Bought an E46 wagon that's largely in reasonably good nick... except the wheels. 3/4 of the mags are chewed up. 2 have curbing just about the whole way round like the last owner was on some sort of touch-parking vendetta. Anyway, the spare wheel is good, so if someone as 1,2 or 3 Style 96s that aren't defaced, I'm interested. Failing that, i guess I could get the worst offenders fixed.

Bought one off a member here. Thread is here http://bimmersport.co.nz/topic/53768-wtb-e46-factory-cd-head-unit/#entry582400 There are a few different variants of the head unit, some pricier than others. Start by expecting to pay maybe $250-350 locally second hand depending on which, then shop around and see what you can get. The aux-in jack can be built yourself or added a number of different ways with OE and aftermarket kit options. I got an OE kit in from Pelican Parts as part of an order I was doing. Think it was $USD45.

Swapped E46 Business Tape out for Business CD with Aux-In jack in sunglasses tray.

Received from John and installed with an OEM aux plug in the sunglasses tray, much like this http://www.zhpmafia.com/forums/showthread.php?661-OEM-BMW-Auxiliary-Input&s=bcd4abd63fa04e0b39fcf22cf7df0de5. Sounds great. Looks the same. Thanks heaps.

Sounds cool, but a bit pricy.

Would like to buy an 2003+ CD head unit for my recently acquired E46 330i. Prefer to keep the stock look. Occasionally want to play CDs. Boot changer is a hassle to load and looks to be a bit unreliable, Also want to fit a aux in jack for background music on long trips. Have the BMW kit to fit this already. Would really like to buy a Dynavin N6 but have unconfirmed fears about the price of the unit and HVAC controls adapter required to fit it.

It's not an SA one with an M88 size hole under its bonnet where an E28 donor motor used to be is it Brent?

The 17x8s currently on your car fit perfectly at ET15. Higher numbers can get very close to the front struts. The previous 16x7 ET20s had 5mm clearance only.

Sold.

Just cleaned it. Trying to get motivated to vacuum...

Not all were taken by me, but yes only have an iPhone 4 so the web cam effect is easily achieved.

Just bought an NZ new 330i Sport Wagon. Any way to tell if this recall or others affecting it have already been done?

A couple from 2 years ago with its old wheels on it and one from a few weeks ago.
