Bro JAMES1980,

Already viewed the photos of your car and may I say that it's a COOL RIDE :top:
My bro also own an E46 similiar to yours! Black colour... here are my views:

1) The carbon fibre interior trim looks great! but since your car is black and I assume that the interior is black as well... you should have got a set of matt silver interior trim to bring out the contrast to your car! My bro's car also using carbon fibre trim but after a while, he thinks that the silver colour would make the interior more outstanding (but that's just him).

2) Like you, he is also using LED tail lamp... where did you get the taillamp from bro? If it's made in Taiwan (Eagle Eyes or something), only one year warranty if I'm not mistaken... and the LED will start to fail one by one not kidding bro, coz my brother is facing same problem after using slightly over a year. Since you have bought, you might as well use it till it fails! Then you might want to consider "Fredless" taillamp... he bought for around RM1300 (not sure on this though) and it comes with 3 years warranty! :top:

3) Since you are into mods, may I suggest that you enhance the performance of your car starting with lightweight pulley (10% increase in performance), anti-roll bar, GoodRidge stainless steel brake hose (RM500++), Air Filter (the groaning sound might just give you goosebumps )

All the best bro!!

P.S: Your E46 is on AC rims right???

 

[bimmerholic]

your engine bay is simply spot on bro!. ...very the ganas mods you have

Thank you so much for your advice. I am very new to BMW.
1. My carbon interior is in black colour. I also think that silver is very cool. ^^
2. Thx for ur advice about the LED lamp. I bought this 2nd hand BMW and i saw got insect in the tail lamp. Dunno why previous owner let the insect went into the tail lamp Thx pal for your recommendation. Terima kasih banyak banyak.
3.Walao ! i really need ur advice on the engine enhancement modz. I will quote ur advice and ask the shop what can they do for me ^^. 1000 times tq again.

Yes, AC Rims but i think must be replica. The rims come together with the car. 19 inches but i prefer smaller. I prefer 17-18 inches with thicker tyres bcoz the road condition from Sri Aman ( my home town) to other cities are quite bumpy. So many plaster ( Ko Yok ) ^^
