  • Just another e46.

    Hello, my name is Bruno, I'm from Brazil. Have been watching stanceworks for quite a few years but i don't usually post anything, so I'm guessing it's time for my build. Had a few cars before which I'm posting down here some of them.
    This is a little pickup we have in Brazil, its called Saveiro, it was on springs.

    Ford fusion, also on springs.


    My turbo beetle: Miss it alot


    Now it comes to my actual car. A bmw e46 328 sedan. This is how i got her.








    Did a full check up on her:
    Had two oil leaks, took care of both.
    Some parts of the suspension had to be taken care of too, nothing too much.
    As shown in the pictures, still some things non mechanical related to be taken care of. Such as steering wheel and rear bumper.

    Now it comes to what I pretend to do.
    Main plan: GO WIDE.

    Air suspension (getting installed).

    Wide wheels (around 10-11J front and 12-13J back, still not sure if 17 or 18 inch).

    Full exhaust (already know what I am going to do).

    Change the whole interior to black suede (talking about the sunroof and top part and the columns, sorry about the english, when it comes to some parts, it gets quite difficult. My intentions are to leave it pretty much all OEM besides that, but to match all the rest).

    Camber? As much as i can ride.

    Maybe swap my chrome grills on front to black ones.

    Possibility of wide body is considered.

    Still thinking about what i could/should do, but i intend to make a great build, even tho when it comes to $$, shit gets really harder on Brazil, our currency is weak and when it comes to taxes, it costs me 67% of the wheel price AND shipping to bring some wheels here, but it MUST BE DONE.


    Thats pretty much all i have to say so far, i believe soon I will be posting some more pictures of her bagged.

      It's been a while since i have made this thread and kinda forgot about it, i will try to upload what happened to the car in the meanwhile.
      This happened, AC Schnitzer, 17x8,5 and 17x10




      25mm front and 30mm back adapters, running 5 offset front and 3 offset back.



      195/40/17 nankangs front and 205/40/17 falkens back. (those are the back tyres)



      After wheels and spacers on:









      Still wasnt very happy with the camber on the back, so i installed some adjustable lower camber arms: (aligment not done yet)



      After a while took the wheels off and this is how she sits at the moment:



      After 3 long months of waiting and being taxed with what sums up to 100% of the price that i paid for the lips and barrels, I am getting together a set of 17x9,5 and 17x11 Oz futura.
      3,5 lips front and 4,5 lips back.






      My bolts arrived TODAY and now I am going to redrill the faces from 5x114,3 to 5x120 which is going to give me 6 offset front and 0 offset back and trying to figure out what color i am going to paint them.
