M-Sport/ZHP Conversion - BMW E46 325i Touring - Project Cologne: Part 11
Added 2021-06-15 00:52:26 +0000 UTCPart 11 has landed! In this episode, we address all of the outstanding mishaps from the previous one and finally install M sport bumpers which now wear the correct paint and match with the rest of the car.
The touring has come a very long way since episode 1. I wasn't really planning to go this far with it initially, but it's a build I always wanted to do. Clean, factory spec E46 M-sport Touring and I'm loving it!
The past few days, I can't get my eyes off of it. Excited to keep driving it and for what's to come!
P.S. I'll update the thumbnail tomorrow, it's 3 am now and just wanted to release the video before going to bed.

It'll be the same just with more power.

2021-06-18 16:01:55 +0000 UTCI'm living vicariously through your videos
2021-06-17 19:32:32 +0000 UTCSreten, this E46 has turned out way too nice to do an engine swap.
2021-06-16 16:40:44 +0000 UTCWhere you get that ramps ?
2021-06-15 19:52:24 +0000 UTCI must say that I agree with you because it does look beautiful! You continue to outdo yourself every time!
2021-06-15 15:08:10 +0000 UTCGreat video as usual, have you looked into reinforcing the rear axle carrier panel? Seems like a good thing to do before adding more power since they're prone to cracking.
2021-06-15 14:03:13 +0000 UTCI'll do black Alcantara when I find the time. Don't want to install normal black fabric

2021-06-15 13:59:01 +0000 UTCThere is just one thing missing for a complete M Sport Package like it would have been from the factory: A Black Headliner. Do you plan to get one?
2021-06-15 13:41:40 +0000 UTCgreat video, really enjoy your content and style.
2021-06-15 12:37:38 +0000 UTCHaha, thank you!

2021-06-15 10:58:10 +0000 UTCYet again you had my wife laughing, which is always a good sign. What was she laughing at? Ex girlfriend crazy. Hilarious and one of the reasons why I love watching you work. Your attention to detail, like cleaning parts of the car no one, including you, will ever see! The car looks amazing and the colour match, on camera, looks, as you say, almost perfect. Perhaps you need a v8 with a supercharger in it instead ;)

2021-06-15 10:54:06 +0000 UTCAmazing how far this car has come! It does look beautiful indeed!! There's one minor suggestion I'd like to make: when shooting the "beauty shots", like those at the end of the video, I believe it would be better to film them with the tripod. The little camera movement that's there is almost unnoticeable, but if you removed that, I believe the overall quality would increase.

2021-06-15 10:34:44 +0000 UTCE90 xDrive strut mounts on the e46 sounds very interesting. Could you tell me the part number? (According to my research it would be LEMFÖRDER 37300 01 or original BMW Partnumber 31336775097, but I’m not 100% sure)
2021-06-15 10:27:05 +0000 UTCI have one already, two actually :D

2021-06-15 09:38:32 +0000 UTCIt's a typical business, in it just for a quick buck. 99% of customers would never complain about this, example is the previous owner of this car and the mismatched doors on the left side and rear bumper.

2021-06-15 09:33:36 +0000 UTCWhy not use the S62 engine instead? 😀
