I always wanted to share here when I finally have a fun aggressive fitment DD....and now the time has come. It's not a crazy aggressive aggressive fitment but it works for me.
I always wanted an E46 ZHP or M3 and when it came time for another DD I couldn't find the perfect one. When an accident took out at the time current DD I had very little time to find a new car. Long story short I found this in Georgia and I knew I had to have it.
Specs:
-2004 330i
-ZSP, ZPP packages
-Optioned Natural Brown Leather
-97k miles when purchased (now 109k after 6 months)
Maintenance:
-Cooling system overhaul
-Fluid change with all BMW genuine parts
-New headlight assemblies (burnt bowls)
-Window Regulators
-Air Filter
-Rotors and pads
-Washer fluid pump
I won't bore you with all the maintenance pictures
Modifications so far:
-Poly Fcabs
-M3 Engine and trans mounts
-H&R Cup Kit (no rear spring pads)
Wheel Spec:
-17x9 ET30 Hyper Black Apex ARC-8
Tires:
245/40R17 Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 (arguably rebranded Bridgestone Potenza RE003)
No fender modifications needed up front. A slight roll in the rear is needed since I rub under large bumps at highway speeds with a full tank of gas. Other than that.....plenty of room IMO.
