E46 330ci project/progress - Coilovers on, New Rimz inside

[7057sam]

Good good

You gotTe37 look stunning

how low have got the coilovers? Much space in the arches for major lows?

[Eeyore]

It will sounds epic with a decent exhaust.

[Midnightclub]

Coilovers aren't very low at the moment, got another 3.5" worth of thread left yet so it can go plenty lower. Arches may need a bit of work depending on how wide the wheels are, camber will help with that though

It should do sam, if it's anything like what i've heard it'll be awesome

Looks shite

[Midnightclub]

Got bored last weekend and decided to black mask the headlights as they looked gash before..

I've had a sport bumper for a while but the paint condition is awful and it needs a respray.. just need to find the time/some one cheap to paint it.. then the front end will look 100% better.

Also managed to finally find my awful vacuum leak, replaced an intake boot and it drives substantially better now. Although still need to fix my rocker cover gasket and give it a decent full service.

[devils_fuel]

I read the preview and thought you got bored and uploaded a video of doughnuts and 11's

[Midnightclub]

Maybe when i've got some cheaper rubber on the rear.. but not until then lol!

[Midnightclub]

New rims, BBS CH (reps) 18x8J front, 18x9J rear in hyper silver, look amazing in the flesh.

[Tom]

Yes they look amazing!!

[Midnightclub]

Cheers tom I'll add some more pics once they're on the car

[Tom]

How long til they're on? You gotta sort rubber and all first?

[Midnightclub]

Depends on how impatient I am really.. I'm on lates all this week so providing I could find somewhere to swap the tyres they could be on tomorrow.. if not then it'll be the weekend I imagine..

Here's what it should look like

[Tom]

Oh wow that looks nice!

[Midnightclub]

Yeah hopefully it'll look pretty similar

I'll aim to get a 'ducktail' rear spolier for it at some point to to replace the stock spoiler as i reckon they look epic

[devils_fuel]

Nice jewellery mate, that will add some bling to the Beemer

[Midnightclub]

Cheers chris

Indeed, it's starting to get there now, just a few more bits til it's 'perfect'

[Curt]

Awesome do like CHs.

[devils_fuel]

just a few more bits til it's 'perfect'

just make sure it is or the bank manager will hate you

[Midnightclub]

Awesome do like CHs.

Cheers Curt Got a lot of love for them, eventually i would like some volks/rotas but i'm more than happy with these

just make sure it is or the bank manager will hate you

I refuse to add up what I've spent since I've bought it tbh :S lol

[tenwierdufos]

Posh wheelings!

[Scott]

Looks like a winner buddy, they'll look very smart

[Midnightclub]

Cheers dudes

Hopefully aim to have them on tomorrow morning

Opened up the last box and found they included some free BBS badges for the caps, looks much better than the chrome!

[Curt]

Were they from BM Autosport?

[Midnightclub]

Nah mate, they were from an eBay shop, shakrim motors, they've got a place called rims n rubber or something like that

[Curt]

Ah, fair enough. Only wondered as I've had 2 sets of wheels from them and they're really good.

[Midnightclub]

Ah fair enough mate, these look spot on to be fair, was expecting them to weigh the same as the moon being reps but they're actually fairly light, I'd say lighter than the stock BMW wheels

[mcvite]

Stunning looking 330 ci you have there mate,really nice looking

[Midnightclub]

Thanks mate appreciate the kind comments

[Midnightclub]

Filthy but got a photo just after they got fitted.. need to roll the arches and decimated a front tyre scrubbing on the coilover.. 2 new tyres later and its fine on the new wheels with the different offset..
