Hey guys, I wanted to start up a build thread for my 05 330ci, so I don't have to keep making new threads in the Photo's section with every new mod. I was determined to get an E46 for my first legit car, I couldn't find anything worth buying. After failing to find any clean E46's, I picked up a 1998 5MT 328i. I loved that car to death but someone PM'd me an offer that I couldn't resist. After four weeks of searching I finally found my ZHP.

Here is my E36. You can see her Build Thread here, http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=833777&highlight=

And here is my new, stock ZHP. 2005 330ci, 46k miles, Jet Black on Black/Black Cube, fully loaded minus Nav.

I haven't done it personally but am not afraid to tackle something like this. Please let me know if you'd like some moral support and I'll be more than happy to truck it on down there. :biggrin

The PO hardwired my car (though I don't have the detector :( ) so we could use it as a reference.

Nice to have the AUX. Look in the performance section of this forum... good exhaust sound clips and opinions.
