My California influenced 330i ZHP

Recommended Posts

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...

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.

US cars have side reflectors on the bumpers

Looks nice though :)
