  • Daily dropped bmw e46 saloooooon from the U.K

    basically guys this is what i had to start with after my mum and dad both having beemers i thought id get one aswel
    here it is a week or 2 after i bought it


    i first began by getting coilovers and dropped it a fair few inches and realized i ***** the wheels!
    so i set out to find some rare wheels that would suit it and i found these bad boys!
    BBS TGF 18" running 9s at the rear and 8 at the front

    this was at modified nationals in 2010


    after driving the car for about 6 months like that i took it off the road for winter and made some big changes i fully stripped the interior out and died the carpets and put full beige leather interior in and adding some silly camber at the rear so i could go lower without smashing my arches up! and also re-sprayed the bonnet (myself) added some carbon and colour coded the bumper strips (myself) here is the outcome











    after doing all this i then wanted to go so much lower but the wheels i had on where restricting me so as christmas was coming up i got onthe hunt for some new wheels and came accross these rare BBS splits in 17" with a nice offset so i could go as low i as i wanted



    after test fitting i got worries they were going to look to small


    then after fitting tyres, adjusting the camber and taking the adjusters out my coilovers i dropped it! and i am happy with the outcome!

            Gotta be honest. I wasn't really a fan of those wheels from the first picture of them off the car. However, you totally pulled it off. They look great on there.

                        thanks for all the feedback guys! much appreciated and here as requested are some more photos!
                        since these photos i have lowered the rear as much as i can (removed the adjusters) and put the original chrome grill back on the front

                        opinions on removing the splitter?

                          Looks really good man, I think I prefer the black to how chrome will look.
