My bmw 330ci clubsport edition has extended leather dash, a second glove box, a sat nav, a 6 cd player and a rear parking sensors. (Changed the screen to a android head unit though.) Also came in the best colour estoril blue
Extended leather was available in Europe for non M cars also. It was part of individual, where you could have individual colors and interior and exterior parts.
Some items you missed: The trunk ski-bag through the middle of the rear seats is pretty cool and easy to install. The Alarm can be coded to exist even if not installed and it will blink on the light under the mirror as if the alarm is installed. Another one is the turn signal stalk didn't necessarily come with onboard computer control. You can bring in a stalk with an OBC button. Lastly you can put in a light module with the automatic headlight control option.
Yes. I Frankenstein the shit out of my e46. M50 manifold, m3 rear end, back up cameras, all that. It's like legos for me! Gotta love the e46 chassis, its buildable like a honda but classier.
I find it funny the differences between markers (US vs EU). We in EU have much lower spec trims and engines but we have access to some of those "rare extras" you mention. I have a 320D with 150hp. Besides having this one, I have an 520i E34 Touring. For you Americans may be not that much but here they were and still are premium cars and are still rather expensive to purchase (well, in Portugal they are). In my case I have retrofitted the electric sunshade, installed wood trim, installed heated Alcantara and faux leather sport seats, but my car doesn't have rear electric windows, has PDC, had fabric seats, has drivers glove box, but has upper upholstery in black (Mtech). Strange combination of extras (or the lack of them) I have 🤷♂️ Keep the good work. I like watching your videos. Ps. If you find and want to retrofit an electric rear sunshade, I would be more than happy to teach you how to connect it.
Nice take on rare options... You might think about Individual full leather, which was the dashboard, center console and back of the front seats, as well as doorcards. Even in the EU that is super rare... And check out the colors. PDC could be extended, if you had Navigation Pro. It was possible to have a back up camera and PDC in front with a split view camera. And as rare options we are also looking at Compound brake Discs for 330 i/d, Navigation retrofit set, Aero package (not M package...) sunshades for rear side windows and a lot more. Bought myself old catalogues to get to know, what can be retrofitted. And from a EU perspective we are jealously staring at the ZHPs.... Keep it up!! 😁
UK Car, Base spec came with PDC, 6 Disc changer not rare in the UK, Sun blind very rare mirrors common on Verts and Coupes but rare on Tourings and Saloons. So I retrofitted it Manual seats and electric mirrors (Yellow Switch). FRONT PDC can be turned on and off via a button just like on the e39.
I Live in Australia and have a 2002 325i E46 face lift model I have the little cubby underneath driver side (good spot to hide things) I have leather underneath the dash as well
Τhere are very rare genuine ones from what you said and I know because I have them in my e46. An example is the sunroof with a solar panel, as well as the rear seats have booster seats for children up to 8 years old to sit higher, as well as rear cupholders. Not so rare at all are the rear lights which are behind the armrest and the factory xenon fog lights and the curtains on the rear windows from the doors. In general, there are many, many extras that people don't know about. I watch your channel and you are very good. Keep going
I've been trying to find an interior set for my convertible, and it's virtually impossible. I have only found one seat, torn to all hell, and the door card. I saw an entire interior set go for well over $7,000. At this point, i'm considering "re-dying"
Im from México and have a two door 325 Ci e46 F1 Version. I´ve searched for it online but nothing comes out on wikipedia or so. It turns out that the F1 version is one version before the M3 (without the S54 engine), has all the M badges and supposedly has the M3 suspension on it and it came with the M3 front bumper and headlights. It also comes with the 6 cd changer, the park distance control and the compartment between the door and the steering column you mention on this video so its not Europe only. I think you can find it cheaper in México cause these e46´s prices are dropping like crazy. Great video tho, greetings from México!
I live in Japan and have a 318Ci coupe. It has the folding mirrors, black switch at the top of the door grip. Also have that neat cubby storage bucket you talked about and the 6-Disc CD Changer (which hangs below the package deck in the trunk vice in a fender). European dash (wheel on the right) nationally coded for Japan but has S853, so everything is in English (weird but thankful). Also have something called a Hot Weather Climate option. Not sure what that all entails, but I know the air con in this car will freeze you!
