Smile Update post!

Thank you, all! Love seeing everyone's E46's! Jeez, there's just something about these cars that will NEVER ever get old. Here's an updated lil' night photosesh in my midnight cruise parking garage (only place nearby with good night lighting! haha) Daytime photos will be coming soon. This motor still runs strong as I remember them new at 148k. Gotta love an inline-6 rev out sesh no matter if you have the 189hp version haha.

Updated maintenance and work done as of 3/2023:
-Rear differential bushing replaced
-Center support bearing bushings
-H&R Sport Springs (LOVE the perfect OEM+ drop and rake)
-Fuel pump replaced as preventative maintenance
-Roof and trunklid painted
-A bunch of random missing/incorrect hardware replaced
-Running a BG 44k fuel system cleaner, it's like a strong coffee for the M54, my 325i shouldn't feel this fast lol. Will perform a LOF soon.
-Ignore the missing third brake lamp, new OEM one already here, waiting for new clips (brittle 2001 housing cracked upon removal lol...was trying to clean behind it).
-Yonaka catback exhaust w/ titanium tips on it's way, good deal and not obnoxiously loud. The sedan 325's seem to have very little exhaust note haha. I recall the Ci being a little more throaty, so I can't wait! The 6cyl sounds amazing but I also like a lil' more noise from the back.
