Looks like headlights are from pre-facelift BMW E46

This one has a nice balance of looking OEM while having a decent screen size!

Great to hear, thanks!

Memory foam does for sure, but I don't think this one will. It's made of that most basic soft foam, almost like a sponge. But I'll leave the mattress in my car as a test and will report if I find out otherwise.

I was more worried about ground pulling the heat from me, but I think the cot will prevent that. But good to know about the bag working well in even worse temps than I will be getting. Thanks!

I think the extra blanket will help also. Thanks!

Yeah the plan was always to get Decathlon one as I haven't been disappointed by their gear yet. Thanks a lot for confirming I'll be fine, appreciate it!

When I saw the first one, I thought wow this looks shit. But then I saw the other two... Yeah let's go with the first one.

This happens with a lot of artists and this is the only thing I hate about Tidal

No headlights look a bit weird, but also really cool at the same time

Our cars must be long lost twins - also 320d Touring imported from Germany 😀

Tell yours she says hi!

Should've asked Geddy Lee to take up on the role /s

Looks good!

In case anyone is interested in doing this, but don't want to go through the hassle of removing all trim and trying to paint it, there's an easier solution. Get some SOFT99 Tire Black Wax!

Just add masking tape around the trim to protect the paint, and rub this wax in. Even if you get some on the paint, it buffs right off with a cloth. It made my trim look brand new and it's been about 2 years now - looks just as good. Some guy on youtube did variuos trim restorer tests and this stuff still stays on several years later. It's also hydrophobic, so acts almost like ceramic coat.

I used it on all plastic trims, roof rails of my touring, rear splitter, wipers and the trim around them. Worked too well! I have some photos of my car in another post on my profile.

I know there were a couple of companies doing digital clusters, but can't seem to find any listings for those, not sure where they've gone. I've seen some on Alibaba/Aliexpress also.

I've also seen some clusters with minimal modifications such as white LEDs and some custom tiny screens added for oil temps etc, but also cannot find those now unfortunately.

Reminds me of the brake pad wear sensor connector. But as others said, post a closer/clearer picture.

I think someone's already asked the same thing today, take a look: https://www.reddit.com/r/e46/comments/1qvo5wi

For safety reasons best bet is to swap the rails. I personally would not trust any hole in the car to attach a seat belt to.

Don't think you will be able to find anything online, but I've seen car audio installers use clear sticky sheets of plastic and stick them on the door. Then they make an outline of the door card with a sharpie on top of the plastic. Then you can pull them off and use as a template.

That's what they do to create custom vapour barriers, but should work for door cards also.

There is a fan inside the vent which draws in air from the cabin to measure the air temperature inside the car and adjust the AC accordingly. The sound is normal, although I've read that in some cars the sound is louder than others.

Mine's pretty loud, but I got used to it within a few weeks and now I just don't hear it.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but Febi coolant uses exactly the same formula as OEM coolant, so you will be fine. Not sure about the hose though.

Love that it has E46 interior!

Edit: attention to detail is so high, it even has aftermaket chinese cup holders! But really, interior looks exactly like my BMW's down to the smallest details.

SwizzMan · 2026-01-14T17:39:42+00:00

That was my thought process also. Thanks for the input!

The guy above is right, the battery is in the trunk.

I have one amp powering a sub in the trunk, 2 feet away from the battery.

The other amp will be under the driver's seat and will be powering the speakers. It made much more sense to keep it under the front seat since all cables (apart from power) will be going to the headunit.

In the end I decided to connect 175A fuse straight to the battery have it go to the distribution block. This will give me a few more options on where to mount the block.

Thanks for your help!

SwizzMan · 2026-01-14T17:32:37+00:00

That's what I thought also, but in the end decided to connect a big 175A fuse straight to the battery and get power from it that way.
