Picked it up for 11,500 over in West Palm Beach. Love it so far. Rides so smooth, except when driving back on US80 where they are doing road work:mad. Has 106k miles on the car and motor, I believe this is the ZPP model (premium). Previous owner didn't take much time and consideration into the car. It was dirty inside and out, and the engine bay had dirt and leafs in it. At least he took it to the dealer to get serviced at the right time. I will post some pics in a few, gotta go get some batteries. Hopefully I will have it boosted soon..........

Did you find this car on Autotrader? I think I saw one just like it during my search. Very nice. Question: Are the wheel nuts suppose to rust?

now its time for a drop, and smoked/clears :)

sick ride bro..... welcome:buttrock


just a few small things you can get started on doing to it


smoked corners, side markers, and LED tails would be nice

change out the wood interior, i personally think it's ugly :( i just recently did mine

take the wheels off and paint those rusty calipers, it takes all of about 5 minutes to do that and it changes the look of the wheels instantaneously

and just a tip for the bumper molding cause its looking a little faded.... take some no rub tire shine and spray it on to the bumpers..... leave it for about 5 minutes and then make sure you wipe off the excess so that it doesnt drip onto the paint and wipe it off of your paint as well, cause it'll get dirty real quick...... it'll make it shine like a new penny!!!

but other than that LOVIN the ride mane!:redspot

Nice ride, I'd say clears for sure but not sure on the R/C LED's not a big fan of those on sedans. I like the R/C/R a lot better. Paint the calipers however it won't take you 5 minutes. Think removing wheels, brushing calipers with wire brush, removing rattle clip, prep and paint.

beautiful car! congrats and welcome!

i didnt mean the 5 minutes literal..... i was just wanting to say that its a super easy job:shifty

Congrats! Good looking car! Welcome to the forum.

congrats, welcome to the obsession!

Very nice indeed.

No, I found the car on Craigslist.org in the Miami area. I don't think they are supposed to rust, but a cheap fix if that. I was deffinately planning a drop, just no sure how much. I like the idea of clear corners, but I don't know what I am gonna do with the rear lights. What options do I have with the rear lights and the side markers????

Time for drop, debadge, black roundels, black grill, clear corners/sidemarkers/tailights :)

B&W roundels = sacrilege.

Rims would ad a nice touch as well :)

Still looking for the right wheel, I am looking for something that will have a staggered look with a nice size lip in the back........ possibly some 19's

No no no to 19's most 19'' wheels look ghetto on a 3 series(but not all) jsut try to find a set of like 18's staggered with a nice lip i don't know your budget but if your on a low budget i would like the ASA AR1's or 2's i can't remember.....Whicher one is black or do the Beyern Mesh wheels would look good as well.

I agree, in most cases 18" is the largest that looks good on an e46.

Just watch....people will be all over you and I for saying that....last time I said it, all the 19" fanboys came out of the woodwork to defend their bling.

19"s are not ghetto whats ghetto is your damn jk(did you get any in-n-out while you where out here) However, i do like 19" :)

:rofl

Yeah, I got me some In-n-Out burger...mmmmmmmm.....good stuff.

And for the record, your rims are hot and IIRC, they are 19"....just saying that most of them look a little too big, not all.

oh i agree with some 19" are like no. mine are 18" cant afford 200+ a piece for a single tire. 800+ for a set of new tires no thank you.

I love my 16" :shifty

Wow, got shut down on that idea lol. I guess 18's would be nice, after I do the drop and everything. Just love the way 19's look on it though.........

you can't talk about 19s on this forum of small wheel lovers. IMO 19s are the perfect size for E46s.

So I decided I will probably be going with the 18" CSL reps, they look cool and a decent price.