That’s awesome you have nicely speced car. The hot weather climate was what determine the CCV system. The cold weather climate had a more insulated CCV system
Turns out my 330Ci is actually quite well equipped :D 16:9 navi, 6cd changer, power folding mirrors, the small compartmet below the steerign wheel and rear parking sensors. 5/10 Got some stuff to retrofit tho :D
I've read many comments here and they're all interesting, plus I've learnt a lot about some super rare extras. My 323ci (2000 MY) has some really good extras, including power folding mirrors, power rear sun shade, the 6 CD box in the trunk, and below it the DVD box for the Satnav. It's a full M packet so it has the rear parking sensors, also the Satnav in the "big" screen, I can connect my iPhone 12 perfectly via Bluetooth (which deeply amazes me being an all original year 2000 car) the M seats are electric with 3 memory positions, the stalk by the steering wheel has the button to control some of the features of the onboard computer. Are all of those e46's xenon with washers integrated? Im new to the e46 model, having owned more than 10 e36's in the last decade. Best regards to all! (Oh just remembered there's the Skies extra folding thingy in the middle of the rear seat, which I find so interesting)
Another rare option would be the solar powered sunroof sunshade with built in exhaust fans. I only know of one car here in California that has that option
Interesting, some of these to me was fairly common. So in South Africa I owned up to 4x E46s. 1x 318i 2004 (sold) - Have 6cd changer + manual blind + PDC 3x 330i 2001,2002,2003 (still own all 3) - Have 6cd changer + automatic blind, although only the 2003 has the PDC Do wish I had PDC in all of them. Would love to have power folding mirrors and seats.
I retrofitted power fold mirrors on my E46 convertible with memory seats and mirrors, I am in UK and used purple bottomed switch and mirrors with 11 wires. I only needed the switch and mirrors al wiring etc is in place.
my e46 convertible had a homelink mirror optioned in by my grandfather back in the day. sadly the mirror was also an auto-dimming one and it broke, and the only trustworthy mirrors we could find were non-homelink.
hey evan doing gr8 mate.. luv ur content.. come a long way since first ones.. keep em rolling! I just got e pdc and integrated rear camera from avin! think be easier than the own sensors .. and comes up directionallybon screen.. but hats off to you putting the OEM ones in.. u had the good bumper.. mines nothing an mtec anywayz..
oh but I have the drivers gloves box! was handy when installing my angel eyes.. easier access for a rhd install..wiring to the other side thinking installing a kill switch too for the eyes.. for stealth mode when in the car and dont want them on !
It seems the US got screwed over a bit, like with the E36 M3. In Europe things like the CD changer, the navigation unit, the PDC and the non M power folding mirrors aren't rare at all. My 330XD has all of them and it's missing many other common extras like the factory bluetooth, leather electric seats and seat heaters.
I have the extended leather 2004 325xi paid 800 bucks for the girl! Been a long road to get her where im at but that was one of the biggest selling points is she had the tan extended leather with black dash in 9/10 condition! That missing point being the driver seat as with all BMWs this age haha
I'd love to see a video about the Alarm System installation. Mine comes without it, and I was planning to find a modern aftermarket one for my E46, but I'd like to know your opinion on that too. And I guess mine was a rare version of the E46 since it came with the 6 CD navigation system with the older nav radio (with the small screen) and a business phone attached.
@@EvanGoyuk Thank you, I will try to find one of the factory ones, but I don't know how to install it... And yes, the phone however was disconnected when I got the car, so I don't know if it works. I've replaced the phone with a storage tray, and someone had unplugged the cables in the trunk of the old nav radio, but it didn't seem to be working propperly anyway, so I replaced it with an Eonon head unit (that's when I've found your channel when searching for radio options :P).
I manage to find super rare interiors I found a set of BMW original champagne E46 M3 Nappa leather interior including door cards 👀 I can't find another up for sale
I recently bought an e46 Coupe. Mine has the alarm, extended leather dash, electric rear sunshade, PDC and CD changer. I didnt know any of those are considered rare. 😯 I dont see the dash cubby that I have on the options list. So I guess they may be a standard thing for euro cars.
