man I miss my E46 M3. hole in my heart.

any new updates w/ the white iX?

I'm glad I never let my M3 go last yr....almost did for a 997S, but these E46s are slowly becoming more sought after.

waiting on new OEM body parts. had to cancel my order due to insane shipping costs.. re-ordered from dealer.

E30M3, then E46M3. rest is way way down in the ranks. maybe a 1 series M 3rd. let's hope the M2 kills it.

I feel like the e36 M3 deserves a place in the ranks of great M's, but the US version ruined it. The euro one was a real ///M engine, the motor is very closely related from the S54 (from what I've read) and it also came with a 6 speed.

well said. should add euro E36 M3 to the list. ironically, none of the newer M3s/M4s would fit that description. I want a REAL M motor dammit.

Right?!? I absolutely love that headunit....the settings it has is endless, and really woke up the stock premium speakers. Did u paint the surrounding trim matte black?

Sure! I used Prismatic Powders brand "Porsche silver". Had my powdercoater use a semi-gloss clear (not matte or glossy).

i *used* to go up to that area often when i was seeing my ex from up there, but i only drive by there during the winters on my way to Vermont.

installed a new fan last week, since the old one exploded (fan blades sheared off)...

just swapped out for a new ICV valve, hose and air pump valve....picked up a new trunk seal & rear vent seals.

Also freshed up my headlight rings....soaked them in laquer thinner to strip the old paint, etched primed & shot them w/ trim paint.

[audiquattrot]

New grill and kidney clips to replace the old rusty ones

[audiquattrot]

Repainted rings installed...they were chipped up to hell from all the highway driving and salt

[litu]

Those headlight looks to me way better when those rings are in black
