Shucks 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2007 (edited) Heya, I'm brand spanking new to this forum . I thought I'd post a couple of pictures of my BMW, I brought this after selling my EVO 5 and I love it, it's a totally different feel driving it! As far as I am aware it was stripped back to a bare shell and rebuilt by SD European using parts from an M5, I bought it in it's current glory though, I have a few plans for it in the pipeline like a new E46 3l straight 6 engine out of a 330i with bolt on supercharger and 6 speed gear box, I miss having decent power but I don't want the jerky powerband of a turbo vehicle again so i heard this is the way to go, getting the kit tidied up, new paint and new wheels, the wheels will be on soon but the rest is depends on when I save the money hehe.

Will Yeah I'm not the biggest fan of the wheels myself that's why they're going to be the first thing I change, they're curbed, a pain in the bum to clean, those aren't centre caps they're just stickers I stuck on to cover up the manky hole and the wheels have really bad casting marks all through them In saying this no-one will proberbly like the wheels i'm going to put on it as they're very modern and big, my current wheels are 19" and the new ones are 20", my work has just got in some new KMC wheels which I want to put on it to show off the wheels as a bit of advertising for the company: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nz320i 0 Report post Posted January 13, 2007 (edited) Hey just noticed, that if your a really fussy person, the badges on the back ( M and the 528i ) are on the wrong way round. Should look good on those new wheels Edited January 13, 2007 by nz320i Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Should look good on those new wheels Yeah That's one badass e28..... I like your new wheels too. It's gonna be so stauch when you've finished your conversion...... What supercharger system will you be going with may I ask?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shucks 0 Report post Posted January 13, 2007 ooooh thanks for the tip on the badges, I'd never have picked that up, I'll get them swapped over when it gets painted - whenever that is hehe I'm not sure about the supercharger yet, I've only just sort of started looking into it. I'm not sure weather to run a bolt on kit or a custom set up, do you have any recommendations? I see you can get some pretty impressive bolt on kits from the UK?

Hmm yeah you could probably get away with a off the shelf bolt on setup as the e28 has a bigger engine bay. You may run into some clearance issues but probably won't be fark all to sort.

You may run into some clearance issues but probably won't be fark all to sort. Dinan or Active Autowerk in the states are probably who I'd use, Easily take the E46 330 to power levels exceeding an M3. It'll be a 5 figure job though =] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
