First off, very nice I like!

However is it just me or do the rear wheels look smaller than the front??

Yeah 2.5 straight six

Very stunning example. Can't say I rate the exhaust tailpipe at all even if it is ACS

Maz · 19 Apr 2007 at 17:58

Got that for a good price IMO.

NickXX · 19 Apr 2007 at 18:06

I do like that

ACS exhaust sounds great too - have you got any plans for it?

Only doing few bits and pieces. The alloys im going to get refurbed, the faces are ok but inside the rim they are pitted and peeling quite bad.

Fitting a Dave.F induction kit off e36coupe.com and then possibly a remap.

Interior just add a few ac schnitzer goodies such as pedals, gearknob and handbrake.

Thats about it really

Great stuff - I was hoping you would leave it as is. I do like those 18s - work very well with the chrome too. One suggestion I have would be an ACS roof spoiler (sits at the top of the rear window) - would work perfectly on it.

Don't bother with the ACS interior tat, makes little difference (How often do you look at your pedals when driving? Infact, how often do you EVER look at your pedals?).

Instead spend the money on a multifunction Sport steering wheel - the early wheel in the E46 is awful, a new wheel really will refresh the interior.

The_One · 19 Apr 2007 at 18:24

I'll look into the roof spoiler and the wheel, cheers guys

[TW]Fox · 19 Apr 2007 at 18:26

Needs a boot spoiler before it gets a roof spoiler, to be honest.

Agreed

Cant argue with that for £4300! bargaintastic.

Makes me kinda wonder why ive just paid about 3 times that for mine

Bri · 19 Apr 2007 at 18:36

Looks very smart, good purchase
