    E46 Interior Swap

    Probably a loong shot, but I'm looking to swap seats (F&R) in my 4dr E46. My car is a ZHP, and has the black alcantara interior. I'm looking for black leather if anyone wants to do a straight swap. Seats are in great shape out of a car with 55K miles on it. Only reason for swap is I'm getting a dog next week, and would prefer the leather as dog hair won't stick to it.

    The 4dr ZHP is my favorite E46! We had a boring 325i a while back and we loved it. Is yours imola red by any chance?

    Good luck with the seat swap!

      Nope, no imola...Its dark grey. Here's a couple of pics, along with my other cars. I'm actually not a huge fan of the ZHP. I expected more, and would take an E36 M3 anyday over it. Kinda sad I got rid of mine! Steering is too light, and the lack of an LSD is terrible.

        Very nice collection! I think I have seen your E30 M3 around quite a bit, unless there are other red ones in Golden.

          Doubtful....I've only put about 100 miles on it this year. Haven't had much time for it. The S52 325is is around all the time though. I probably put 10K on that this summer. Getting ready to park it for the winter soon.

            There are at least two other red ones in Golden. One belongs to Doug, and the other one, I do not know the owner.

                  There's a few more pics of it, and some of my past and present cars at www.cardomain.com/id/iannfld Most of the pics of the car there are pre-swap. I've had the car almost 10 years (my first car), so its unlikely its going anywhere, anytime soon...And I'd never get my money back!

                  Here's the build spec:

                  99 stock S52 block
                  Rebuild 95 S50 head
                  Euro maf, 24lb injectors, Turner chip
                  E36 M3 trans
                  E30 M3 driveshaft
                  3.25LSD
                  M roadster shifter
                  ZHP knob
                  M roadster CD43 head unit
                  E36 M3 front knuckels, brakes, control arms
                  E36ti rear set up, powerflex subframe and trailing arm bushings
                  95 M3 steering rack
                  BBS RGR wheels, 235/40/17 Falken Azenis tires
                  Racing dynamics sway bars
                  Ground Control coil overs, Koni dampers, adjsutable camber plates,
                  Mtech 2 steering wheel
                  Ireland engineering muffler with custom exhaust

                  Other than that, its a stock 325is :D

                    Do you still have the RGRs on the E39, or did those get recycled onto the E30?

                        The E39 had 19" BBS RSGTs. The E30 has 17" RGRs. The E30 rims actually came off my E36 M3. Confusing stuff, I know! I bent the RSGTs, had them straigtened, then bent them again, got fed up, and sold them. If I keep the car in the spring, I think I'm going to go with 18" CHs, or possibly some sort of 18" BMW rim...and lower it. I guess 19" rims plus a fat ass wagon and Colorado roads don't mix too well.

                          Oh wow, how did you bend the RSGTs? I hit a curb with a set once at like 30 mph and it didn't even register when we went to re balance the wheel.

                            They all bent...not even sure what from. I didn't hit anything out of the norm. Pretty disappointing. And bbs won't sell replacement barrels.
