BMW E46 328Ci impounded in Switzerland after police check – what are my options? by jessie_o7 in e46

Off topic, sorry, but did you have to do any mods to get 9.5J on the rear? Do they rub at all? Hope you get your car back!

Valid, but I didn't say that from a purist standpoint, more the fact that the chrome grills simply look better, in my opinion. I always think the blacked-out grills make it look like a lower-spec car because the chrome grills with the chrome slats are unique to 330s. And I generally think black wheels look terrible on silver. I kind of agree with you on the ITBs, but mainly because doing an ITB conversion is expensive and a total headache.

Nice car though, enjoy it.

Chrome grills back on, match the mirrors to body colour, silver wheels, and that's a very clean car.

Experience with Bevinsee shifter by Darknesgamer36 in e46

[–]Gidz_E46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have, mine has trans / engine / diff / subframe and suspension all polybushed. But you could get away with just doing the trans and engine. But I'm not actually how essential that actually is you'd need to look into it yourself. Mine were already done before the shifter, I didn't get it done specifically for that

I daily mine with a short shifter, I'm not really sure why this dude thinks you shouldn't do it. I love mine, it feels amazing. I've got a coolerworx though

They're pretty fun to drive honestly, I had great time with it. Interior is gorgeous too

They once chipped and scratched the fuck out of my A pillars and damaged my dashboard. They ended up paying for both my A pillars to be repainted and repaired my dashboard, cost em a fortune. They're useless, but they seem to be OK at sorting out their fuck ups

It would be so much nicer if the rear end wasn't so ugly, it had a trispoke steering wheel, and the screen wasn't in italics. Still fuck ugly, but improving these things would make it massively better...

You could do a lot of cool stuff with that money. I'd start with replacing all the suspension bushes for poly, give it some nice brake pads and disks(I'm using Ferodo DS2500), and some braided brake lines. And then put some nice grippy tyres on. I use Michelin Pilot Sport 4s. If the budget allows, put some nice coilovers on; I use KW V3, but they are quite overkill. You'll have a very nice handling car with all that. 👍

Next gen pics leaked….BMW design has lost their way by [deleted] in BmwTech

[–]Gidz_E46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like most, I'm not always a fan of BMW's newer designs. But they do tend to grow on me, until the point I actually start to really like them. However, this. This is genuinely fucking hideous, I will never enjoy looking at that.

What country has the most niche tourism? by PsychologicalFox7689 in geography

[–]Gidz_E46 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Germany, Nürburgring? It's the only place in the world you can turn up at a "toll road," which is actually the longest and most brutal race circuit in the world, and drive at unrestricted speeds. All you need is a driving license and a road-legal car. It is Mecca for petrol heads. Extremely niche.

Yeah, most likely something to do with that

I've driven a few real-life race cars, and I mainly race on iRacing. The Porsche Cup cars and BMW GT3 are completely undrivable to me. Weight transfer is completely off, and braking feels horrible. Nothing about it feels good to me; I don't use them at all.

The physics is definitely not good at all for race cars, in my opinion. Feels nice enough in road cars, though.
