My E46 Coupe

Awesome. Saw pictures of that meet on my Facebook feed. The silver c6 z06 was my uncle's and the maroon c4 next to it was his son's car.

I changed to Flickr because the quality seems to be better, and there may be some new parts soon

Went to a meet this morning, met a couple other BMW guys. The M3 was supercharged, and the E36 had an S52 motor in it.

all i got from this was plastidip black wheels and super hardcore hella tight angle shots.

please take normal photos and don't follow any trends, do something original and you will really turn heads, instead of making people turn their heads to look at your photos.

in b4 ******. i do like that its a coupe though, it COULD be really clean if done right.

I am in high school. Plasti dip black wheels is a temporary thing. I have another set of wheels, but no tires yet, and I don't see an issue with my pictures?

I don't live in WR anymore, but my brother lives in Bonaire. His most noticeable car is a yellow z06 with flares and black CCWs

That would explain why I haven't seen you. I'll keep an eye out for your brothers car, although Bonaire is still not super close haha

Thanks man! I actually live in Byron now. So I'm a bit closer to WR. I haven't seen you around, but I just read your build thread this morning!

Looks good so far, but let me give you a small piece of advice: stop horsing around with the things you don't need (spacers for the stock wheels, steel wheels with tires, etc.) and focus on what you need to do. The little stuff adds up ($70 + 90 = $160 you could have put towards paint/powdercoat for your Kosei's, or tires), and hinders you from your real goal of coilovers and nice wheels.

I get it, we've all gone through the "let's paint stock stuff because hardXcore budget car", so I can't rip on you too badly. Keep your focus, do your thing, and remember: it's better to be seen in a stock car, than it is to be seen in a car that's trying to pretend that it's something else.

Yeah, but I need 20mm spacers on the rear with Kosei's, so that wasn't entirely for the stock wheels, I paid less for all 4 than I would for 2 brand new ones. And I admit the steel wheels were probably a waste of money, but I'm gonna sell them eventually. Thanks for the advice though!

Looks good man, good progress. I saw this thread before but missed that you were from Macon. I'm from Warner Robins so some of the pictures/locations looked familiar, I'll be watching this

Due to finals coming up, I haven't been able to do much. I did buy a set of steel wheels for $90 with tires, really just to destroy, because I don't have tires on the Kosei's yet. They're steel wheels, but I'll still post pictures. They're staggered 15x6.5 and 15x7 These were the dirtiest wheels I have ever seen, I had to wash them 4 times until the water coming off was not black anymore.







I will be buying paint for the Kosei's in the next week or so. I'm rattle canning them, so I want to buy decent stuff. I'm thinking either gunmetal, silver, or gold. This is just a heads up, suspension will be a slow process. I'm buying my own coilovers, so it will take some time before I can order them. Any suggestions for someone on a budget? I want to buy something decent.

I really like the facelift E46 Coupes...i´m not a fan of the tinted tails but I´m excited to see the kosei´s on...

Tails aren't for everyone haha, but yeah I'm excited for the Kosei's too. A buddy is tryin to get me a deal on powder coating, so we'll see where it goes.
