Taking my Time - Kielan's E46 Build, Round 2.

[mike-81-240d]

I think the most annoying thing about my M54B25 is the whistling intake boots. Good luck, loved the old car with the m pars.

So like I said, I got some new to me stuff for the car. I've always been a fan of AC Schnitzer parts, so when the oppurtunity to get some came up, for a great deal, I just had to jump at it. Parts I never thought I would own because of rarity and price that I just couldn't justify are now in the car. I am extremely happy with the new parts, and honestly cannot wait to really dig into the car now. At first I was skeptical, but with the ACS stuff, it's like the fire has been re-lit inside me.

For now here are some pretty crappy instagram pictures of what I have. I will be taking better pictures in the near future. The car should be coming back down soon, once I get the Type 2s cleaned up and having tires.

Handbrake, and shifter (suede boots for each as well).


Floor mats (don't mind my shoes).



Mirrors, which I absolutely love, still debating if I will paint them white or not, I really do dig them black.


This isn't an ACS part, but I've wanted these gauge overlays and red needles since I had my first E46.


And the part you've all been waiting for.


Wheels are 18x8.5 et43, so there are spacers in the future, but for now, my primary concern is getting them on the car.

That's all for now folks, expect more updates in the next week.

awesome update!

[Kielan]

Ordered up some tires today, so hopefully those are here before the end of the week.

Also painting the barrels of the wheels tomorrow, I'm thinking either black or silver. I should probably decide soon haha.

Also if you want more constant updates follow me on instagram.

Just for the short term.

215 is not going to be much stretch at all.

215 is not going to be much stretch at all.

I'm aware, they're also 8.5s so getting a ton of stretch isn't really possible anyway.

I'm not going for ZOMGWTFBBQSAUCE fitment, they're just going to fit nicely and be done.