my dad e46 320d touring have the alarm, the 6 cd disc changer in the trunk, the navigation system it the dvd system (you press the button and the navigation system lower and you can put 1 dvd), the leather in the dash bord(i think), the compartement in the driver side, folding mirrors, and the park system control, by the way i'm from portugal(europe)
You sound like me 6 years ago when I got my ZHP 330i. I want it all of the options. Any rare or Euro or NLA part? And my car was a bare bones car that came with nothing so I had to retrofit everything. I installed the M3 mirrors and then retrofitted power fold motors from an E39 M5 Also retrofitted auto dimming side glass by using E90 prelci glass that fits in the M3 mirrors and wired them through the door. Harnesses all the way up to the electrochematic rear mirror control module Electric rear sun shade with a button in The switch center Rear door shades to go in the rear sedan doors. They clip into the window area with factory clips Rear PDC BMW fire extinguisher on the driver seat First aid box on the passenger seat with the actual first aid kit that's severely old lol I was going to purchase and install the solar roof that replaces the sunroof glass but I ended up going carbon fiber roof slick top Warning triangle in the trunk Tpms with the mk60 CSL/ZCP DSC module and the M track mode button in the steering wheel Homelink in the headliner Heated seat pads in my e46 M3 seats (had to harvest seat pads from trashed seats and have them seen into the leather seat covers) Lumbar and side bolster air bladder system from M3 seats Converted to manual seat bases Headlight washer system Alarm system Rain sensor system I think that's it 😬 Would love to get the extended leather dash with driver side storage pocket that you mentioned. Great video! 🙌 Another rare option is the OEM umbrella that goes on the passenger side trans tunnel with the clips that install into the carpet. So hard to find that.
Cinnamom extended leather dash with cinnamom M3 front/back seats and cinnamom gearbox and parking brake leather parts also, All in my 330Cd in Europe. But veeeeery expensive you can count on 5000/6000€+ for this set 👍🏻
A lot of uk e46 has the phone and Bluetooth function and the shark fin Ariel, but most people take out the phone holder and install cup holders instead
My E46 330ci Clubsport came with extended leather dashboard I used to have a grey interior and the dashboard was half black then half matching leather to my interiors
What about the compass in the rearview mirror? I think it's pretty rare option. Trying to find one for my 318d Touring 2004 which has the PDC, alarm, driver compartment, Bluetooth and phone console (not suitable for new phones so changed with cupholders), 6 CD changer with an MP3 CD (retrofitted and really hard to find) and the not mentioned 2 x 12V power sockets for the rear passengers. Also the sunroof is pretty rare in Europe I guess. Could you do a video about the different options to use it as I guess mine is not properly tilted :/ but can't find a video about it. Keep the good work!
@@beyondtheicewall4417 just write "e46 rear power sockets" in Google. There are also links to forums. Here is one ;) images.app.goo.gl/DL52URynfw5w9Pr46
Hi Evan. I have been wanting to get an E46 Touring MT for quite some time, however I have seen some figures that less than 2000 were ever sold in the US. Because this number is so low, I have fewer options and have to pay a pretty heavy rarity-tax on them. Therefore, I have come to the conclusion that I must import the car from Germany. I think this is a better option for of a few reasons. I will be getting a German maintained car, I can get a car with lower mileage, and it won’t have that horrific New England rust E46’s tend to get. The drawbacks are obvious in that I won’t see the car for quite some time, I’ll have to go through a dealer, and it will be a long, arduous process. However, I may be able to get the 330 Touring version since that was never sold in the US (325iT were the only wagon versions sold of the E46). I also could possibly import an M5 touring from the early 90’s if I save up more money. Do you think importing an E46 Touring to Massachusetts is a good idea? I don’t have unlimited money because I am going to college next year, however I do know that I can make around 15 grand by next summer if I get a 2nd job. If you were to give your opinion, that would be greatly appreciated!
I think importing would be a really cool thing to do and getting a 330 touring euro spec would be cool if you could wait. However it would be very expensive. I would say importing would be a good idea if you have the cash.
Dude its so weird with the electric sunshade, my dashboard has the button for it, but the sunshade itself is missing. I do have one laying around in my other broken bmw, but I imagine its a pain to install
I could swear I added a comment and question yesterday!? Anyhow Evan if you see this, I really enjoy your vids, although I don't have any skills to attempt most of what you accomplish. At any rate, I have a 2002 e46 330Cic bought new. Now has 113K miles on it only. Want to put on folding mirrors and have power front seats - driver only is memory. What brand do you suggest I buy? I have seen 1A Auto has them on their site - a pair for about $380 I think. Paul
Love this TH-cam channel… anyone have the problem with battery drain from the shifter light staying on when the car is shut off and no key 330ci 2001 ?
Hey nice video, i have a 330i 2005 4 door, has the glove box you mention, the electric suncover and the rear sensors, whats weird is i don't have a trunk button..lol keep on the good videos
Wsup? I really dig your channel pls help me... my e46 M-Sport doesn't have power it can't drive over 40km's , I changed plugs, replaced the dappet cover gasket bcoz it was leaking now I hear that it needs a new venos for power???
