Bagged E46 Saloon

[MrSloanes]

Okay so i got this little fella for £1,900 with 80k on the clock, its the 320iSE which is a 2.2 petrol. Got it just over a month ago, its moved fairly quick....
How i got her.

After a Clean


Engine Before:

After

Got some rims

Got some air








Pardon the excessive front camber, fully adjustable top mounts so will wind it in a bit once i get the arches rolled properly

Some other random pics i have taken in the last week or so.
Went out and took some pics tonight. This aint all of them, theres more on FB but a lot are similar.

Wicked stuff man.

What else do you have planned?

[MrSloanes]

thanks mate not had it long but loving how its looking now.

What else do you? sorry mate not sure what you mean

[BenTen]

Accidently hit post and hadn't finished typing. Edited now lol

[MrSloanes]

ah lol.
At the minute im not too sure, im thinking of interior retrim, a smarter looking install for my airtank etc which will also be trimmed. Got a couple of scuffs on my bumper to sort and wheel refurb, then not 100% sure after that. I aint had it long and never normally had a project that moved as quick as this one has so normally i have all kinds planned where this time i done everything i had planned pretty much instantly lol.

Amazing work man, where abouts in UK are you? Be sure to check out the UK section on here

What did you use to clean the engine bay? Just degreaser and jet wash?

[MrSloanes]

Im from sunny Sunderland mate up north

Na mate just a detailing brush with a bucket water and bodywork shampoo which took a hour or so then MF cloth wet with quick detailer. I dont have a hose pipe or jetwash at home so i always have to clean everything by hand with a bucket of water lol.
Funnily enough Autoglym Leather Cleaner to give it a nice shine without a greasy finish. I find its not too clever on cleaning leather (even tho thats its main job) but on plastic trim and dash board etc its quality stuff lol
