Damn that looks so much better with the clear indicators and those rims look good - still got them :P

I want to try and find some 330Ci headlights as they have the angel eyes + projector headlamps. Gota find a pair first though =\

nah mate. Sold those with the car. Only have the iforged equips. These will require guard rolling though coz they're 10 inch wide at the rears...in fact when I measured them....it was close to 11.5 inches lip to lip. Does make the car look tough.

Just curious - how much would you be after for those rims with tyres? Whats the exact size, width, offset etc? PM me if need be.

Yes they do look shmexy on the Bimmer :P

Daniel - i can do more than 2 things at once :( lol

Roy - Whats the correct wheel fitment for the E46 BMW's? 5 x one hundred and what?

PCD 120 x 5, do not get commodore wheels coz they may have incorrect center bore size. You will need 72.6mm center bore for the BMW otherwise u might need to run hub rings which tend to break and even new ones have been know to vibrate under speed.

also for safe fitment (assuming 19" wheels), then 8.5 front with +38 and 9.5 rears with +42 will fit without rubbing.

The iforged are

19 x 8.5 and 19 x 10, iforged don't stamp offsets as they are all custom made in the US according to specs. They don't have rubber on them coz i reused the tyres. I'm looking at 2k for the wheels but I'm flexi on pricing, just hit me with a PM if you want to drop by my place and test fit them on the car.

Wont be for another 2 weeks though coz a mate borrowed them for a photoshoot and has them locked in his garage n gone on holidays.

If you like the look of the other wheels I had on my car ( the 5 spoke volk lookalike), I can send u a link to the dealer in the US. Easy ppl to deal with and good price on shipment too.

Ok no worries.

I won't be looking at buying any rims within the next few months though. I have the transfer fees to pay and then i want to do HID's and LED's first. So I am just after a rough pricing guide on some rims+tyres so i know how much i need to save. I'll also be doing some dark tints before rims too.

I'll be looking at an 18 x 8.5 front & 18 x 9.5 rear.

Does anyone know where i can get some angel eyes? What i am really after (as stated a few times before ) is the 330Ci headlights (if i can find a pair....)

The 330ci headlights only came with Angel Eyes in the facelift models, so it wouldn't fit your car. if you get the prefacelift 330ci with projectors, you will still need to buy the AE's and fit them on.

Best option is to go aftermarket. Check out

http://www.carwear.com.au/E46%20Head%20Lights.html

Don't buy the projectors from the US as they have a different beam pattern and will be illegal here.

for LED tails, email [email protected]

Ok, thanks for that.

I have heard of people installing the aftermarket headlights (AE/Projectors) & LED tail lights, and it causing problems with the electrical system/s?

No problems with the LED tails that I've heard of. There has been an odd complaint where it flickers...but that's due to a resistor pack going bad and is an easy fix (replace resistors)

Some CCFL Angel eyes have had issues with the connectors melting due to inferior design. Just splice the wires and use separate connectors + heat shrink. LED Angel Eyes have no problems.

You can get a bulb out warning when u swap out halogens for projector HID's. Most aftermarket BMW projector lights have HID Ballasts which draw close to 55w, so you shouldn't get a bulb out warning. If you do, then bring it to the dealers to get the LCM flashed and that resolves it. Buy from a reputable dealer and avoid Ebay to be safe.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