You can retrofit on your mirrors the engines to transform your normal electric folders into power folding. I can send you a TH-cam link if you want. I want to do it on my m3.
Hey Evan! Thanks for another great video! I have got the factory oem cell phone cradle and factory bluetooth, aswell as the cd-changer in the trunk. Do you know if any of these work with the avant4 radio? Cheers
@@EvanGoyuk I emailed them and apparently it is possible though I haven't found much information about it being done. Here's a tutorial on how to do it though. wiki.ibus-app.de/index.php?title=Einbindung_des_Original_BMW_CD-Wechslers
And funny thing , cops most the time think I have some shade on my windshield, because of that blue color And they all time not believe its from factory🤨🤐
Didn't even know you could get an e46 with no alarm, here in Europe they all have it, I don't know if it was standard here or if people were just more worried of being carjacked here than in the US. My poverty spec e46 that literally only has the smoker pack and the business cd (according to an online vin decoder) has an alarm.

a few of my favs: solar sunroof glass, professional radio, sirius xm radio, "performance package" (non-zhp) from bmw offered in 2006-2008
This guy is a gold mine in the e46 world, all his videos are well presented, entertaining and most importantly very helpful and informative 👍
Installing the alarm system was the first thing I did when I got my E46

Yes it is rare
I've been trying to find an interior set for my convertible, and it's virtually impossible. I have only found one seat, torn to all hell, and the door card. I saw an entire interior set go for well over $7,000. At this point, i'm considering "re-dying"
I have natural brown paired with orient blue on my 325Xi on mine. Quite a rare option pairing from what I’ve seen
That garage door function is sick, too bad UK don’t have none of that.

Another rare option would be the solar powered sunroof sunshade with built in exhaust fans. I only know of one car here in California that has that option
I have hear of that. That is crazy
Evan Goyuk you can find one TH-cam video of it in action if you search E46 solar ventilation
My dad's old 2001 BMW E46 325Ci Convertible had extended leather and it wasn't an M3/Individual it was just an Imola Rot-II M-Packet Convertible
Crazy xx I have several of these rare options on my 1999 328.
Interesting, some of these to me was fairly common. So in South Africa I owned up to 4x E46s.
1x 318i 2004 (sold) - Have 6cd changer + manual blind + PDC
3x 330i 2001,2002,2003 (still own all 3) - Have 6cd changer + automatic blind, although only the 2003 has the PDC
Do wish I had PDC in all of them.
Would love to have power folding mirrors and seats.
It seems some of these options were just uncommon in the US market
Another Item you missed, headlights that are self leveling. They go up and down as a self test when you turn them on!
I retrofitted power fold mirrors on my E46 convertible with memory seats and mirrors, I am in UK and used purple bottomed switch and mirrors with 11 wires. I only needed the switch and mirrors al wiring etc is in place.
my e46 convertible had a homelink mirror optioned in by my grandfather back in the day. sadly the mirror was also an auto-dimming one and it broke, and the only trustworthy mirrors we could find were non-homelink.
hey evan doing gr8 mate.. luv ur content.. come a long way since first ones.. keep em rolling!

oh but I have the drivers gloves box! was handy when installing my angel eyes.. easier access for a rhd install..wiring to the other side
thinking installing a kill switch too for the eyes.. for stealth mode when in the car and dont want them on !

Another rare option is the OEM umbrella that goes on the passenger side trans tunnel with the clips that install into the carpet. So hard to find that.
Guess I wrote too long of a comment.
Anyways love the videos, nice to see the e46 getting some attention and love
Cinnamom extended leather dash with cinnamom M3 front/back seats and cinnamom gearbox and parking brake leather parts also, All in my 330Cd in Europe. But veeeeery expensive you can count on 5000/6000€+ for this set 👍🏻
A lot of uk e46 has the phone and Bluetooth function and the shark fin Ariel, but most people take out the phone holder and install cup holders instead
Yes the euro/uk cars have the cubby space under the steering wheel
It would be really nice to see your car with every option retrofitted inside and out
I will once I retrofit the rear sun shade 😀
I have an oem alligator leather interior. Have never seen it anywhere else and cant find info. Hope this video covers it.
