Gizmo's E46 Touring Build

[Karthik]

Car still looks super hot , but E90 wheels were much better

 

[moranor@axis]

i think the white rims make you not see the tires making the arch gap look even bigger... the e90 rims definitely look better

+1 on the E90 rims

Hmm, tell us about the touring in the background with the Ellipsoids. E90 wheels really work nicely on the E46!!

Edit, once you have had the E90 wheels on an E46 with the different offset that makes it is stand out a bit more, going back to E46 wheels is usually not so satisfying... :rollsmile: Of course E36 wheels in above I gather...

E90 wheels look best, keep up the good work on your rides:thumbs:

I think I preferred the e90 wheels, but these do look good

Thanks! Taking a read though, not sure how I missed this! :nonono:

That doesn't look too bad, all it needs is some more low in the front I think.

 

[Gizmo]

Trying something new with the headlights, tell me which you prefer and why.

Black trim indicators with black trim headlights?

Silver indicators and 330i silver trim headlights?

Black indicators and silver headlights?

 

[moranor@axis]

i prefer the black but you should fit the projectors into the black ones :rollsmile:

 

[Legacy]

The silver looks good but then you need to change the grills to the Chrome which knowing you isn't going to happen so I say stick with the black inside and indicator, its goes well with the grills.

and as moranor said - just put the projectors in the black items

I think the black one is just a old pic before the projectors, cause the black and silver is a separate part that is removable from the light.

Black trim indicators with black trim headlights,

Because they simply complement the car and make it look stunning!!!

 

[Gizmo]

Thats what I thought too, once you go black...:thumbs:

First pic was an old pic.

 

[Gizmo]

Im thinking of changing wheels again, I would like input as to which wheels to fit so help me decide.

Option 1. Stay with the current E90 style M 194 8.5j X 17 all round.

Option 2. E39 540i Auto Style 42 8j x 17 and 9j X 17.

Option 3. E39 540i Manual Style 32 8j X17 and 9j X 17.

 

[///MALCOLM325]

Option 2. Style 42 for me any day!

 

[ClassicB]

Option 1

 

[Fordkoppie]

Anything except option 3.

I am actually leaning towards your current wheels
