    My car had the older glass with locks and adhesive, so take care to remove. New glass snapped in.
    One of the best things to do, ive done this on all of my cars.

          had a good buddy of mine model and test print the mesh for a CSL bumper hole - appears this part may be going NLA and it's the only thing missing from the mile end bumper that just showed up 😀

                Did the 'ol heat gun trick on my faded seatbelts. Takes tinfoil and a lot of patience. Huge difference. Only got to the rears so far, my fronts might be too far gone - we'll see (UPDATE: they are indeed to far gone and started bubbling from the heat - if anyone is selling any in restorable shape hit me up!). Would recommend.

                  Funny, I was cleaning my seats the other day and noticed how bad my seat belts looked - not something I've come across or noticed before, then a quick google search provided plenty of info. Will definitely be taking care of them, that looks great.

                    Yeah - go "low and slow". I had my heat gun set to 500 on the low setting. The rear ones took a long time (5-10) minutes of heat to start changing color. Just keep the heat gun moving at all times. When I tried my fronts (too far gone), they changed color after a minute and started bubbling. Probably not as much material to work with, so it went much quicker but bubbled 'em up. Doesn't look worse, though. I wonder if I can just somehow swap out the red pieces. I have some spare rears that I bought from a part out to test on first. Gonna try and take them apart to see if I can get that red piece out and somehow swap it into my fronts because the front receptacle is one big piece with the tensioner and not cheap new.

                          Took my Estoril out of the garage for the first time since 2021 and went for a ride! No wonder this car stay low mileage. It really is a garage queen.

                          Main reason is due to my garage shape itself. It’s in my basement and made of two differents rooms. To move it from back room to main garage, it needs to be on dollys and only 7’ wide opening between 2 rooms. I’ve been working on differents M3s I owned those past years and also different projects cars. So Estoril M3 stayed under the OEM 4 seasons cover and sometimes been used as a shelf for differents CF parts when garage is too full…

                          Now switching place with my new project/Silver M3. Doing a full overhaul to this M3 so won’t get out of garage before 2025 for sure!​
