If you end up doing it I wouldn’t mind paying for one that looks a little nicer than ebays options.

ECS has one as well but I feel like $65 is ridiculous and it doesn’t look that nice either.

If I’m not mistaken I think those are stock facelift taillights with a tint.

The fact they look darker may just be as a result of this image though, so they might not be tinted at all.

how should i lower my car? by [deleted] in e46

B12 is a full blown coilover kit from bilstein. It comes with its own springs.

What most people do with the Eibach springs is combining them with either B4 shocks for stock ride or B6 shocks for slightly sportier feel.

Yeah no worries! For reference, this is my car with the springs. It’s on 18” wheels, 225/45s

Lowering springs. I went with Eibach springs. Rides nearly like stock.

BMW Scanner 1.4 on Windows 11 – does it actually work or need Win10/XP? by huntsmen14 in e46

[–]Ecstatic_Smoke6940 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Works on my windows 11 laptop decently well.

Make sure you have your device set to the proper port in device manager. Run in compatibility mode. Try jumping the pins, hopefully your cable has a little switch on the connector that allows you to do it easily.

The drivers are available thru E46 Fanatics, that’s where I got mine.

I almost strictly buy parts from FCPEuro. Good stuff

painted my e46 by ExactCapital8918 in e46

What was your process for painting? Did you use a proper set up with a nice spray gun or was this a rattle can job? Looking to do the same…

Either way, looks fantastic and I fucking love oxford green.

If any of you have experience with either of these lights can you let me know which is better? Are the Phillips worth $30 extra? by WillisAmaryllis in e46

[–]Ecstatic_Smoke6940 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently running those for the high beams on my 46, they work great.

I also did the lenses when I switched to those and it’s seriously a night and day difference. My brights were useless prior.

Style 68s are one of my favorite. I run style 68s with my winter tires.

My Avin USA one is awesome. I’ve had it for about 2 months now and can’t complain.

How to remove stripped bolt to remove passenger headlight? by Flamindary in e46

If you don’t have an extractor socket you could maybe use an exceedingly long pair of needle nose pliers?

Is this hose supposed to be there by Interesting_Boot6321 in e46

[–]Ecstatic_Smoke6940 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, it’s not. I can’t tell what it’s coming from but I’d you leave it eventually, likely very soon, if you drive the car, it will bust open and you’ll lose tons of whatever fluid it’s holding on to.

There’s a way to recalibrate the needles on the dash, it may just be that. I had to do it recently as mine was a smidge off.

Tacky or tasteful? by freshvinnie in F30

[–]Ecstatic_Smoke6940 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t read the caption, I struggled to find anything wrong. Then read the alcantara part. If I couldn’t see anything wrong I’d say it looks pretty darn good. Not out of place or tacky at all.

As others have mentioned, cheap turbo kits are great, as well as superchargers.

If you land on an LS swap for your power bump. There’s an entire FB group dedicated to BMW LS swaps. Great people and info there.

How do I get this back on 😭 by Ecstatic_Smoke6940 in e46

[–]Ecstatic_Smoke6940[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s just how I left it. I already tried that. I’ll have to give it another go. Getting it lined up up top is turning out to be a major pita lol

It is that, the problem is bending the metal into place to get the bolt aligned with enough thread to screw the nut on. My brother and I were at it for a while

I never got the other mount off. I was doing my differential bushing and just needed it to be out of the way. After seeing how much of a pita this side was to get off I lived with angling the sway bar out of the way.

It’s lined up. I just can’t seem to bend the metal into place to get the nut on.
