New Build. 3 15" Sundown SA-15`s BMW Wagon


Recommended Posts

I LOVE the e46 3 series. I'll be tuned into this one for sure :)

Edit: Holy interests batman

Thx..dude feel free to leave comments

Yeah SnowDrifter, the e46 is probably my favorite BMW Chassis to date. The wagon is awesome, because it has a lot of power, corners like its on rails, gets good gas mileage, and still looks mean with a set of rims on it.. Acoustics are great too, but with such a large roof on it, it flexes a lot, and Im always worried that Im going to damage the sunroof. lol

b-eazy, The Hum is going to be (In peter griffins voice) "Freakin Sweet" ... Pat is doing a great job on it... I so wish that my wife would let me buy a hoe or burban, Id give anything to build a ground pounder. Closest I ever got was 4 15 inch kickers and two 12`s in a Mazda b2600i extend cab. Of course that was in 1998.. Since then Ive had to play family man, and now that I have kids its even worse. lol,, wifey has a 2 door honda accord, my vehicle was two door as well, she told me I needed a 4 door car to haul the kiddos around since theyre always with me, so the Beemer fit the bill. Now im squishing all I can in there for sound, while still trying to maintain visibility in the rear view mirror (that doesnt stay put by the way, i mean its bolted to the roof, but keeps tilting down, so its useless lol). Anyway, congrats on the H2 that is going to be a beast.

Thanks, I get mixed reviews on the wheels, there are those who love them, and those who say its too much chrome.. lol either way theyre on there, at least until I sell my old mercedes, if I do that, then Im looking at an eibach lowering kit, and some 20`s, maybe... Right now im focusing on getting the sound system back, because I pulled the kickers out over 4 months ago. I go to college, and also am a stay at home dad, so I dont have much spare time. With no subs in the car, I dont even want to listen to music, so I basically hate driving, especially because all I hear are two kids arguing in the back seat (where I used to be able to drown that out ha ha ).

Id love to hear that thing, but im stuck here in little craphole Arkansas and dont get to travel much anymore. what state you in?

Naw.. Clutter away...

Since the build pics are all in the link in the first post, then there is really nothing to clutter.

I have a 1996 C220, 2.5 inch Eibach lowering kit, 18 inch forte rims.. It has the ski pass hole in the back seat, so I pulled out the back seat, cut out the wall entirely, then added some small bracing.. I then built a box for two 15 inch solo L7`s that fire into the car,, before putting the box in the car, I attached heavy wool around the front baffle, placed it into the car, then pulled the wool up and folded it over the area that I cut out, covered the wool in fiberglass resin, basically sealing the front baffle away from the trunk, then replaced the back seat. This gave really good output and zero rattle in the trunk.

I love the car, but it has front and rear main seals leaking. I just have absolutely no time to replace them, (even though I ordered them a year ago)... I have a buddy with a shop and a lift, but everytime I get a few dollars, its gone.. being in college full time, and being a stay at home dad keeps us pretty broke right now, but I only have less than a year left and ill have my bachelors.

Kool...stay in school. .. ;) then u will get $$$ fo sho ...education is the key....

you know thats right....

I just hate that I had to go back so late. But to be honest, I didnt really need a degree before. Ive been in I.T. for 18 years professionally and have made excellent money. But with the economy like it has been, people are no longer hiring freaking geniuses with certifications, they want people with a piece of paper (a degree) lol.. Since I have two kiddos, I had to do something to ensure a better future for them...

Anyway, it was coo to chat for a bit, hit me up anytime,

Im out yo... its 2:15 here and I have two finals tomorrow.

One...

Tuned. Nice car.

I will say one thing though. You're better off adding the pictures to this thread, people are very lazy and having to click a link, flick through then come back to make a comment on a picture they can't quote will make things too much trouble.

i shook this one kids hand and it just folded in mine. long story short i fucked his girlfriendso.. yeah..

You want this to happen to you? Give decent handshakes people.

i deleted your "interests" section on the side.... stupidly long.

No offense, I do appreciate your tenacity in making the forum a more productive entity, but in the future please contact me first in regards to something on my personal profile before you take the liberty of making changes to it. If it was "Stupidly" long, you could simply have PM`d me and I would have gladly altered it to meet the criteria.

Emmet, Thanks.

I will probably later this afternoon. I was going to last night, but I posted too many pictures in one post and it wouldnt let me update. Being so late at night I just canceled and went to bed. Ill probably get around to doing it later this afternoon after finals. For convenience, do you know the maximum number of pics per post? If not Ill search for the answer when I get home...
