My 330d ///Mdiesel

[KAKA]

Howsit guys??
So this being my 3rd thread on my cars (I deleted the previous ones cause my number plates were quite visible, its getting dangerous these days).. Anyhow, I decided im going to show my e46 330d(numberplates shopped :bravo: )
I bought it in jan '11 with 42***km on clock, bear in mind this is a 2003 model..8 yr old car with such mileage(almost impossible to find!!)
But i got bit!!
my baby: inlove:

When i got her, 2003 330d 135kw and i think 380nm.
exclusive pack with r/towbar, m/f steering wheel, pdc and arm rest.
Stock in everyway possible.

So anyways, the bug bit and not being able to leave things as they are...
I sourced some original clear indicators of a e46 individual(my sisters):joy:
Notice the mud guards missing and the thin boot spoiler..

some pics of the interior.. rear seats were literally never used.

My next step after the indicators was to get some rims, the choice is vast but im fussy, couldn't go 19" as i travel long distance often with big loads and it would touch and be to hard etc and i wanted something from the BMW stable (oem rocks:thumbs: ) i finally chose my rim and voila..

Here she is.. my babe with fresh 1coupe s/pack tekkies

sooo guys :=): i love it..
what do you think? any ideas on future mods what i can do etc??

thanks again..

oh and thanks to the wheel shop for the rims, top stuff shaheen!

nowwww... what comes next..

[Sankekur]

:rollsmile: my car is not that neat, up close it has a lot of scratches and little dings aaah the joys of a car being a daily.
Thanks man :=):


Xenons in the fogs as they are is fine, but if you want to put xenons in the headlights rather hold out till you can get a set of OEM xenon headlights or import yourself a proper set of aftermarket projector headlights.

 

[AshG108]
