My opnion... and I'm sure I'm going to get roasted by many but screw it, it's my opinion:

I think the E46 4 door facelift looks a bit femanine compared to the pre-facelift. I think the M-techI kit looks hot on both the facelift and pre-facelift but the M-techII kit only looks good on the facelift.

If I was you, I would go M-techI kit, red and clear back lights, smoked/clear front indicators and side indicators and then if you really want to put a cherry on top, add style 44 or 68 wheels.

Again... my opinion.

Hi Guys

Hope everyone is well.... an update of what was done and what’s still to come.

08-08-2020
I did a full service from the oil change, new spark plugs, new expansion tank, petrol filter, air filter, cabin filter, brake fluid and also changed the bonnet cable since mine had snapped which was stressful.





4 Days later I popped by Mintys and got all 4 new Nexen tires as I was on a budget






On Tuesday I had a free day and went looking for some black
interior parts and managed to get 4 black door panels, a boot spoiler and black carpet... hopefully soon I’ll
Manage to get a decent set of black m sport seats and good condition rear seats and and what ever else will be need to change the interior to black.

So Sunday evening on my way home from Chicken Licken I got inside the car and tried to start it up as usual and boom it would start  then just die out without moving and the first thought that came to mind was that the fuel pump has failed, I lifted the rear seat to listen as I cranked it and there was no sound coming from the fuel pump. I had to get the car towed home sadly lol.

So yesterday I went to get a brand new pump and installed it and also checked for any leaks while I put turned the key ON to see if the pump was working and then double cheeked you see if I secured everything and then I finally turned it on and it started on the first go.

It was a easy DIY and a new learning experience for me.

I must say it held up well for a 19 year old car and on exactly 320 000km with the original pump.
