Project Louise

About this Build

Literally a barn find, 2005 BMW E46 M Sport package in rare Imola Red. Bought the car from the first owner only had 46K KM on the clock.

I wanted to build a new project just to satisfy the kid in me. Basically, my vision was to keep this in OEM build so people who sees it hopefully appreciate the timeless beauty of a BMW; less is more.

First thing I did was had it paint corrected and slight retouch because of the sun burn damages. While it’s in the paint shop I had it modernized, installed Car Play & sound system. Then, i noticed one thing’s missing para san pang naka BMW kung wala ang iconic na angel eyes? haha. Replaced all lights to LED & OEM set of taillights, OEM Kidney Grill. Finally, mags. this one was very difficult, up until now im still considering to change. I wanted to go for meaty look kase and aggressive looking, ayoko ng sobrang low profile, so nagkabit ako ng 18x8.5/9.5 on 245&265/40/18, kaya labas talaga yung gulong pero idk somehow na aappreciate ko talaga e. bawal nga lang mag sakay ng 4.

That sums up my 1 and a half month build with Project Louise.
