Hey boys and girls!

...and now let me introduce myself, MY NAME IS HOV!...sorry I meant Jay aka Black_Ti :D

I've been a silent surfer for a coupe months now, just too lazy to sign up;)

So far, from what I've seen you guys seem like a lively bunch... I'm a frequent user of bmwland and have gained much knowledge over there, recognise a couple users on here from there too! wassup guys! But if im honest, EvoT seems a lot more relaxed then BMWL, (no offence BMWL)...plus you guys on here seem to be well into your tuning/mods, I notice many members are based in london (good for local recommendations and possibly meets) and now i'm able to say fvck or bugger without it being censored lol I'm only joking....


Well now for the essential part, which is the whole reason why I signed up.

I'm a proud owner of a 02' BMW 325ti Compact M Sport (My first BMW). Many BM owners I come across, tend to not consider the Compact as a "proper" BM, I sometimes feel left out in the cold...(cue for violin) but I assure you this is one E46 i've grown to love, and plan to keep it for a couple years yet....or until the salary rises again;)

But anyway enough of me boring you guys to death.....get ready for the abundance of silly questions lol...


oh I nearly forgot...:)



taken on a cold and frosty morning, dont watch the shoes....soon to be replaced with some 18s...

I'm not a heavy modder, but so far...I've fitted 8000k HID kit (most scary of all mods), ///M Boot Badge, ///M Gear Knob, Pioneer DVD Headunit, Sony 10" sub and recently replaced the limo tints you see in the pic with Dark Smoke instead.

Welcome. I had an E36 compact which was pretty good, and the E46 compact beats it in every way. Plus, the E46 compact was reckoned to be the best steer among the E46s, M3 excluded (possibly;) )

Nice car, but where are the Sport wheels?:confused: I reckon the Compact sport wheels are one of the best 17ers BMW have come out with.

welcome buddy! nothing wrong with compact:) we have some compact owners here so I'm sure they'll chime in soon. next mod???
Hope so. The next treat this car gets will DEFINITELY be a set of 18s, I cant bare to see those 16s on it...Just gotta prioritise a few things first:(



the E46 compact was reckoned to be the best steer among the E46s, M3 excluded (possibly;) )
Yeah I read a couple of articles saying the same thing:D
