My e46 journey

[jdmken]

So been lurking here for a bit and never really posted my car on here so decided to make a build thread with my new project. I had a scion xb prior to this car but traded to a e46 because i missed the euro cars when i had my e36 m3 2 years back.

When I first got the my car on 7/16. It was a normal bone stock 2001 325i white sedan.




The weekend after i got my car I got my fenders rolled, installed rokkor coils (cant beat the price lol ) and put on a set of bbs rks




This is how it sat after i installed them

[jdmken]

A couple days after I got my rks on, I got a smoking deal for a set of nues 19x8.5 so i jumped on that quickly. Mounted Tires and installed them and was able to tuck the rears but was limited on my fronts.




I ended up selling both my bbs and rotifomrs because I didnt like how they fitted. Im currently borrowing my buddies Zauber wheels for a time being while he fixes his car. Gonna be showing like this for the up coming played out show and infamous show in socal. Yes I only had the car for about 3 weeks and already had 3 set of wheels on it lol. Plans are to go for a vip style euro theme on this int he future.





Ordered a front lip and a headunit so i dont have to use the crappy business cd lol. Ill be updating once i get those in.

damn. i loved it with the nue's on. you work fast.

I might be the only one, but I think it looks better with the rotis, just needs to be a smidge lower in the front

[jdmken]

Got the wheels fitted on and slightly dialed in. There just temporary but kinda like the looks of it.

[Khalil]

Nice. Front needs to be lower though, somewhat close to match the rear.

[jdmken]

yeah planning on lower the fronts a tad bit. The stupid oem bumper makes it look super high lol. Ordering a mtech 2 bumper soon and see how that goes.

I think you should get of zauber (sp) wheels again, they looked great!

[Nuts]

I like the look of the Elipsodes, suits the car much better.

[btober]

looks great i own a e46 330i alphine white and have m68s painted white jus waiting for my rokkors also

[Spirit]

now i loved those

[willis]

Looked so good on the zaubers, but looks great on all the sets of wheels honestly. Way to be a wheel whore.

i wish the Zaubers were wider.

How do the racelands ride on your e46?
Be honest lol, just curious. not criticizing.

And what setting do you have them at?

those rokkors are pretty solid coilovers for the price. its not stiff but the ride comfort is pretty damn good. as long as you dont slam them all the way and leave some decent amount of travel it should be good.
