I miss my e30... downtown mpls photos inside

[hi its me alec]

So yeah... I've been attempting to do an M50 swap on my e30, and it's taken much longer than expected (4-5 days expected, over a month spent so far.) Since I don't have a working e30 to share, here's my e46. (i'm bored)

I would love to hear opinions on this car. I really want to go back to black door/bumper moldings.



(and the band-aid! lol)








But anyway, here are the pictures from today.







(new Twins stadium.. it will be sick)

Yes sir! These pictures do it about 40% justice... the color is much more saturated IRL and on my computer.

and thank YOU for the houndstooth!!! i love it, and i scored some matching hounds F/R seats the day after your door panels came in the mail, bought them with a parts car for $200.

I dig it.

You should keep the painted moldings, they look much cleaner on your car than the black moldings. This is coming from a guy who usually hates painted moldings.

I agree... noted :D

I think what I'll end up doing is getting one of those 3" wide rolls of painter's tape and store all my painted moldings in a closet somewhere. I already have a complete set of black that I picked up from a combination of wrecked cars at a junkyard, and a few things about the paint on these moldings really bothers me. The paint job overall is sub-par and the driver's side rear bumper molding is much greener than the rest of the car IRL. Pain in the ass...

your car looks great.
I love the stance and the wheels are perfect.
something about the color makes it really appealing too.
that, and it's a 4 door :)

nice e46 and good luck with the swap. that color should be on e30's

[5spoke]

did you used to have bronze wheels on this car?

[optimusp517]

Man I was so ready to unload some dough on those wheels when I first had the e46. You don't even know man!

[shmutzigE30]

so sick. love seeing this on e46fanatics "). keep the molding as is in my opinion
