T_Rogers' BMW 328ci

[AJRogers]

This is the first car I have ever actually "loved". I usually buy a car, mod it, keep it for a few months and get tired of it but this E46 is going on two years strong now! :dancingna

Modifications are slow, mainly because I got married, bought a house, and bought a 07 CX7 for the wife (I enjoy the 2.3l turbo more than she does :angel: )

Model of Vehicle?

Literally the day after, I had tint, 20%.

Obviously I had to start working on replacing the ugly stock orange lenses...


I got a real good deal on these tails (almost free) but they were sedan style, and my car is no four door!

So I threw those in the trash and went back to stock

Added a little bass for a while then got rid of it (started work in a bad part of town, plus I wanted trunk space back) I'm keeping an eye out for a good deal on some JL 8"s. I need my bass back.

Installed clear side markers, painted the reflectors, and installed smoked corners

I also added "xeno-match" bulbs in the lows and fogs from Vision Bulbs and eyelids which you can see in the second picture. I quickly got rid of those, I just didn't like the look.

Then bought some OEM tails about eight months ago

And here she sits today, with the latest addition of M3 power folding mirrors. I had them ready to install by the time spring rolled around and I had a warm day to work with.

This summer I will be paint matching my interior wood trim, turning it all jet black with a clear coat.

Looking down the road, I would eventually like to have a mild exhaust, lowered a tad, a small system so I can have bass and reserve trunk space, and possibly a CAI or some engine mods.

Thanks, I strive for the look to be "clean". So I like to hear that. I appreciate the comments.

Nice. Looks like you really take pride in it. Very clean car.
