My Alpine White E46 330i Sport

[FILV]

I agree.. Probably the cleanest E46 on the road... If it ever gets on the road 😂

im surprised it didn't get towed on a trailer by the X5 while on that run 😁

Leave the bra. He must save it for me so I can enjoy it more. 😁

Was lovely meeting you buddy, seeing that E46 of yours in person was something else. car is exceptionally clean and pics don't do justice. Until the next run!

Still the nicest E46 out there.

Let me know next time you do a run, I'd be keen to join in my shtbox

I think each year that passes, it gets cleaner. Looking so good
Glad she got some much needed attention and had some fun out.

Thanks Fil, appreciate this. I try to give it a little TLC, but with an older car, always something to do...

Honestly, the amount of attention for this Mtech 1, it was astounding.. I remember when the Mtech II kit is/was everything and at one point I even considered changing bumpers lol.

Haha! I can assure you that 2k mileage was not done on a dyno

Now there's an idea... I have never towed anything with the X5!

You are an E46 Hongra.. Sedan, coupe, vert - I am sure you want them all.

Thanks Migs, likewise. Your thread needs a serious update - that E46 is stunning!

Also waiting on that other thread...

That is high praise, thank you Benji! I promise, its nice from far. 😅

For sure, there is one planned for 23rd Nov - will send you details.

nah I wont do well in a vert in Cape Town sun. I don't "tan". I usually just end up looking like burned oil

This car is awesome, i love the Z4M wheels on the E46, its perfect.. Interior and exterior is so clean too, must turn heads everywhere it goes.

Thanks for the support Kev, Glad i could assist. 🙏

Can't remember when last I've seen another MTech 1...remains to be a proper looker !

I hear that the M3 cluster unlocks more speed with these M54

 

[AshG108]

Mtech 1 still has a certain spot for everyone.
I feel the MTech 1 was a more sublte touch to the E46 shape which enhanced it enough to be an elegant sporty look.
The Mtech 2 was a more involved change but I always like the subtle Mtech 1 look for that simple yet elegant transformation.
Cab is looking super Kev!

P.S, the V8 needs some more airtime though...when is the next exhaust clip?

Time for the annual thread update.. Still loving the 46 life, have a few friends suffering with seller's remorse recently and I don't envy them in the least. In life, some choices we don't get to make a second time.

Since the last update, not much has happened in all honesty as I have spent 6 months with the car being away from home. The garage chronicles continue...

Earlier this year I decided it was a good idea to get rid of the metal plates and get some perspex ones mounted with magnets (M3 got the same treatment). I also used this opportunity to update the sand blasted impact trims with some new OEM ones all around to freshen up the exterior. Magnets were a bad idea, the car hardly ever has a front plate on now, I also kinda influenced @Benji to do the same LOL.





Doing the school runs to get some seat time in





Pulled the car out of storage a few months ago to attend another e-unit run and give the car some much needed road time. Managed to run ahead of the pack with many other NA cars present, which is almost never the case on other runs. Gotta love the theatre of the older E-series cars before the advent of FI.

















After a week and a bit of use, back into storage until the renovation is hopefully done at the end of this month. Some last shots to end the update, still such a timeless design IMO...
