Hi all. It took me a long time to find this ti cause I specifically wanted a "sport" with a stick shift. I think I may be the only "sport" ti in Montreal. The car is quite peppy and has amazing handling. I am about to install halos and fogs soon and will change the springs in front to lessen the gap. That's it for this season. Will take some decent pics when I'm done. -Manny www.3DMastermind.com    |  |  | | 05-31-2008, 05:40 PM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: Memphis, Tn Posts: 1,299 |
Sick Fu**ing car man!! I love that color! Nice rims, looks very clean. I would also remove that ///M badge from the hatch. Just my .2 cents. other than that the car looks sick. What kinda of side view mirrors are those? They don't look like the square stock ones but more like the oval ones they put on the new cars. O and also are those M3 vents on the front side fenders?? __________________

Nice looking car you found there. Congratulations! If I were you I would take the m badge off the trunk. I'm not feeling the E46 M3 vents on the fenders, they look out of place. Other than that you purchased a really nice looking ti. __________________ Clever but we are clueless...

Actually, the car was bone stock when I got her which is what I wanted. I made these mods. -M5 mirrors (good eye Will). Theire really nice looking... but with issues. -Side grills...I know..."ghay"...but don't knock em till u see them. I really took the time to make them look just perfect like factory. -Rear spoiler (non oem...have kids  -18'' rims. My main objective is to be subtle and keep it as classy as possible, this is the true distinction we have with these cars. | | | | | 05-31-2008, 08:13 PM | #5 | | That's not Millpoint Blue Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: BNA Posts: 3,161 |
Wow... that's a beautiful color! Is it a standard BMW color? I seem to remember that Canada got Techno Violet while the US didn't.
I agree on removing the ///M badge on the rear... unless, of course, you have the ///motor to back it up. I'm also not feeling the gills, but yours look a LOT better than the ones that were STUCK onto mine when I got it.
Try to get some "natural light" photos so we can properly drool over that shade of blue. :-) __________________ Real men know how to SEARCH!

It's stock "AVUS" Blue.
The ///M Badge is kind of "in your face" I got it for free with some other product. I figured that sport versions did come with ///M symbols like on steering wheel (for '99) and side vinyl door protectors...No? | | | | | 05-31-2008, 08:30 PM | #7 | | That's not Millpoint Blue Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: BNA Posts: 3,161 |
That's Avus Blue? Interesting... it looks a lot darker than I remember. Oh well... I guess my eyes are getting old. LOL Still... it's a great color!
True... the Sport / M-Tech package does have a few ///M's but they're small and discrete. It's really a matter of personal preference, and since it's YOUR car, do what YOU want. :-) __________________ Real men know how to SEARCH!

Keep the M Badge on. It's your car
///M.. M-Tech (which this sport is)
///M3.. M3
in my opinion atleast. Looks good. What's wrong w/ the mirrors? I noticed them too and was like.. oooooooo i want. __________________
