[Totti.]

Looks very nice!

 

[Rob]

Very tidy indeed.

 

[DanielJames]

Epic.

Although my respect for you would have tripled if I didn't see the bit about halos and LED foglights..

 

[ch!ppen]

Looks very nice! Still miss mine

 

[rob_sri]

Haha cheers guys

the LEDs that seems to be very much a marmite mod, im unsold myself on it but easy to do/undo and i think it updates the look of it.. Was planning to do an xenon conversion too which would look much better then as everything matches with a nice white light

 

[banderson]

Looking nice mate! Love black when it's clean! Lol
i don't suppose you was in Norfolk earlier as vaguely remember seeing a black e46 with black kidney grilles.

 

[rob_sri]

Cheers mate haha not me! I live in birmingham!

 

[Sash]

Very nice, black is stunning when clean and swirl free but a complete mare to keep that way if it's your daily...

 

[Edges]

Have I seen this around bruntingthorpe air field a few times lately? Or one very similar! Looks really nice and makes me miss my Clubsport!!!

yes this is the daily... although looking to maybe swap it for another 182 (its in the cars for sale section atm).. I do miss my old 182 now that im back to near enough full health! Its not too bad to keep tbf as long as its washed properly (2 bucket method etc usually jet washed down first too -snow foam) the beems have very solid paint! it took detail UK 2 days to correct as its so tough so should keep well I think/hope! the clio did anyway!

Yes!! do it!! Get another BG. I loved your old one

 

[Eddie.]

Very very nice, apart from the lights.

My mate has one, do very much like them tbh.

 

[Reev]

Take it easy on the vignetting.

The car looks superb though, I've got a lot of love for a tidy E46.

cheers mate, I miss my old 182.. wasnt done with the little pocket rocket uncomfortable rattly tinbox of fun! we'll see what comes along but if the right 182 crops up id swap/px in a heartbeat! I still have my old cams etc too so would be tempted for some piper regrinds in there and save for itbs straight away this time.

thanks bud! very mixed responses over the lights.. they definitely look better in person but they are a definiate love it/hate it!

fair comment! I do get a bit carried away.. not the best photos ive ever produced but then again im certainly no pro with a camera haha cheers mate

it is in really good condition for the age! I spent a good long while looking at e46s and this just jumped out at me as a good example and it sure scrubs up well!!

 

[Stu_350z]

Looking good man...can I ask how much they charged as I'm local to you

 

[Stu.]

That looks bloody brilliant!

 

[rob_sri]

I can't say - its a friends business so I got quite substantial discount but however he is absolutely awesome at what he does! give him a bell.. tell him I recommended him 07540 049301

Ok cheers

Where is he based?

 

[rob_sri]

Not far from the Renault garage.. Up on that industrial estate

 

[Lawro]

James back from his travels now? Looks spot on that mate!

 

[rob_sri]

Yeah he's been back a while now, cheers pal

 

[Filippo]

Jesus! This is very fooking tempting. Always wanted one and such a nice example.

 

[rob_sri]

aha all these comments are making me want to keep hold of it...!! I think it would sit perfect with some 15mm spacers on the MV's too

 

[rollerdan]

Thats stunning :0 off to look at these now whats insurance like matey?

 

[rob_sri]

not too different to the 182 tbh pal! I got screwed with my insurance tbf due to the crash I cant change insurers whilst the claim is still going through so mines ALOT as they dont have to be competitive lol

get a few quotes on go compare i think you'll be surprised!

 

[rob_sri]

best thing about these aside from being stupidly smooth and comfortable is they actually return half decent MPG for a 3.0 straight six!!

 

[Edges]

I got £60 refund on insurance going from 330ci Clubsport to my 182.. And mpg... 25 average if I was lucky. What's yours doing rob?

 

[Reko]

My old one did 31mpg average, very impressed Parts/servicing costs were too much for my little wage packet so chopped in it for the 182

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

Looks tidy Rob. Nice and low that!

​Spacers would sort her right out.

 

[C.J]

I like it. Looks smart.

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

Might have some 12mm bimecc spacers going if I don't fit them to my touring

 

[Ash.]

I am not a BMW fan but that look ace really like that. Looks perfect.

Mines hitting 30ish at the moment ..! Not too shabby!

 

[rob_sri]

gahhh guess who got looking at supras... if someone wants to offer me 4k for this they'll have a deal haha!

 

[DanielJames]

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