I have the power folding mirrors on my 325ci e46 because of you and everyone who has an e 46 loves it
Haha thanks man
My E46 330ci Clubsport came with extended leather dashboard I used to have a grey interior and the dashboard was half black then half matching leather to my interiors
That’s so cool!
@@EvanGoyuk I've since changed it to a full black interior
Look forward to your updates mate 👍
Thank you
Got most of these apart from phone holder thing and the garage door opener
What about the compass in the rearview mirror? I think it's pretty rare option. Trying to find one for my 318d Touring 2004 which has the PDC, alarm, driver compartment, Bluetooth and phone console (not suitable for new phones so changed with cupholders), 6 CD changer with an MP3 CD (retrofitted and really hard to find) and the not mentioned 2 x 12V power sockets for the rear passengers.
Also the sunroof is pretty rare in Europe I guess. Could you do a video about the different options to use it as I guess mine is not properly tilted :/ but can't find a video about it.
Keep the good work!
can u post a link to pics of the 2 x 12v sockets for rear? I'm about to want to add and like to do it OEM !!
@@beyondtheicewall4417 just write "e46 rear power sockets" in Google. There are also links to forums.

I always thought that my e46 had a very light chameleon tint. It is amazing to find out what it actually is.😂
Awesome video,good info. Thanks buddy
Thank you
My coupe has two cup holders in rear armrest i didnt see any of has it
That’s so cool. I have not seen that either
@@EvanGoyuk and two lighter place with +12volt for rear passengers in the middle its rare i think

@@beyondtheicewall4417 ok i will
@@beyondtheicewall4417 ohh u can see its in my videos, no need to post it
Extended leather was offered on certain coupes and sedans too
Hi Evan. I have been wanting to get an E46 Touring MT for quite some time, however I have seen some figures that less than 2000 were ever sold in the US. Because this number is so low, I have fewer options and have to pay a pretty heavy rarity-tax on them. Therefore, I have come to the conclusion that I must import the car from Germany. I think this is a better option for of a few reasons. I will be getting a German maintained car, I can get a car with lower mileage, and it won’t have that horrific New England rust E46’s tend to get. The drawbacks are obvious in that I won’t see the car for quite some time, I’ll have to go through a dealer, and it will be a long, arduous process. However, I may be able to get the 330 Touring version since that was never sold in the US (325iT were the only wagon versions sold of the E46). I also could possibly import an M5 touring from the early 90’s if I save up more money. Do you think importing an E46 Touring to Massachusetts is a good idea? I don’t have unlimited money because I am going to college next year, however I do know that I can make around 15 grand by next summer if I get a 2nd job. If you were to give your opinion, that would be greatly appreciated!
I think importing would be a really cool thing to do and getting a 330 touring euro spec would be cool if you could wait. However it would be very expensive. I would say importing would be a good idea if you have the cash.
buying an auto wagon and swapping it would be a more cost effective plan because I’ve seen wagons in mass for under 5k all day
Have you ever heared about retrofiting rear view camera on standard navigation system?
I've done that and it works perfect 😁
Yes I have
you should make a vid about it, I think it would be outstanding for the viewers, there is no many vids about it
Keep up with great content, cheers
Todorovic I don’t have the oem navigation
Dude its so weird with the electric sunshade, my dashboard has the button for it, but the sunshade itself is missing. I do have one laying around in my other broken bmw, but I imagine its a pain to install
Cutting it is the worse part
There are some really really rare options, like thicker panels and laminated glass, it adds quite a bit more kg but yeah..
I could swear I added a comment and question yesterday!? Anyhow Evan if you see this, I really enjoy your vids, although I don't have any skills to attempt most of what you accomplish. At any rate, I have a 2002 e46 330Cic bought new. Now has 113K miles on it only. Want to put on folding mirrors and have power front seats - driver only is memory. What brand do you suggest I buy? I have seen 1A Auto has them on their site - a pair for about $380 I think. Paul
I think you should get oem PF mirrors you will need another mirror module. Mirrors and purple switch
Love this TH-cam channel… anyone have the problem with battery drain from the shifter light staying on when the car is shut off and no key 330ci 2001 ?
Is parking distance sensor really rare? Proud to have it in my 316i.
Also do you think that folded backseats option were popular back in the days?
I have folding seats
No sure if they were rare
Europe i see pdc in 7/10 e46
@@azeechrroby2138 on the other hand these can be from aftermarket.
