    Thanks brad! I know the repairs are prob going to resurface, but it should hold it over for another yr. the sunroof panel I think is a problematic area tho. I keep seeing small rust bubbles starting to pop up slowly. Gonna try to replace that nxt yr....same with the passenger side mirror as the base is beginning to rust as well.

    As far as the head unit....I love getting into the car every day and listening to that thing. Completely transformed the premium sound!

      just ordered these race ramps, since I'm tired of having to remove the E30 iS lip every time I do an oil change (which is like every month lol). Plus the E46 is lowered now, and the rhino ramps I have (even w/ 2x4's) just misses clearing the front bumper.

        got new Race Ramps today, now i don't have to remove the iS lip every time i do an oil change. Had to remove it using the rhino ramps since the grade/incline was too steep for the lip. These clear perfectly.

              Here's a great lift for oil changes or any under car maintenance .... http://ezcarlift.com/. Been using this for years. Best tool I've got.

                Not sure if spam or not, but $1,850 for that lift is kind of pricey. I think my dad installed his scissor lift (pics in my build thread) for less than $2,200

                  I don't think scissor jacks allow you access to the middle of the car to pull the transmission? I do love the castors to move the car for the additional penny!

                    My dads lift is to separate lifts working as one. If you have the room for a post lift its definitely the way to go, but this wasn't bad for the money.

                      I have been reviewing this thread for a while. Your cars are very nice. My goal is to get my 91ix running smooth and hopefully looking half as good as yours is. Damn nice work!

                            got a new CSL diffuser for the M3.



                            and refreshed the calipers using G2 caliper paint.
