So, this thing was ok but never really did it for me. So, got one of these It's a V8 mate It's in the hole It's quite tight It's got some engine mounts It's also got some new control arm mounts Still lots to do but hopefully we'll be sorted Oct-Nov or there abouts.

8M3 now has a soulmate that lives and breathes. Took it for a short test run. 90% complete.

"Proof of funds"? Come on! I could understand if you were selling something desirable, but a 20 year old car worth a couple of grand? Stop stroking yourself

Cleaned the filth out of boaty and fixed a few non working lights. No idea how it passed a wof two weeks ago... Also installed some sweet new bucket seats, got them for a steal!!

They are easy to get to. Takes about 10 minutes to get the door card off with care and also disconnect battery. Passenger door air bag can be seen here ( note this was taken prior to replacement) Front pillars also come off reasonably easy. Tabs can be a bit brittle from what I hear though.

Yes it sure does, but like all factory cupholders I've experienced, they don't handle G-Force well I'm loving the manual, it's too cold at the moment for any sunroof action as my heater doesn't blow hot, only luke warm which previous owner's mechanic said the heater taps need bled. Apart from that, the headliner starting to drop slightly in a couple places, and the door card fabric coming away a bit too, that's all that's needing attention really. Payed $5500 for it and it had 164kms on it. As for exhaust, was looking at the reamus muffler and see how far I want to go after that maybe cat delete.

Will see what we can do about coding it to be a true "e46 M3 Touring"

Got a few more goodies today! Smoked corners and gloss black kidney grills with matching side gills. I must say the fitment is not great at all (from Khoalty) and I will be asking for an exchange or refund based on the quality. Nevertheless I installed them temporarily. I also popped into see George as he installed his Agency Power Exhaust. We took a little video with the cars side by side. Video link is below. The Agency Power starts first... Agency Power ESQ vs. Supersprint Race A2K The two M's together: Day shot with new steering wheel: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks remarkably like my sons Hot Wheels cars Each to their own, I guess. A rotary repower probably isn't too much to swallow, it was designed by a German after all. That sound, though

bahahahahahah Thank you for saying what we were all thinking!

Fitted some OG ali dagger handle to my dipstick. I must be bored.

It shouldn't be too difficult to cut a massive square and retain the guard the make that work with the existing. I dont think there is any point mincing around with trying to cut and paste on the actual guard itself. The rear doors will need a bump out to match the curve and the fuel cap and the rear sill will be the hardest part I think as its quite different. Still it will alllllllllll be worth it for sure. No point taking any easy way out panel jobs on this one .. as you said youre going to the effort to unstitch the rear boot floor to accomodate the exhaust, might as well put the same effort into getting the rear guards perfect.

simple yes, good no has too many reflections meaning tuning will be an issue for ignition timing

if you need a new latch let me know , 2 types

Big thanks to `Jooles` for the Hammann style foglight surround/air ducts.
