Gizmo's E46 Touring Build

[Gizmo]

I took some pics today of the first mods I've done. Seeing as I want to keep the motorplan the mods can only be cosmetics and vehicle trim.
I installed a E90 sportpack gearknob and a center consol with armrest, including a de-badge and adding some polished tips. Andrew will recognize the exhaust tips. The big one is the new wheels, I was inspired by the other touring with these wheels on the forum:thumb:
E90 sportpack 17x8.5 all round. I have 2 17x8 rims too if I want a staggered setup but for now its wides all round.

I think it looks good... :thumb: The gear knob makes all the difference.

I see those your rims have your name on...

Someone help me resize these pics they are quite large!

 

[Sankekur]

Looking good so far, I can resize the pics for you if you want.

Looking Good Gizmo.. Not A fan of those wheels but they actually look nice on the touring.. Are those the tips from the system I had on the E36? Just keep them polished every few weeks & they look awesome

I Agree with the others, a 20% Tint is in order imp:

And then after October, you can fit your Xenons & HID set up for the fogs.. And some front Splitters

The e46 touring is a sexy little number. Looking good Gizmo.

on th e46 the stock touring does not look that great. It has to have the sportpack on.
Wheel are personal taste, prepare the wheel it had on. THe gearknob looks great.

I'm glad you jump me for that wagon other wise i would not have gotten the e39 touring manual. thanks gizmo
