Yes, it looks rather chavvy now, but having the standard parts is a bonus.

I'll take a look at the ad, thanks.

It's been lowered a bit and black grills.. All done myself with a massive degree of care as a car enthusiast.. The angel eyes clip in place and are wired with a proper purpose built wiring harness so can be easily removed as I am aware these get mixed opinions.. Some love them some hate them.. I'm currently sitting somewhere in the middle of the camp..

All of the above are fairly common popular modifications in the e46 world.. Not exactly a big wing and ripspeed alloys or a straight through chav cannon! Nothing from halfords has touched this car..! Haha! It has full bmw history and long term low owners with motorway miles being a big part of it's actually quite low mileage.

It's just had a full 2 day paint correction by a professional detailer at quite a cost even if it was 'mates rates!'

Hardly chav-tastic!

If I sound offended I'm not as it's your opinion and I'd welcome an offer from you and would gladly remove/swap bits around if required to suit your taste

...but nobody likes their car (especially an extremely picky enthusiast) being referred to as sub-human Jeremy Kyle scumbag style!

Do you have all the standard bits that can be fitted to de-chav it?

lol. True though. Birmingham spec innit.

Car looks lovely underneath the usual e46zone mods mind!!

Lol, apologies for the offence caused.

It's this picture that does it for me though. Compared with

Do you see? It's hardly riding high standard, infact it looks as though it's already on springs in the second pic? I had mine on Eibach Sportlines, they sat excellent IMO. Yours looks too low, in a broken sense. The black kidney grilles I personally do prefer over the chrome (especially on a black car) but the halos, and LED fogs, are a BIG no no. It's a shame because without the lows and the LED lights its a very, very nice looking OEM 330ci. The rear lights confused me though, I saw 4k for a 100k facelift presuming it was a bit newer/with the 6 speed box, hence the interest. ​

Out of interest, apologies if you've said this and I've missed it, but what tyres are you using on it?

 

[DanielJames]

Can I ask what the oil usage is like too, and how it is lowered (is it on springs or coilovers?)

Thanks

 

[rob_sri]

No the LEDs are the eagle eye replacements the older ones suffered the usual sealing issues

Oil usage is spot on, it's had a recent service and so far I haven't had to touch it that was probably a thousand miles ago I tend to check it weekly or there abouts..

Bulbs are a 5 minute switch around.. And I can swap the coilovers in about half a day to the msport oem

It all is down to personal preference as I said I don't mind moving things about for a buyer.. To me the ride height is spot on.. Perfectly level.. Doesn't look broken IMO

FK coilovers Daniel: http://www.e46zone.com/forum/topic/43265-rob-sris-black-330ci-sport/

Just needs raising back up to -20mm less than standard and it'll look far better!!

Seats look to have electric lumbar which is a nice option, although weird not to combine that with bum heaters.

 

[rob_sri]

They do indeed quite correct sir Dave! Memory/lumbar etc but no bum warmers

 

[DanielJames]

It does have the chance look bloody nice though. Hmmm.

Fancy an Integra?

Sorry pal - Nice cars but not to my taste
