Can you 'apply' first or do you have to chance it when it lands?

What model M3 are we talking?

That's a good idea. Yeah wish I had the inflation option.

Yeah I wondered how eye watering it would be. Recaro CS seem to be ~$5k though, so that's the dream. I've got no idea how much. Throw a number out... what do you reckon? Messaged a couple of place but have heard back. They would want to see it I assume Think is mine are very decent for a 180k / 18 yo car - they sucked from new is half the problem. (Your seats are far superior IMO) I want to keep as OEM looking as I can (not a fan of the "RECARO" on top of some of the cheaper versions). Maybe @HELLBM have some *mint* heated e46 seats or e90 seats, but worried they might looks weird? F80?

Link by chance?

This is third party Autosure - all diesels are 10km

Oh also 10,000 km - forgot, that was the annoying one. But sounds irrelevant to you anyway. I wanted a wagon for family car - I'm converted to SUV - fast ones are pretty fun.

Not sure about towing, but teh 30d and 35d motors are awesome. They seem to be pretty reliable and higher KMs can be OK as they like long journeys. Be aware that if you get a warranty though, you have to service every year, regardless of KM. They also put up RUC recently.

I reckon my car was owned by a big boy when new as the seat has always been way less 'fitting' than every other e46 M3 I have sat it. The leather is not great either, so wondering if any one can recommend an upholsterer to i) re-bolster to 'better than OEM' ii) replace leather like OEM Anyone had this done before? Worth it? (Obviously considering new seats too) TIA

Silver on the coupe wheels looks really good!

Well that is my (part) real plate !

Cool - good luck! Start a thread!

Just the topside kit and plates (and the steering coupler from him). Do you have a thread / pics of your car?

^ oh I was assuming it was stock only. Plates clearly help and it took years for their weakness to become apparent.

Although I have changed to Depo sides, the difference in 'egg yolk' is the bulbs - orange vs. stealth silver. Pretty sure both the ones you are talking about are the same housing.

I hate that! All the US forums are filled with it and it's so annoying. Think of the BS bandwidth! The investment is worth it. You'll get (all of?) it back when you sell and you do not want a floor replacement bill. I'd bet you will have some degree of damage already. Yes it is. And yes you should. You can convert your govt plate for not as much

It’s worth doing as now the common wisdom is plates alone do not fix the flaw (floor?). I had it done with a bunch of other work, so best to talk to Ray / Hellbm. I also added the CMP solid steering coupler. I dunno if this was worth it or not - (placebo ?)

^ HELLBM installed the CMP kit (and plates). HellBM has done all the work on the car in fact. Future plans... perhaps a 4.1 diff and seat upgrade?!? (BTW that plate is tongue in cheek - I actually like SMG and would buy another in a heartbeat #SMGismanual)

Paint is 95% mint, and did want to do a full polish for 100% mint-ness, but have only had chance to clean and wax. I did repaint the CMP subframe reinforcement grey. Here are some pics...

yes, I have bought off him. Worked out sweet... well when the dollar was $0.75+ at least. High quality - no complaints. He's a bit slow and short on his replies though.
