[MisterAK]

My 47 year old father loved this at UD. I only got an iPhone pic but you got papped!

[Dr.AK]

Ok wow, how exactly did I miss this?

I will freely admit to not being an E46 fan at all... but I am a MASSIVE fan of yours. If I were to build one it would pretty much look exactly the same.

The RFs fit the E46 soooo well, maybe even better than the E36.

Great job!

[Thooooom]

looks awesome !

I think you could round it up with some amber tails...

yeah theyre on my list! finding them is extremely difficult in the UK, will be keeping an eye out for some soon though.

wow dude, glad to hear ive converted you! i never used to be a fan at all, im not sure what changed me but i really love this car now. i love the wide front arches, a decent front fitment was one of my main focus' of this car, because ive never really pulled it off in the past. no matter how much i see it everyday i never get bored of looking at it.

Im really happy with the wheels too, seen a few e46's on RF's but not as many as you'd think! do love them on e36's too!

thanks for the kind words everyone.

Nice work on the rear, glad you got it lower. There arent many facelifts ones on RF's and it flows so well with the chassis.

Your car looks mint !

A little more camber all around would be great.

[Korito1887]

Those RF's look great man. Top work.

[UpperClass]

Looks killer!

[Thooooom]

thanks everyone!

few other photos have popped up from the weekend, this one shows the new rear height off a bit better so i thought id post it.

The wheels go really well with this, nice work man! Im looking forward to possibly seeing this around but I'm from Lancashire so yeah... haha

Really like this.

As you got HSDs I'm assuming you got them from Driftworks? I'm sure that they can source stiffer springs, if not then I think they know of suppliers.

Also now following on IG.

yeah i got them from driftworks. i considered contacting them about it, but someone else i know apparently tried the same thing and they werent much use, said the wheel specs were too aggressive and it wouldnt ever work. it seems to be sorted now anyway so im happy for the time being!

[Thooooom]

oil change tomorrow and MOT inspection on monday. will be interesting to get it up on a ramp and see how much damage ive done so far haha

[projecthoarder]

Looks damn good man, all these gorgeous BMW's all over the world makes me want one.
