    Where did you go to get your dents pulled? I have a few in my car that I want gone. Including when my sister closed the garage door on the top of my car . How much did you pay? And if you did everything yourself I now feel like an idiot.

              I love threads like this. Love it even more since it's an M42iS :).

              Engine bay looks great! More!

                Few updates on whats been done.

                All trims removed and the entire car has been color sanded and buffed. Next is to remove the struts and replace the spring pads hoping to lower the front a bit more. Install new IS side skirts and redo the interior. Install the MD chip and then enjoy my new daily driver. I also bought a new set of 16' Alpina wheels ;) so I might resell my RS003. Ill post it for $2500 with tires including a 5th wheel in gold as a spare. Wheels are all in perfect condition and tires are Yokohama AVID (rare) 205/50/16. Pm me if anyones interested. I prefer a local sale. :) Thanks

                          this question is probably gonna make me look like a complete tool but what is the benefits of "color sanding"?
