Some call it the "The lowest e46 out there." - Mike Burroughs, some say it's the classiest e46 on style 5's, and other's say it's a work of art. I was going back through past pictures, I had never edited, and never really thought to edit, when I saw all these pictures of Charlie's old 323i. Although the car is still alive and well and sitting on the floor with its new owner, I personally will never forget the work of art Charlie had made, the amount of time and effort that had gone into this car to make it what is was, every little detail was perfect, from the flawless fitment, to the perfectly wrapped interior. His car was, and forever will be, perfect.

What made his car even more special was the fact that it was driven daily going over 8 speedbumps at least, hitting the tiniest little bumps on the road, almost getting stuck at intersections because they had just a little too much crest. But that never stopped him or the car that had 212,000+ miles on it.

I don't really know how else to explain how perfect this fitment really is.

BMW makes some of the best factory and facotry replacement rims, but I'm not a huge fan of these on the car, but overall, the car looks fantastic. Too bad nothing can be normally driven like that around here, everything would be torn off lol

I think you are the first person to say that the Style 5's don't look good on there haha.

You should see the roads here, I don't know how he did it, I mean I was low, I had 2 inches of clearance he had 1.

They look fine, I just think there are better rims out there. I'm a car guy and appricate the work and money involved, even if it looks like crap (someone wanted it that way) But the wheels fit and make it look good, I just think there are much better wheels to choose from.

Thats a crazy price! and that's a bummer on having to sell it. Especially with so much work into it.

Hahah yes it is, and we still miss this car so much, he regrets selling it everyday, there was just no way he could afford to get it back. :(
