    Hey everyone I just joined this forum and so far you all seem really chill and nice
    Just thought I would make a thread showing my cars life. Think it should be more of a thread about its life rather than a build since I don't really plan on doing anything really crazy or any power mods.

    My car is a 1999 Jet Black 323i E46. Bought it about a year ago when I was 18. So yes I am 19 and ending my freshmen year in college right now over in Washington DC. My car stays at home in Nor Cal while i'm at school

    The engine has about 90,000 miles on it while the rest of the car has about 130,000. This is why I don't plan on doing any power mods and the fact that it is a 323i lol

    So i'll start with the pictures, let me know what you think. And yes I started off in a direction (murdered out) but have since changed my taste as you can start to see by the stuff i'm buying

    Here's the earliest picture I have. It's a little after I bought it. Only thing so far is matte black grills and window tint



    Then I bought some rims (Motegi MR116 18x8)
    And Tinted the tail lights with VHT Niteshades
    Oh... and put a ford 250 exhaust tip on that I found on the road since my car came with only a nasty little pipe haha





    Next were some R/C/R Tail lights because I got a ticket for the tinted ones
    and Smoked corners



    Then sold the rims for a lot more than I bought them for



    Then one of my smoked corners fell out on the way to Oakland so I thought I would try clear corners (I like smoked better)





    That is how it sits right now but I have been continuing to purchase parts to be put on in the near future I hope.

    I started with a rear bumper



    Then My exhaust tips from Ebay



    Then Raceland Coilovers from Raceland

    Sadly none of those parts are installed if thats what you mean by it being a tease haha. I'll probably only install the coilovers and rims and one pair of tips on the stock bumper soon. I need to get tires though and i'm not sure what size I should get since I want to be stanced

    Oh and I need to get adjustable endlinks before I can install the coilovers, but those aren't that expensive. The big problem is that the gf is putting a big dent in my money that I need for car parts :P I gotta save $400 bucks to go sky diving for her birthday on June 24th! I'm just playing (kind of). I can't wait to take her skydiving though.

    Looks like you have a good start with your car! There are a number of good sources out there to help you decide tire size. In the end it will depend on your ride height, camber, wheel offset and tire model choice.
