For sure! I was talking to him on Instagram and we were talking about setting something up in the future and get all the wagon owners together.
323i Touring (Selena)
Hey Guys! Here's my E46 323i Wagon (2000)! She's been in the family since around 2003 with 49,000 miles on the ODO when my parents purchased it for $19,000USD. It has been sitting since 2014, drove probably couple times in 2016. But it's been sitting for quite a bit. (This is an issue when your dad has 7 cars in the driveway). I'm beyond thrilled that it has been passed down to me. I grew up in the back seat. I always loved the E46 chassis, but specifically the touring. Currently has 119,200 miles. Everything is original. There's quite a bit of work that needs to be done. Already dumped 1,500 miles since late August. I will be putting her in storage for winter, living in Upstate New York is brutal on vehicles during Winter. Anyway here is the current projects and future project!
Some Info:
Paint is quite rough, there is a couple dent's on the roof from an outside garage collapsing on it one winter, pretty deep scratches around the rear and front.
Current Repair List:
- Replace Brake Light Switch
- Replace Struts/Springs
- Fluid Flush on Everything
Completed Repairs:
- Change Front Right Corner Light Socket (it got corroded)
Future Plans:
- Double Din Radio

- Bit of bodywork to do, might need a good paint correction and some spots resprayed, including some surface rust to deal with.
- Give the interior a good clean, including leather seats.
- Change Corner Lenses, Side Markers, Rear Tail Lights to Euro Spec
- E46 Sport Steering Wheel, Current looks outdated.
- New set of wheels, current ones are a bit curbed rashed, and I never really them.
- replace front bumper with MTech 1 or 2 Front Bumper.
- Coilovers

Interesting, I was not aware. Thank you George, I'll remove that off the list.

Can't catch a break, ha! Voltage seems perfectly fine after drive home, and even before start up. Checked all grounds, and seemed fine.

Sound clip with my current setup Borla Catback + Racing Dynamic Headers. Quite a tasteful setup, and great to daily tbh.

Thankfully, my girlfriend has a spare alternator from her other E46 so ill throw that on and see if that fixes it. Might as-well try it. My alternator is 21 years old as-well, so it definitely had a good life.
