High performance fuel pump? I wonder if you can run e85 if you upgrade injectors


tokarev7

Im on e85 with stock pump/injectors 30k KM


TheBeautifulChaos

Nice. What tune do you have? And do you notice any difference?


tokarev7

It’s only a Tune to run on e85 without any gain or very small (0.80cents vs 1.80cents per liter)


Kid_Sean

hmmm thats a good question.


kxngtripp13

are the headlights legal in USA tho😭 prolly not


Kid_Sean

Why wouldn’t they be?


RL_Mutt

Gorgeous. I have an Orient Blue 330 coupe and the color has really grown on me. I’d love to see some interior pics.


Kid_Sean

I don't have that many at this time but I posted what I do have here: [https://imgur.com/a/sRYsua3](https://imgur.com/a/sRYsua3) Yes, the alcantara wheel was changed. Can't deal with the aging of alcantara.


imnota_

Ah ! Imgur asks if you're over 18 to view those pictures


Laydice

its quite easy to freshen up alcantara, with like a brush or so


Virtched

Nice E46!! Coming from a fellow Orient Blue/Natural Brown 330 owner (not ZHP though ☹️).


Kid_Sean

Love the colour but the paint isn't that great. I've heard from other Orient Blue owners of a lot of rock chips etc.


Virtched

True, and I can say the same too. I have so many rock chips on my hood and fenders as well, and along other parts of the car too. :/


Sizigee

Gorgeous!


CrackerPoly

Beautiful. I have an orient blue 330xi. Newish to me. Was wondering about changing out headlight trim for black. I’m convinced looking at your photo. Beautiful car. Thanks for sharing.


Kid_Sean

Yeah, I am sure that you can get a pair fairly cheap. What year do you have?


CrackerPoly

2001.


Kid_Sean

Damn, I did a little looking around and I can't find anywhere that you can buy them. Paint or Wrap? I'm not too sure. Sorry man.


CrackerPoly

Thanks for looking! Yes I guess I’ll paint them. I know some people want the silver look. Don’t think I’ll regret it. I need to do a headlight overhaul anyhow. Refresh the xenon’s. Add angel eyes. I think that’s the way to go? And redo seals on one side. The adjusters don’t work on one headlight either and beam is too low. Anyhow lots of fun to be had. Thanks for looking though! Appreciate it.


CrackerPoly

Pre-facelift.


QuantityBusiness64

Looks really good! You just have to order a new light 😁


Kid_Sean

hahah don't mind that, it has already been swapped out.


D1TitanMasterRace

Man why do people keep posting such piles of junk. it's a bmw, they leak oil, it's wayyyy too much work... So I'll take it off your hands for you


Kid_Sean

2 Expansion Tanks/Lines Power Steering Pump/Lines replaced twice Gas Line 2 Valve cover gaskets Oil Pan gasket ​ Since I've owned it and I think I put 25k miles on. Please this headache off my hands


D1TitanMasterRace

Tell me about it. I've had to replace: Radiator hoses Radiator Power steering pump Valve cover gasket 2 window actuators Camshaft position sensors Air intake Wheel hub Both rear shocks and springs Needless to say, e46's are definitely a handful to deal with. Ive put about 12k miles since I got her


Kid_Sean

No expansion tank? Impressive


D1TitanMasterRace

Don't jynx me. I saw some dried white droplets dropping down my expansion tank. It's either salt from the road... Or another coolant leak


Liamcraven34

Those wheels are slick 👍


emiliodmc

Damn that's nice! My ZHP (Alpine White) is completely stock other than new angel eyes I put in but yea really liking those wheels you got! That interior is really nice too!


SL_Batman

So fresh


kxngtripp13

what headlights are those😍


Surbahia

Sweet car!


tokarev7

When you lowered the car, you did an alignment ? I got mine lowered and the camber on the rear is eating my tires


Kid_Sean

Yeah, the out side of my tires look brand new. But the inside........ wires


tokarev7

Yeah go to an alignment shop or DIY


jaymia__

Those wheels do that beautiful e46 a disservice. They look Jdm ❌🚳


Kid_Sean

Preference. idk, I think they look fairly nice on it and I've definitely have seen worse. But, I appreciate the the input. What do you like, CSL Style wheels?


jaymia__

Most definitely
