USDM E46 from Japan!

Oh, the powers of internet! Most of you may remember this BMW from last week. It was one of the cars we posted in our coverage of the USDM JAM event that was held in Japan not too long ago. Just days after we put the coverage up we received an email from Keisuke-San who happened to be the owner of the BMW! He thanked us kindly for showing off his USDM inspired BMW and asked us if we were interested in seeing more photos of it! It’s a 2001 BMW 330ci (left hand drive!) with an M3 front bumper, mirrors, etc. Side markers were also shaven off and the tails were refreshed with a set from a later model 3 series.

Keisuke-San slammed the car on XYZ coilovers and most importantly, he went with one of our favorite wheels of all times! Volks Rays CE28 in 8.5 with 0 offset and 205/35R18 tires up front, while the rears are 9.5J +18 offset and 215/35R18 tires. Stickers, plate frame, left hand drive and the overall appearance screams USDM! We’re honored that the Japanese are inspired by what we do. Drop a comment below and let Keisuke-San know how you feel about his ride. Daily driven all throughout Japan.

    The way it sits makes it look like it has 15s in the back and 18s up front.

    Looks good though, I'd just raise the rear a little.

    Japanese wheels = USDM = does not compute. Throw on CCWs and you have something with that USDM theme, there.

    @ Lumis_Wolfy : Agreed... or even Enkei's or Konig's would be USDM... car looks sick never the less...

    Awesome ! Quick question on the bolts. Where did you source them ? also, did you get away with adjusting the camber with stock hardware on the rears ? iv'e wanted to go USDM on my E46 for a year now but have struggled to source a set of rims with the correct stud pattern.
