I could try and experiment with various lights and wheels perhaps

Keep the wheels. They are classic BMW style #68 silver. Your work, especially on the underside, was inspiring. Beautiful job.

Next video🤞

Thank you. Cars this age are never perfect but i try and make them as good as possible on the budget i have. I will sell it one day but i still have a few restoration projects on it, and a bunch of different tests i would like to do first. Then hopefully i will have the money for a e36 or e39 so i wont have to sell it to fund the next project And thank you for watching and the kind worss. Takes an enthusiast to know i i see😃

Thank you. I really feel they make the car look sharper👌

Thank you. Im happy to have someone to share it with.

Thank you sir

Thank you. Yeah its not for everyone thats for sure

Id say peak non-m 3series at least

@@OEMplusRESTO100% peak bmw generation

The E46 model is one of the best cars that BMW built! Since 2005 BMW goes down in every aspects, especiality in quality!

Thank you. Silver wheels really do look good on black cars. Next video will have some 18” silver wheels installed

Thank you for noticing and the support. That is very much appreciated. Its what makes it fun. To have likeminded people to share it with❤️

Lol thats a good point.

Thank you so much🙏

Thank you. Im really tempted to buy the 135’s and do some testing. Those wheels look even better imo but being 18” they are alot heavier too

Next video i might have some for testing staggered/square/wheelweight-vs-acceleration etc.

And thank you:)

Thank you

Thanks. I agree. I likes the gunmetal ones but the silver just pop

Tak ven

Thank you. Its certainly different. But no matter what sound i chose there will be for and against:)

@OEMplusRESTO some stock side markers would open it even more in my opinion. I went for orange ones with the facelift inner boot reflectors. Looks very clean. I'll send photos

Im gonna experiment with wheels and tires (staggered vs square vs weight etc) for the next video. I only meed to find some good 18” which wont ruin me too much lol

Yes. A gti. The kids love it. Drives like a go cart

yeah its not for everyone. but chopin is literally what made me and this is my take on him. I appreciate the honesty though bro

Thank you. I agree. I more or less only drive it during summer:-)

I rarely drive it much. I have done maybe 1-2k km since the overhaul but so far so good. I think there are better products out there though. The hmmerite is just sold everywhere adm reasonably cheap too.

And thank you😎

Thanks. But wouldnt the 18” m3 sit too far out? Ive been looking into doing whatever experiments i can with the wheels i have but a set og 18” to test agains would make it alot better

@@OEMplusRESTO many of my friends have normal e46 coupe and have the 18inch wheels on them the m3 ones i dont remeber the tire sizes tho i think 225/40/18 and 245/40/18 basically you put one size smaller tire in the back to not to rub but you can also roll the fenders inside and it looks amazing without any issues at all

@wickedhorror01 interesting. Thanks for the tip

Depends. Id do a leakdown test to ser if the engine is good first. Overheated m54’s have a tendency to pull the theresas for the head bolts

Thank you. That means alot to me. Always nice when a fellow e46 enjoyer appreciates the work. Sapphire black yes. Love the color. Was searching for your wheels recently but didnt manage to find them i good shape at a price i could afford sadly. I bought the bmw one yes. Quite pricy for what it id

@@OEMplusRESTO I thought so. No knock offs then. It is what it is. New emblem, new original shift knob and I ll touch up the leather on the steering wheel with a Ledermax 2 stage repair kit - it will be as good as new then. Got the Alcantara interior with "carbon fibre" elements. Your interior option and mine are the best looking options the car ever had :-). Exhaust system wont get touched after watching your vids. Everything that sounds good is illegal in germany - everything else is just too pricey for to little effect it seems - hello Eisenmann. Oh well - what ever. Good luck on finding those wheels eventually - you are right about the looks department. 18's are better for show - 19's are too big - 17's should ride best.

@Feuerbasis completely agree with all. Especially the eisenmann. Id love to see your car. Can you hit me up om instagram if you want to show it? It sounds like a very rare combo you have

Youre right. Sorry. Not my native language.

​@@OEMplusRESTOno Problem. Excellent Video. Keep em coming...

Sadly no

@OEMplusRESTO in the United States it's called the zhp but I learned in other countries it's called clubsport so the shifter and black Headliners aftermarket? And is it a 5 speed or 6 speed. I've been watching a lot of your videos and doing a lot of the same modifications

@daniel27560 ​​⁠thank you. The previous owner installed a facelift 6speed and a 3.38 diff too. Also, the interior is from an m3. I bought it as quick as i possible when it popped up on fb marketplace almost 2 years ago by now. What mods have you done?

@OEMplusRESTO catless headers, cold air intake polyurethane control arms bushings a 3.42 diff with a raceing diffs locker and godspeed lowering springs I had coilovers but they were too stiff. I need to do a dual Vanoss rebuild that's next for it

@@daniel27560 Clubsport is a UK only spec(i think it might have been in other european countries too but its very very rare), its not the same as a ZHP. The clubsport is just a 330i with slight weight reduction(this being the sound deadening), a unique spoiler, wheels and front splitter(these are only found on clubsport cars). ZHP is only a US spec, but equivalent ones in europe would just be the "m sport" at least design wise. ZHP has some engine upgrades to give it more hp than a regular 330. However european 330is have more HP than american ones from factory, 225 (or 228?) vs 231 but the ZHP is upgraded to 235 hp.

Danke schön nakbar(ich bin danen)

Which one👀

​@@OEMplusRESTOyou know you car You can choose by your self❤❤❤the best one for it

These cars have perfect body lines and silhouette without a spoiler

Thanks. I feel so too. Makes the car(Black) pop imo
