Just installed an El Diablo exhaust, and have Euro Headers coming in. The dilemma now is that I really like the tone and volume of just the ED muffler (everything else is stock). Regarding the headers, other than the slight power increase, how much is sound really affected in terms of volume and rasp? Trying to avoid the install and "wish I would've kept it the same" situation, being that I like how it sounds now.

I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I like the look of the BMW CCA badges.
It seems like 99.9% of E46 owners put them in the kidney grille.
But I think the lower grille looks a lot better, but it's so rare I had to photoshop this. Looks like it'd be tricky to install without removing the bumper too.
Anyone rocking the CCA badge?? Putting here to avoid getting flamed, haha.

depending on mileage, I would also replace the precat o2 sensors.

There are 2 part numbers listed, however (besides the grey color one). Just search both and you'll see which is the most recent or used by part retailers.DD: /// 2011.5 Jerez/bamboo E90 M3 · DCT · Slicktop · Instagram

My car came with stickers in the door jambs "Side Airbag Not Operational". Putting my internet sleuthing skills to good use, the general consensus is that these were either disabled by the dealer or shipped from BMW that way. Not sure which rumor is true, both seem plausible.
Regardless, my questions are:
1. Does this apply to only the rear side airbags? (rear seats) Presumably this does not apply to the front door-mounted airbags, which are still operable?
2. Since these rear seat airbags are deactivated, can I remove them altogether? Or will my car throw an airbag fault code?Build thread: Topaz Blue to Shark Blue
