  1. E46 Touring
    Hello, recently I spotted a pre-facelift e46 touring with a roof spoiler on it, asked the fella what it was and he said Maxton Design, also had a facelift hood with the slightly nicer kidneys, thought it looked cool. I don't yet know if I want to do this or not, but I was wondering, does the...

    This is my 2004 325xi swapped to a 330i with a zf 5 speed. I bought it without doing all my research and broke my rule of not buying other people's projects.

Did an oil change and it didn’t burn/leak a drop for 6000 kms until yesterday when it started happening again. I’m not certain but my gut says it has something to do with my catch...

    Hello! THIS IS NOT A SALES PITCH!! My beloved 2001 325xi 5spd Manual met its unfortunate demise due to an electrical fire that started in the fuse box. I want to know if there is anyone who would be interested in any parts off of it before it's turned into a block of metal. The fire didn't...

    So where do I start? I recently purchased a BMW e46 touring 2001 325i. I knew the car had problems obv if it's second-hand. Anyways, when i purchased the car I noticed it took like 10 - 15 tries to start, dont get me wrong here, it will start then idle for like 5 sec then die. So I thought...

I also have an E46 touring and E46 Cabrio in my possession, so I was wondering if those styling 63 wheels will fit any of my E46? I have...

  14. E46 Touring
    The inspiration: I've seen a lot of M3 touring conversions on Instagram and thought something like that would be a fun learning project and would keep me busy. I'm pretty bad with these things and it's probably going to be more stream of consciousness, but I wanted to share & document the work...

When it's retracted you can clearly see the left edge is lower than the right, and when it's extended you can clearly see more tension on the right edge while the left...
