M111 RMM: BMW 330ci Respray pics pg41

[MILLER_102]

Well... after owning a 318ci for the last 2years... i started looking around for what i could buy next, ideas such as ep3 type r/evo7/dc5s/golf etc... all came into my head. Well til i took a drive in the 330ci sport... what can i say! amazing car to drive and very well finished off!

So after test driving numerous cars i ended up buying one.

02 330ci sport... in sapphire black metallic. i know i swore id never have another black car but couldnt resist this. Full bmw service history and factory upgraded ACS mirrors Waiting on personal plate to be transferred too

Big plans for this one... lots of carbon, coilovers, upgrade to xenons, split width 19s and quite a few wee perfomance upgrades... more will be revealed as this thread progresses.

Have still a few parts from my last e46 coupe... so keep an eye out guys.



Sorry for the crappy quality of pics... camera battery died so only got this one off my phone. Better pics coming tomorro after i get it detailed and interior valeted

[MILLER_102]

Update: carbon fibre cs splitters ordered, depo smoked indicators, silver indicator bulbs. Roll on wed

 

[MILLER_102]

Right.... The time has come again to choose wheels... Obv 19s and split width.. But what should I go for? Was thinkin csls at the start or bbs ch. But they are both quite common. Any other suggestions?

 

[Woodcutter]

LM-R's...see Pablo's post on wheels, there's a chap on here with a red E46 coupe selling a set of reps which look amazing.

8.5" front, 9.5" rear IIRC.

 

[dave b]

defo not csls mate - they are very common now.

what about gt rs?

Dont go down the bbs route, done and done again, i think its hard to beat a set of CSL's

 

[Woodcutter]

CSL's are done to death, also they only suit the M3 anyway.

 

[MILLER_102]

Had the rs gts before as well as acs type 3 racing. Those lmr look nice... But not sure if its just what im after....?

 

[pablo]

CHs arent common on bmws (yet). Armo has them in good sizes iirc staggered width.

Hard to be original these days.

 

[MILLER_102]

Had a nice wee delivery yesterday...

Time to go and get all fitted

Also purchased a set of BC Racing coilovers




pabs... did you get ur front splitters fitted? if so what way did you do it?

 

[saxo_man]

Sweet, all those bits will look superb. Nothing like going a bit mad online

 

[mants]

I have the spilitters on mine now, you just pt them up to the car and then underneath there are holes for the screws to go through, drill a hole through the bumper and then just screw them on, handy enough done.

did yours come with the holes in them? dont think mine did?

 

[pablo]

I fitted mine today just held them in position then drilled a couple of holes through the splitter and the bumper and whacked a self tapper in. Used 4 screws per side. The fit on mine was a bit iffy so I had to press them into position then drill and screw so they didn't sag when I let go. If that makes sense.

Interested to see how u get on with the BC coilovers I had them in the m3 and thought they were great.
