Hey guys,
My name is Brandon. I'm currently living in Las Vegas. Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area.
Anyways, here's my E46. Picked it up in late December. Sold my 1969 2002 to get it (picture below). I had to move to Phoenix so my 2002 had to go. Just couldn't come with me.
The day after I got the car I made the long drive from Northern California to Phoenix, Arizona stocked up with coolant and oil and hoping nothing broke.
Along the way of my 14 hr drive I fell asleep on the freeway and scraped my driver rear fender and bent a wheel. Definitely not the worst that could have happened. But sucks either way.
So first order of business, since it had been scraped down to bare metal I decided to rattle can the quarter panel in order to prevent rust. Also did a little touch up on the front bumper.
Had some leftover paint so I sprayed my interior trim. Not the best move, but hey it looks better than fake wood.
Got some new lights and kidney grills.
My LED corners fell out on the freeway. $80 down the drain. So I was back to rocking my ambers.
Right before my drive to move out to Vegas. Car packed to the brim.
Got a deal on my roof rack from my buddy.
Picked up a set of BBS RC090 for stupid cheap.
Rocked the roofrack and the style 5s for a while.
Got hooked up on full M3 interior for helping out a friend. He also threw in a roof spoiler. Gross trim and stock seats gone.
Finally mustered up some cash, with help from my tax return, thanks government!, so I could buy broadway statics.
Got tired of the roof rack and roof spoiler, still sitting in my living room. So I took those off. Still running my style 5s.
With help from a few friends I took my style 5s off and started refinishing them.
Went for a clean look, just polished lip and bolts with OEM faces.
Got the wheels done in a week.
Ordered black and silver BBS caps to finish the wheels off.
Made some suspension adjustment and did my first photoshoot with my car.
Sold my BBS style 5s and no I'm back on my stock wheels for now.
Picked up some autostrada modenas for pretty cheap from Australia.
That's it for now. Future things to come involve a new bumper, a pretty awesome center console setup, autostrada modenas going on my car, and much much more.
Thanks for reading
