Help to pimp a e46 330i (wheels, exhaust, paint color, BBK , suspension)

[diegom6]

Why would he want a BBK if he doesn't track his car? Are his existing breaks not sufficient to engage abs? Does he experience brake fade from stop light to stop light? Give him a good set of pads and send him on his way...

I guess for the sake of "LooK" only :) I don't care for what he want it, as long he let me play with some cool upgrades:D

You mean 19's look best in e46 or 18's? Sorry didn't understand.

2. SC over turbo on a e46. Turbos just dont work as well.

lolwut?


I'd reccomend a UUC TSE as far as exhausts go.

Why does he want a BBK? Just for looks, I take it? Is he aware of the cost?

Laguna seca blue with silver BBS LM's ! Or LeMans Blue with black LM's.

bbs ch + le mans blue + GC coils + stoptechs + UUC TSE = win

Define "pimp." I think the ZHP sedan looks just about perfect.



Then again that's just me.

It looks like we got a set of 18" staggered rims locally. Next week we will test fit them. These came originanly from other e46 4 door. O.Z. Superllegera (sp?) Forged 2 piece.

Now, not sure what brand/model of tires buy. Any suggestions? Soemthing sporty, but not rock solid wall, too much cracks on the roads here to keep recieveing vibes/hits from hard side wall tires. A compound that sticky on the dry surface like a semi slcik tire! No problem if they don't last long enough.

He currently have the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS3 (?) and it's a nice tire, combines comforty, sporty look, very good grip and quite. Perhaps a identical set of these if we don't find anything really good...but I would love to try another brand/model.

Any suggestions?

Could be the camera angle but IMO that needs a drop.:hitler:

You used the words "pimp out." So first on your list should be a new vocabulary. Second should be sub frame reinforcement, go look at how bad these things fall apart. Then a set of bbs and go low, set of good pads and that's all it needs. As far as color goes, nothing beats lugina on an e46. Remis sounds nice IMO so I would go that route on exhaust.

Unless he has plans to track the car or is planing on serious power "big brakes" really are not needed. A super charger works better for an e46 and the turbo kits cost way to much.

If he really wants to be boss hog then get him some ITBs or ditch the drive by wire shit.

Again, what?

A turbo setup is going to make a lot more power. I don't know where you got the impression that a supercharger "works better". Supercharger setups are more inexpensive, and simpler. Turbo setups make better power.

ITBs are a horrible idea.

does this car have the zhp package? or is it just a regular 330i with a few M sport bits? as others have said - 1st thing is sub frame reinforcement - wheels I think 18's look fine, but its a personal preference - I had staggered bayern mesh 18's on mine and the rears looked a little small (due to the wide lip) they def. looked smaller than the stock zhp rims - as far as blues - I would stay away from laguna on a 330i and I think Mysticblau Metallic would look tits for sure
