Nice ride bro, just a suggestion, why not consider lighting upgrade since halogen + reflector may not be the best solution.. You could do with some HID + projector for safer drive at night. HIDs are more efficient too since 35Wx2 has better output already than 50Wx2 halogen, that equates to 30% energy saving. Cheers.

i thought about it before actually. ok let me check out the cost of those. thanks for the suggestion!
The sky was clear and beautiful as I walked out of my workplace yesterday evening. As I walked towards my car, I thought to myself "....what a beautyl she really is..."
So I whipped out my trusty Samsung and snapped a few pictures.
Love the way the cars looks in the evening sun!

Back 3/4, just love the style 68 rims. Retro look. Almost look like those from a 1972 Ford Cortina!

Bro initial M,
This video was what inspired me and pushed me to finally succummed to my E46 purchase.
I was considering between E90 and E46. At the end, E46 is what my heart really wanted (and wallet could afford).

Anyway, i took my ride to KL Auto for Autofoam treatment. Basically injecting the chassis with foam to strengthen it. Also helps sound proofing. Desmond and his team did require more time for E46s, as they need extra foaming on the rear chassis. But it was all done in 2 hours. This is my 5th car i have let Desmond and his team foam over the years. Costs a bunch, but I trust him and his work.
As expected, car handles better and feels more solid now. There is also an extra level of precision to the steering, as if someone sent my 'surgeon knife' steering to sharpen. Bump-thump and sound levels across washboard surfaces and expansion joints are dealt with in a decisive, authoritative and solid thumb.
Foam will take a few days to fully cure and harden. So it will get even better today and tomorrow.
I also let KL Auto do all my audio works, most recently transplanting my Sound Magus amplifier and Bazooka from my previous ride into the E46. Sound proofed the bootlid to make the boot more solid so that my Bazooka can bounce the bass off a more solid surface for better defined and balanced base. My car is fully done now. Happy.
Lovin my ride more and more.

Your car need M side mirror bro.
By the way heard a lot of good thing on autofoam but worry any side effect in long term such as rust. Some say no need as they said BMW redy solid. Hope to do it on my E60 to improve the solidness. Mind PM me the cost for E60?

bro initial M,
I have done it on 5 cars over the years. None had any problems. As for solidness, you are right that BMW is already so solid. The effect is much more obvious when applied to my previous 2005 Camry and 2011 Sonatas than my E46. This speaks volumes about our car's in built solidity. The foam treatment costs RM1180 for my car. Cost a bit more than similar sized car due to extra foaming needed on the rear chassis. You may call Desmond for a quote. He is active in Autoworld forum.
Anyway there are 2 things COMPULSARY for all my cars - Autofoam (KL Auto) and Paint Glass Treatment (Sierraglow). All done to my E46 already. :burnout:
