He was definately right, there are some amazing E46s on display here. I've only got an E36 at present but I'm quite happy as its my first car :D

Welcome to the forum mate, I look forward to seeing these mods. Do we get told what they are or is it a complete mystery? :p

i think the 225/255 combo looks alot better personally because the fact the fronts makes the back look bigger than they are or go 235/265 since its coupe and shud be ok with it. All personal preference really. Anyways Welcome to the forum man. Enjoy your stay :cool: .

almost forgot ;) [needpicts

Welcome mate [hiya

Hope to change my set up from 225/255 to 235/265, not expecting any rubbing but the arches are wider on an M3. You should'nt have any problems, I think one of the crew ran that set up on their old e46 [hmm

yea 8.5 all round should be cool if i remember correctly with 235/265 and a drop on pro kit. Are your running pro kit or sportline?

i dont know much about sportline.. youll have to ask peppernick/westside since they know whats what when it comes to dropping. Although i heard it drops the front more so that mite be a problem [hmm .

Welcome [hiya

Im running sportlines with 265 tyres, should be okay but it really depends on your offset.
