The Random E46/ZHP Question Thread

Considering painting the trim back to matte black, thoughts?

Looks nice as is. And it’s something you don’t see everyday on an e46 sedan. If you have matte black grills and matte black window trims I say go for it. If glossy black, then maybe consider gloss black trims?

I think TiAg really benefits from the black trim. Edit: meaning I think it looks really good with the added contrast.

I totally agree, it’s felt like something has been missing for awhile, especially considering the rear lower bumper trim is also TiAg which I’ve seen in gloss black that looks much better

That’s what I’m afraid of is looking like any one 325i on the road. Both my kidneys and window trim is gloss, I like the idea of more gloss, been meaning to also paint my mirrors gloss black to match

My vote goes for black trim. I like the contrast.

I vote black as well! Quick question, I’m planning to invest in a set of winter tires. Should I buy these for $400 or invest in a set of Bridgestone for $200 more. I didn’t expect winter tires to be so expensive. I couldn’t find any review on these Hankooks but Bridgestone has plenty of reviews. I have Bridgestone summer tires.

Never skimp on tires, the most crucial safety aspect of your car. If there aren't any reviews of the Hankook but plenty on the Bridgestone, go for the Bridgestone.
I've had a couple of sets of Bridgestone winter tires and can attest to how awesome they are.

Bridgestone, Nokian, or go home.

I can vouch for Bridgestone, highly recommend the Blizzak WS-80’s

Good explanation guys. I currently have Bridgestone summer tires. I guess I’ll be picking up the Bridgestone winter tires as well.