6:10 actually i belive there were 2 options for the CD changer , a trunk mounted alpine and glove box mounted nakamichi
I have never heard of the glove box one
the one option i want to retrofit to my e46 coupe is heated seats i assume it is prewired for it and the button right
I don’t think it is pre wired
I bought an e46 325ci this weekend.
Question: can the power seats be replaced with manual seats ?
Yes
Wish I could find e46 sedan side mirrors with signal flashers?
Hey nice video, i have a 330i 2005 4 door, has the glove box you mention, the electric suncover and the rear sensors, whats weird is i don't have a trunk button..lol keep on the good videos
That’s so weird no trunk button
I dont have either 2004 sedan
Wsup? I really dig your channel pls help me... my e46 M-Sport doesn't have power it can't drive over 40km's , I changed plugs, replaced the dappet cover gasket bcoz it was leaking now I hear that it needs a new venos for power???
do you know where to get manuals for programming/coding bmw particularly e46 using inta?
Rear instigate Child seats and telephone GSM is rare and my meergrun e46 has it an may more

Dislikes from e46 compact users😂.
Hi, I have a E46 convertible and I’m looking for the power folding mirrors but is is hard to find, have you got any idea where to buy them??
eBay
However you’re going to need to search worldwide
You can retrofit on your mirrors the engines to transform your normal electric folders into power folding. I can send you a TH-cam link if you want. I want to do it on my m3.
Make a video on the e46 alarm please 🙏🏻
I have one
Evan Goyuk can you share a link pls?
Hello, god job!!
Can u help me? I have older navi to update for de "new" navi bmw what i need? Thanks
my 2005 330cic m sport came with pdc beeping.
Hey Evan!
Thanks for another great video!
I have got the factory oem cell phone cradle and factory bluetooth, aswell as the cd-changer in the trunk. Do you know if any of these work with the avant4 radio?
Cheers
You would have to email them on that to see if it is supported.
@@EvanGoyuk I emailed them and apparently it is possible though I haven't found much information about it being done. Here's a tutorial on how to do it though. wiki.ibus-app.de/index.php?title=Einbindung_des_Original_BMW_CD-Wechslers
that windshield sure looks cool but it ruins your GPS if you use your phone.
Mine has manual seats with power mirrors 😂
Yes that was an option which is weird to me. Why have manual seats but power folding mirrors?
@@EvanGoyuk weight
I have e46 original m-sport Compact. Bodykit is different than different e46
7:50 what i was Selling my EU Dashboard für 50€ LOL 😂🙈🤷🏻♂️
Ive got a electric sun shade in the rear
You can buy the extended leather dash but it’s super rare and expensive 10 grand
Can i add the folding mirrors option on my 2001 coupe e46 .
Yes
@@EvanGoyuk mine has couple cables on the mirror connect. Do i online use the Button in the door panel ?
Could you repeat that?
@@EvanGoyuk i have some pictures of my mirrors and cable . Can i send it to you
My 328ci e46 has all these features from factory located australia
Edit video to add the harmon kardon subwoofer i have in my 328ci
I don’t like extended leather on my 330cd tho
In Europe it’s not so rare, as mostly coupes are well equipped
Does the E46 compact been sold in US??
No it was not
@@EvanGoyuk in Europe is very very common to have PDC on e46, as seat heaters and photochromatic mirror
I have GCC spec
And its has almost all of these options ,its normal here not rare
Only the phone and security alarm is not available
And funny thing , cops most the time think I have some shade on my windshield, because of that blue color
And they all time not believe its from factory🤨🤐
What rims do you have on your e46?
The e46 in the thumbnail is not mine. However I have a set of staggered OEM ZHP style 135 rims also known as MV2s in Europe
my euro e46 has the electric rear sunshade, sadly its broken
That’s unfortunate
@@EvanGoyuk especially when the replacements are soooo expensive a d rare to find
I have foldable mirrors in compact
That’s sick! I love the power folding mirrors
Love my full leather
its also rare to have a slicktop sedan e46.
Hi Evan, if you want something from europe, look on facebook marketplace in Croatia
Thank you!
11:40 any 316i in EU has PDC LOL 😂🤣😋
Didn't even know you could get an e46 with no alarm, here in Europe they all have it, I don't know if it was standard here or if people were just more worried of being carjacked here than in the US.
My poverty spec e46 that literally only has the smoker pack and the business cd (according to an online vin decoder) has an alarm.
please do the alarm video and do a video about legendary and rare e46's models
keep it up
I will definitely be creating both!
alarm video please
On it
