my carbon black M3 E46
hi, my name is svenson. i'm pretty new here, so i'd like to introduce my car 8)
it's a carbon black m3 e46, smg ii gearbox, with the beautiful original bmw 19" wheels, and eibach springs installed (2-2.5cm lower, about 1 inch):
i like it black, so i added smoked/dark backlights (from in.pro):
did i say i like it black? this plastic console right under the smg stick comes in some titan colored plastic. i removed the chrome SMG letters, filled the holes and colored the console in semi gloss black. this perfectly matches the black leather seats and the steering wheel (where i had to replace the lower spoke which came in this titan colored plastic too...):
that's how many kilometers i did with this car until a few weeks ago. it's even more now damn i like this car!
i'll add some more pics of my other mods later. this includes a supersprint exhaust, black spoiler "kidneys", and black/white bmw stickers instead of those original blue/white ones.
i hope you like the pics (and i hope i did this album posting correct so you can see the pics...)
EDIT: uploaded pics in bigger format

@TT:
so you're pretty close to geneva. i guess you're visiting the "auto salon" each year
btw, i found a pic showing the above mentioned black front spoiler "kidneys":
the pic was shot while driving on the german hockenheim race track. check out my cool "g-meter" (well, the pic used to be a bit larger before i uploaded it, sorry for this stamp size photo ops: )
i put philips silverVision blinker bulbs, btw. that's why the front blinker glasses don't show any sign of orange color.
EDIT: postet pic with more pixels 8)

this car is real fun! the smg gearbox is just astonishing. gear changes in highest level (S6) are simply brutal, done in 0.08 secs :shock:
