Whenever I see one of those nicely restored E30 3-series on the street, I always find them ultimately inspiring. Get real, today is 2012 and even the latest E30 is 20 years old already. Seeing one that’s been well maintained and fitted reminded me just how much of automotive passions are out there among Indonesians. This E46 we are featuring today I believe will one day be the future classic. The E46 might have not turned into so much of a classic for those who grew up when the E46 was launched. Jump 10-20 years from now, however, such rides will surely attract more of your attention compared to even the latest 3-Series.

Sticking with OEM and Euro style upgrades, Eduard revolved his E46 modifications around the AC Schnitzer line up of parts. From bodykit, wheels, pedal set and emblems, all these parts inherit the timeless ACS designs. While most of the parts were taken from the ACS E46 catalogue, however, the wheels are very much weren’t. Eduard chose the 5-Series offset to obtain that aggressive stance. Coupled with APEX springs and Bilstein shocks, the wheels are fitted as good as a tailored suit. Picture perfect.

As an extension to the Euro style modifications, Eduard has also installed those Euro plates and plate holders. Don’t be fooled, the ride is actually located and Jakarta and our very own Jakarta photographer did the shoot. Playing with lights in an abandoned parking lot, Winston J has beautifully captured this tremendously clean E46.

Apart from the exterior and wheels, Eduard has also worked on the interior of the car. Subtle OEM mods such as Titanium shift knob, M3 steering wheel, Harman Kardon speaker system and M Sport leather seats all add up to the classy feel of the cabin.
