My 3.0

[alpwhite46]

Pretty new here... just wanted to say thanks for the info so far from this board!
I'm from Toronto Canada... (anyone else around from here?)

Here are a few of the E46 first

Orion V2 Angels
Blacked out Grills


Winter mode on CH's


Summer mode prior to the Z4



recently also got 35% tint all around done


And the wheels swapped with the Z4




And here is the Z - Its a 2003 with 93000 KM
Mods so far:
-Wind screen
-Shift Knob
-Sound generator mod
-Rims
-Have a stubby antenna but have yet to succeed at taking this one off
-Polished the hell out of the lights!
-Also need my front bumper re-done


























These last 4 are just me playing with the camera... they came out neat

You don't think 25 in the back is a bit much? or think it will be perfect?


I just realized my car has AUX input as well, thought that was stock, guess not

Love it!

Etobicoke I'm guessing?

Sound generator mod...I still don't understand this. (newb)

[alpwhite46]

Cool! and Thanks!

Great looking cars. I think the Z4 needs a debadging done....it would really clean the look up IMHO.

[alpwhite46]

Thanks! Hmmm really contemplating it.. both the 3.0 and the z4?
I've always liked the z4 badge though but it would indeed look really clean

Congrats on the nice Z! By the looks of your E46, the Z will be in good hands! Not to defer attention from your Z, but I will be "inheriting" my wife's '04 E46 when we get an X3 this fall. I really think your E46 looks great... very tasteful mods. I'd like to do the same to her car when I get my hands on it. A couple of questions, are you on a stock suspension? If not, what did you do? Secondly, would you mind sharing the wheel/tire size dimensions, including the offsets or if you used spacers. Thanks!!

Thank you.

Its the bmw sport suspension as my regular 2 rear springs cracked in half! (typical e46 problem)

The wheels are staggered, but my tires are the same thats why the back has a stretch.

Tires are 225/35/18 (i will double check for you)

rims are i'm pretty sure front 8 and rear 8.5

here is another from the front

25mm is just under 1". From the pictures, it looks like you have an inch to spare but measure it and see how close that gets you to the fender. LMs are great but that offset looks really anemic on your car.

What offset are your wheels? We could probably do it more exact that just me eyeballing it from a picture.

[alpwhite46]

If im not mistaken 35!
I can double check when i get out to see my car and measure as well

If it's 8.5 rear with 35 offset you have about 45.4mm to rim being flush with the fender.

Thanks for the information! Sorry for the delay in responding.

[SwissArmy]

I recognize this z4... :P

[alpwhite46]

Spacers are on!

Here is a before & after pic (in the after pic the car was not driven yet so suspension has not settled)

[SwissArmy]

Looks great!

[alpwhite46]

both lol. The less badges on a Z the better. They went a little overboard at the factory.

The car is coming along great OP. What size spacers did you end up getting?
