wat mirrors are those, those are hUGE lolll

newais nice ride, did you mold in the ducts?

[Slke46]

Very nice... its good to see another Sedan looking like that. :thumbsup:

[Bartacus]

Yessir, total mold job for the ducts. I LOVE my mirrors. No blind spots AT ALL on either side of my car. :thumbsup: Of course, the image is smaller, but until I go blind it will do nicely. :) I got em from a group buy on E46Fanatics (I think the dudes name was Ken Su). The quality wasn't great (the mirror guts were REALLY loose when the shop first installed them, but the guys just wrapped the inside guts with duct tape and stiffened em right up).

Nice ride.

[audiophilia]

looking good, Bart....:thumbsup:

[christyles]

Another sedan... woot

Looks good Bart. Problem with replica m3 mirrors for sedan is they always be a little bigger. I have the same problem with mine hence they haven't been installed. The "guts" are everywhere and requires more work than just some plug n' play. Eventually I'll get around to it.

Keep er' moddin'.

Looks good.. I'd cover up the rear valence openings with black mesh though..

Bart, debadge & paint them trim mouldings. I think everything will flow even better.

[Bartacus]

Debadge?!?! And lose my 320i pride?!? :) As soon as the snow melts next year, those side skirts are being replaced with Hamann competition replicas. I'm also considering something a bit wild since I need the hood repainted (thinking about painting the middle of the hood black, like a big thick stripe). The body molding I'm not sure about. I considered painting it, but it seems most people that paint the trim have peeling problems. I drive year round, so I dunno if painted trim is a wise move. I know it would LOOK good, but it would have to be durable.

Also I did have mesh on the rear, but my exhaust melted it on one side. And since I drive year round, it was getting all clogged up with snow and crap, so I ditched it. At one point I was thinking about some kinda steel mesh (like Umnitzas Racemesh), but I just can't spare the change now.

BartHow about a GTR hood. str8pimp The trim won't peel if you get it done right at the right shop.

[Bartacus]

GTR hood = $$$$. And I drive a 320i. Do the math. :D How I WISH I could afford a new hood. Hell, even an M3 replica hood would be nice. I bought a house in December of last year and I've been cashtrated ever since. Plus I need new 18" rubber next year in addition to painting the hood, front bumper, and side skirts. I'm gonna be poor forever. :crying: I bought Hankook 18" tires this summer and they are SO bad that I won't run another summer with em. Downright DANGEROUS tires, even on dry roads, yet they're marketed as all-season. That little purchase is gonna KILL me next year unless I can find decent 235/40/18 rubber for a WICKED price.

18's? Screw it. Get 19's. Rent out part of your house for additional income for mod money. Sell the wife too. :D

Sounds like you got your mod plan all lined up.

[shimajer]

i say u paint ur moldings, and trunk molding, then ur car will b hot! but its fabulous as is right noww

[Bartacus]

I'll NEVER go 19. 18 ruins the ride quality enough compared to stock, and I love to drive FAR too much to let looks outweigh practicality and road feel. Plus the rubber is just too much money. I don't get it, ya get LESS rubber and it costs TWICE as much. I'm too practical to "pimp my ride". :)

If I had a wife, I'd sell her for mods in a heartbeat. :D Thats why I'm poor. My car is paid off, but now I have a $200K mortgage and I'm still single. Single income + $1500 a month mortgage = a sexless and poor Bart. :D I need a sugar momma FAST!!

I like the feel of 19's on the road. So smooth, well... on newly paved or good condition roads anywasy. Not in Toronto. I don't get that either. Less rubber is more money. Kinda like a fish fillet. More expensive than fish with bones. There's still less fish.

[Bartacus]

Really? I rarely see ANY modded bimmers up here. I know of a few (Brandon_Otawa and Aziz), but not many more. All I see is stock stock stock. Its sickening. :)
