petrolveins Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Hello all, not a regular poster on here, can usually be found on PistonHeads with the same username. Not had a chance to show off my E46 330i Sport, it's a September 2003 car I bought in December 2011 when I was 19. I wanted it to be a bit different to all the other modified E46s out there, in my opinion some of them look crap when people go down the Euro route, and they end up all looking the same, so I did the opposite and have gone down the US route. Here's how the car looked when I picked it up... My BMW E46 330i Sport by tlynchie, on Flickr My BMW E46 330i Sport by tlynchie, on Flickr Here is how it looks today... E46 330i ZHP by tlynchie, on Flickr E46 330i ZHP by tlynchie, on Flickr E46 330i ZHP Cali by tlynchie, on Flickr The main modifications I've done being fitting HSD DualTech Coilovers, all round amber lights to replace the clear ones and a set of Style 68 wheels. Before you all ask, no I don't run the Cali plates anywhere other than parked up for photos and at shows. It's not a show car this by any means though, it gets used hard, goes on track and enjoyed throughly. It's a keeper for sure. Hope you all like, please feel free to comment, I will pop up some more photos a bit later. TriggerFish and Edd83 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickzsingh Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Looks good...I would probably go for an american boot so the number plate fits in better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bungers Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Quite like it, the amber works well against the blue. Did you change your headlights to xenon units for the trackday?! Rich_D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
