    As Dane would say, my Imolarot itches...

    Yes it does...

    That tiny little text under the gorgeous pic of his red 4-door is what led me here. My name is Botond and I'm from Bridgeport, CT. I'm new to the E46 world in general, migrating from a wicked fast S50-swapped E30. It was time to move on to a proper daily driver/track rat (dual-purpose), and do not regret it for a second.

    10k miles and 3 months later, I'm still tickled every time I get in the car. My Imolarot itches; I think I'm going to go and scratch it now.












    Front license plate has been removed and blanking strip in place as it sits now. Haven't had any chances to take pics during the day (dark when I go to work and dark when I get out!). Perhaps one day someone with a proper camera will offer to snap some, as I only have a crappy Droid-X camera to take pics with...

    It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.

    Nice! The wheels look good too, makes the car more aggressive.

    Very Nice man. If you don't mind me asking, What nationality is "Botond" ? Not trying to be nosey, just never heard that name before.

    I was thinking along of the lines of "special editions", such as how new M3's (on 18" wheels) have a darker color to them, or like how hot hatches in Europe have slightly darker wheels to signal a more special model. I think the slightly darker silver wheels are the perfect "special edition" touch to what is a very special car.

    Hungarian. And yes, fluently, before you ask.
    The two most common questions I get asked are: What nationality is that, and do you speak Hungarian?

    Along similar lines, since about 2005 or so Audi has offered the Titanium Package here in the US with darker wheels and maybe a few other mods.

    Nice car! I think there may be an Imola Syndicate within the ZHP Mafia.

    Man that car is sexy! I love how you did the wheels! I have a question.... When you refinished them, were you able to take out and reinstall the ///M logo without damaging it or did you just replace it. If you replaced them, where did you get the replacements? That is the only think I was worried about when I was planning to do something similar to mine.

    And what's your suspension setup? Its looks completely badass sitting like that!
