nice e46, no hating here. and breyton magics too huh?
there's just sooo much more you can do to an e46 than a w210.
any reason you sold your e? wanted a coupe? wanted something that actually handles?
good choice either way man

It was one of my favorite cars.Plus, one thing that always bothered me about this car was the grill. It's size and boxyness always made me cringe lol. After 2000, they fixed it though.

I have a bmw now, and don't have much experience with it thus far, but I still think mercedes are more reliable lol. I was on original tranny, original engine, original radiator, ball joints, and much more on my mercedes. I replaced few parts and it was at 170k miles. Which is another reason why i sold it, i wasn't sure how much longer it would last lol.

is that a 325Ci? hopefully u got a manual, cuz 325s are slooooooooooooow. great handling though. and you get 30MPG on hwy 
but seriously, you should've gotten a E46 M3, those are pretty cheap now.

and m3= higher insurance, harder to maintain, and double the price lol. So they may be going down in price, but am I willing to pay twice as much? I bought this car for 12,000 including tax. I can maybe get a decent m3 (if i'm lucky) for 22k+ tax 0.0

that's a good price. how many miles?
btw, your bimmer looks like it's been dropped already & those are 19" breytons right? Breytons are heavy as F##K, and those are so-so looking.. it's your car, but if you got lightweight 17 or 18s for your 325ci, she'll drive like a new car.
goodluck!

yeah, it's dropped on eibach springs and 19 inch breytons like you said. I do like the way they look, but yes, they are heavy. I really don't think changing the rims will make that much of a difference speed wise. I mean, it may make the difference of how much? To me, rim weight is when you are going for precision. As in if you want a car to go fast, you will make everything carbon fiber, and with EVERYTHING added together, there is a difference. Do you know what I mean? Like, even if each rim weighed 20 pounds MORE than another rim, that would be an extra 100 pounds on the vehicle, which isn't even a passenger. Is that worth spending another $800+? Catch my drift lol?
I may change out the rims later, but it will be a while since the tires are new. I'll probably change them to 18 inch hammans or csl rims. Although, i think the breyton ones look nicer then both, just my opinion though.
