  • my e46 sedan..

    Was getting a lot of negative/mixed critisism on bimmer forums and other forums for the way my car looks, althought I really like it. I'm not completely done, (needs more spacers out back) but I am aiming for the dumped but classy look. not agressive/fast. its a 03' 325i sport/prem fully loaded with every single option other than ZHP. Recently put on 205/40/17 on my 17" BMW wheels. Figured id post some new pics since I havnt been on here in almost a year.

    Sorry i'm no photographer, and she is a DAILY DRIVEN car. put 25k on this stance.










    Needs more poke, soon

    Either raise the rear or radius rear quarters or lower the front.

            Props for driving it that low everyday. Just even it out and you're fine.

                Lower the front just a smidge, awesomely low, should look great with some nice 17s on there.

                    Lift the rear up a good amount, you have reverse rake going on right now.
                    Also lose the tint on the ambers up front.

                    Overall though, very nice sir!
                    Can't wait to see it with some more poke, this is one of the most promising e46 sedans I've seen.
                    If you havin' fitment problems I feel bad for you, son.
                    I got 99 problems but my stance ain't one.

                      I don't see the reverse rake you speak of, looking at his skirts the car still has some forward rake, fender height =/= rake. The rear fenders on E46s are substantially lower than the fronts. Its nice to see someone trying for the level look. I dig it.

                        +1 E46s will always look slightly raked no matter what

                        Front can come down some!
                        Looks good though like I said on E46f

                          never understood that either. its not just e46s. its all bmws. if you have the same amount of tire showing front and rear, then the car isnt level and you have the raked look. the car is currently level.

                            I agree, I wish I could do about 2 turns down up front, but I can't go any lower due to a speed bump in my current apartment complex.

                            She is just level, not reverse. as said ^

                            Thank you for the compliment... I get mixed feelings on the headlamps/corners too, one day it'll get clear everything with m3 led tails. one day, thats way down on the list though, maiintenance first.

                            This. I got my starts in air ride. I prefer level over rake on any car. And if I measure front and rear jack points, its stillll lower upfront.

                            this






                            edit.. couple more photos ill leave here.

                            interior. keep it clean and factory. i may have posted this on e46f but ill leave it here aswell.


                            and this is how much i need to come out for flush out back. camber will be sick once the spacers are on and the fender is rolled.





                            and this is why, sadly, i had to turn the front coils up a little bit. once i move out this shithole shes going back down up front.
