My new daily wagon

Recommended Posts

I got a new e46 wagon to replace Babara.

I'm super excited about it, she drives great, and I have some upgrade plans.

I bought it from Jon  @E30 325i Rag-Top, he was great to deal with, and has looking after the car really well - I'm still going through the stacks of service history paperwork.

The car is a 2004 e46 330D msport touring with six speed manual - here are some photos I took just a few minutes after I bought it;

It has a bunch of options like headlight washers, parking distance control, cruise control, factory bluetooth, rain sensing wipers, steering wheel controls, auto headlights etc.

Its awesome to drive and has heaps of power, but I have lots of plans for upgrades;

1. Electric fan mod

2. Change interior to black, or dye the existing grey one

3. Refurb the wheels and get 245/40/18 tyres on the back

4. Replace shocks for bilsteins

5. Chip tune

6. Black grills

7. Full detail and clean when the Auckland water restrictions are over

8. Upgrade speakers

9. Paintless dent removal on the little supermarket carpark dings

10. Fix broken fuel filler door

11. Upgrade towbar wiring

12. Polish all the lights

13. Strengthen the subframe mounts

14. Switch out the mph cluster for a kmph cluster

I'm not biased.  Orientblau is the best non-///M colour for e46 ?

i like the idea of all black interior like door cards centre console carpets etc but keep the grey seats. could be a bit different and much less work
