So I needed a daily driver, it seems everything I try to keep and drive I end up modifying to the point of absurdity. I picked up this super minty clean one owner gem with 202k miles on it for $2500. It's a 2001 BMW 325i Touring 5SPEED manual. Car was SPOTLESS and looked like it had 30k on it. Drove around with it bone stock for a while, great comfy car, ice cold AC. Then the obnoxious bug bit me, and the following happened. Unfortunately I don't have pics of the car in stock trim.


I picked up some 19" Varrstoens, 19x9.5+24ish, 19x11+25 in the back

No wagon love?

idk if it's just me.... but these pictures are not showing up.




edit.... now i see why, because you're linking pics off douche40atlanta........... come on man........................

[Manny Naber]

Sorry guys...didn't know it wouldn't work. It showed up fine for me. I'll fix

[D3UC3S]

LOL $50 on stickers.... You got more dollars than sense....lol get it?

[Manny Naber]

Ya. I get it. Funny.

[quickdodge®]

No wagon love?

Nope. Not with those mods, sir.

[Manny Naber]

Haha. Ok we got a purist here

[quickdodge®]

A purist, if you're referring to me, maybe so. My opinion (on what I can see) has nothing to do with purity, though.

[C230K]

For someone who claims to have or had a list of nice cars listed below and to put ebay coils on a beamer, something is not right

[D3UC3S]

Or he sunk all his money into those cars and didn't wanna waste money on his daily......

But then dropped $50 on stickers....my arguement is invalid

[Manny Naber]

Lol the $50 on stickers was just a funny reference towards it being a power mod. I have quite the collection of stickers from parts etc.

The list of vehicles are CURRENT. As someone stated I did not care to spend a penny more than necessary,this was my initial intentions. And the fact that I can just pick a car to do this too if I wanted too on a weekly bases, should clear all fishiness you speak of.


Just don't hate, it's not a good look. Love hearing opinions, but hating on it why? Tons of people like it, a lot don't. But for under 5k total, it got me 30mpg all the way to FormulaD, gotta give some credit.

[Manny Naber]

I have ~200k in the current vehicles, I'm not eating Top Ramen. This was fun to do. I enjoy it. It's different and love the cargo room.

[C230K]

No hate here, I just wouldn't put ebay parts of a fine piece of German machinery is all and I can only see the last two pics for some reason

[quickdodge®]

Misusing the word "hate" doesn't help your debate, my friend.


It's different and love the cargo room.

Again, not being able to see but only two of your pics, I can only go by those, but what you've done to the car is far, far from different.

[Manny Naber]

The car itself is different. It really is. Rides surprisingly well too.

[D3UC3S]

I'm not being serious when I speak on your sticker usage...

Wasn't saying you we're broke now. Just saying that you sunk a bunch of money in some nice rides, no need to do that to a daily beater. I was on your side.

[quickdodge®]

The car itself is different. It really is. Rides surprisingly well too.

I'm really not trying to argue with, man, but I do see this car about a hundred times a day. And that's just in stock form. With yours, and I'm not trying to be mean about it, it looks pretty much like every other modded (in similar fashion) Bimmer. I don't see a difference at all.

[Manny Naber]

I don't know I just never see wagons anywhere really at all in general.

[quickdodge®]

I don't know I just never see wagons anywhere really at all in general.

Ahhhh. Didn't realize it was a wagon. The only pics we can see are the last two. The wagon part, I can agree with as far as not many out there, but the modifications done are a dime a dozen. But you gotta do you no matter. I'm just the farthest from being a fan of stretched tires with the poking wheels and stickers all over a car. It does cheapen the look of the BMW.

I agree on all accounts. Only being able to see the last two pics I cant really comment. BMWs are everywhere.....and yes wagons are everywhere as well. At least it's not sitting on BBS RSs with tires too small and too much negative camber.

I think I like the broken links better, man, lolol. If you had proper fitting tires and none of that crap on the mirrors, this car would be the shit for real, dude. Those are the only two things, in my opinion, holding this car back from being a respectable looking Bimmer.

[Sinfix_15]

Those wheels are the shit.....

stickers are gay, but i'm starting to feel like a broken record saying that.

[Manny Naber]

Lol I kinda feel the same way guys that was half the reason for all this, you don't see funky stuff like that on any of my other cars but when you have the ability to do just do something like this real quick, it's fun. The car turned out better than I thought and I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

You know what, i was about to talk shit... But. If your signature is legit.. Fk it.. It truly looks like your Bsing with the BMW... So f it.l legit fun is what's all about at the end of the day... Not " legit " stickers.. Lol

[Sammich]

i like it...i dont see why everything that has to be to everyone's taste...car is clean, it's not over the top disgusting. wheels and tires fit the car nicely..i wouldnt ride around w/ the side mirrors like that, but it's "DIFFERENT" (in quotations) to see. i say let him live...tiz awl

[RandomGuy]

I like it... crazy I got those wheels for my e90 the same day you posted this thread.

[Gashbell4595]

Like the car besides the mirrors, other then that, looks clean and fun, do whatever you want to it.

[quickdodge®]

I don't really see why people have to step in tell others to basically "stop posting their own opinions" and "to do whatever you want to do." Seems like that is already known and if opinions weren't wanted, then the thread wouldn't need to be posted. That's part of what brings threads down.

aaaand here is a potential motivation picture to all the young guys on this board that wish to have things they think are out of reach.

Here is a picture of my lot right now. 6 years ago at the age of 18 I started selling Streetbikes in California. 3 years ago I opened my own "dealership" which consisted of 3 cars, and 1 motorcycle. I advertised only on Craigslist.

I now keep roughly 50+ cars on my lot, no floor plans, no bank loans. I have 3 full time employee's. If space allows it I hope to have about 80 vehicles at all times by this time next year. I am 24 years old...and orignally started selling street bikes because I wanted to fund a " 240sx build" .... lmao.

Let's see some pictures then...

I am a fan of poke and a fan of stretched tires, but in my opinion the wheels are too big for the E46 frame. Would love to see it with 1'' smaller wheels, and a little lower. Just personal preference though. For the price you paid seems like a great deal for what you needed in a daily.

...I am a little confused as to why you needed a daily given that you own a dealership with 30+ cars...none of those would have worked?

Dude you stepped into a Hornets nest on this site. The car looks good imo, I will agree that I'm not much of a sticker bomb fan either, but what gets me is how people would rather put your ride down than just shut up. Even the mod on here jumps right in the butt fucking. I havent looked at this site in about a year & it hasnt changed at all. Im sure noone missed me just as I'm sure I wont miss it after this. Good luck with your BMW man, I'd post pics somewhere else though if you dont want all the high school girl drama.

Ya, go post on a bimmer forum. I'm sure those guys won't say ANYTHING.....lol

I don't understand why people think that everyone has to like everything everyone else does.

I don't understand why people can't respect what everyone else does instead of being prude about it. Everyone has their respective taste, which makes the car community what it is.
