After 1500 Posts, I finally got a Car/BMW 330d

[MadMax]

its gone.

End of an Era for me. Its the First time I don´t own a BMW in the last 6 Years...and I also owned this Car for 6 Years.
Was my first Car and is really in my Heart but it was time to let go.

I daily an Volvo V60 now and still have the Skyline. Ideally I wanna pick up a cheap-ish RWD Car to do some more spirited driving. or even an FWD Car or an 4x4

Time will tell.

if you can definately get an E46...lovely cars.
they are off the E63/64 8/9x18 with awesome offsets.

second update in a day:

Interior Tune Up is gonna start soon.

[MadMax]

Just started following, excited for updates, really dig the look of the 36, wanna see more of that, and definitely want to see that recaro in the 46

thank you!
the E46 Seat went into the E36...wich makes more sense for me and finally made it to get some proper-ish pictures of the E36




its really nothing special and I kinda would like to lower more but we´ll see

Hello People of Stanceworks.

although no one seems to care i´ll just update this:

The E46 is in for TÜV next month wich means i need to spin up the coils a little also i´m back on the OZ Cygnus but lost 1 of the Centercaps wich sucks. I kinda want to keep the E46 as a "clean-ish" daily that doesn´t attract to much attention from Police so i´ll maybe just get some Z4 17s next summer and space them out a little. Not as good looking as the wheels i had so far but atleast i should have no problems with cops. The Skyline is for doing dumb shit.

wich leads to some more dumb shit:
I´m back in an E36. The Skyline is no suitable fun car for the winter and I missed doing some rowdy shit. I initally wanted to get an 318ti Compact but found an 320 Coupe for around the same an Compact would cost.
It´s in bad. really really bad condition but the engine is quite alright
Set my Budget to 1000€ for everything. and I still havent maxed that out. Bought the Car and got coils before I got the car home. Then bought some wintertires for an extra Set of 3 Spokes i had laying around.

I only have one proper stupid picture of the Car as I work from 8am-6pm Currently and i´m not around the car on weekdays that much. It´s still running the 17s I had on the E46 in the back.
Its super basic spec otherwise. Semi stripped out, an Confetti Recaro, a Momo Steering wheel, the cheapest Coils possible, 8/9x17 Styling 38s with Winter Tires

Should be good fun in the Snow.



i´ll try to get some better pictures in the next days !

soooooo one week after telling people to stay away from E46s on 17s..i´m back on 17s.

due to my tiptop alingment I wore my 18s down to the treads and still had those 17s with tires. They´re rubbing pretty bad but they look kinda cool and combined with the Stud Conversion it kinda looks racecar-ey

[MadMax]

I liked them because the were a bit ridiculous.., but i have a weird thing for 3 Spokes...
I'm going thru that with out 'vert, good fitmend with 17s is hard to achieve...

What ever happend to the VS-KFs? Would look cool on there and/or on the skyline.

they definately were something different...but i got fed up with the look and having to explain why I´m running 3 spokes and that I really enjoy the way they look.

Never got the VS-Kfs and the guy never put them up for sale again so i´m pretty sure that was scam.


The car has been working faultlessly for the last 2 weeks and its a good feeling just to hop in and drive around with it.
I´d like to drop the rear a little more so i´ll maybe to that when I get the motivation to work with my hands.

Got into a Snowstorm on the way to work last week wich was cool and scary...but it made a kinda cool background for a picture.
I wish i would have put some more thought into taking this but I was late to work anyways and it was freezing.

i´m kinda over the 3 Spokes...they were fun while they lasted but being a 100% real they looked kinda ridiculous and I had a hard time getting proper fitment with the 17s on a daily.
I kinda want to run different winter wheels too...but those cynus are the only ones I got that are street legal.
I do really need to start doing bits to this car and to the Skyline...especially to the Skyline since it´s been hiding in the shed for over a year.

3 Spokes? 3 Spokes!

I´m having the worst time with this car.
It kinda feels like it´s been cursed since rolling over 300k.

after swapping the Speed Sensor for the wrong one in January I replaced my Glowplugs (Diesel, yo) in late february. They went suprisingly well for being in there for 12 Years...only sheared off one (expected to rip them all off) but was a proper shit work. pretty much 3 weeks later the front right caliper seized wich led to me replacing all the stuff listed in the last post.
Been driving for not even a week and it started loosing coolant. Expected it to be the radiator as there was a weird looking wet spot. So ordered a new rad and expansion tank...put both in and when we started to bleed the system it leaked from one of the coolant hoses. Pretty sure I broke it when removing it from the old rad...or the rad never needed changing, orderer a new hose from work on Thursday...got told it should arrive the same day, then 2 hours later my Co Worker called to tell me it wont arrive until tuesday...wich leaves me without a car for nearly another week.

sorry for the amount of text. trying to bring some pictures in the next time I update this. My new Seat Rail arrived and I bought new tails since the old ones were looking scrabby.
Been toying with new wheel ideas too. kinda want some BBS RCs or AC Schnitzer Type 3s

[MadMax]

weekly update:

raised the front slightly and dropped the rear a little also didnt put in my recaro since the Seat Rail kinda sucked...but I may get another one next week

onto the weekly picture (i know it looks the exact same as last week)



the front is sitting perfect for the wild driving I wanna do...maybe i´ll drop the rear another cm or so

what you can´t see: replaced my top hats with camber plates, put in braided brake hoses and replaced my brake pads with EBC Yellow Stuff wich make it proper fun to drive on the locals mountain roads

[MadMax]

yoo i really dig this, infact it's quite literally what I'm after atm

What wheels are they? (if you dont mind me copying you haha)

thank you !
if you can definately get an E46...lovely cars.
