Isnt she lovely?

[shimmy]

Not on about Glendogs bird (although she is) but sat outside at Costa before she went in for rust repairs and decided not to sell her again

[83SY]

Your not thinking of selling are you Shim? :banghead:

[Barry C]

Where did you get rust?

I had an aweful time keeping rust out of my old e36? I didn't know the e46 was prone also?

[billyboysm3]

Man UP Shimmy!!!

She's not worth selling. If your getting bored get a e36 M3 or e46 M3, strip it, stiffen it up and race it!!!

[shimmy]

found rust on the door lock catches and mirror bases

found rust on the door lock catches and mirror bases

Did BMW pay for this?
A friend with an M3 has really bad rust under paintwork on both door mirror mounts but said 'sorry not covered as it's not part of the bodywork'! I Didn't quite believe what he told me and would have gone fookin mad, insisting it being done.

My friend had this covered on his mirror bases on a regular e46 M3

[s.mac]
