    Took her out for a Sunday drive and that CSL symphony paired with the 4.1 FDR and great brakes is just a drive to heaven! I was missing so much during the time she was down

    Bought most of them due to desirable color combo and/or they had parts/mods on them that I wanted.

    If I get another E46, it will be a dedicated track car.

    Dang! Sad to hear this

    I put it in the garage in November and haven't driven it since. NJ likes the pound the roads with salt because everyone has a hard on with seeing blacktop every time it snows. I don't wanna subject it to that shit.

    Continuing my bumper repair saga, I applied the base coat and for the most part it came out good, but fucking novice mistake I made resulted in some splatters which will have me back to sanding land

    this has been a learning and frustrating journey but is almost there

    I had applied black sealer to help with color coverage and better matching. Sealer was supposed to be smooth but it has some texture and did not want on my finish so I had to wet sand it. But the repair is imperceptible to most

    and this is how it looks now. You can see the splatters if you look closely. The issue was that when I did some test shots, I was not pulling the trigger all the way and cause some paint to run out of the tip, which clogged on nozzle and I did not notice this until I saw the splatters but the damage was already done

    ^This was the last update I had posted on my DIY project, I ended up having to take it to a shop as it was getting very troublesome to achieve the results I wanted, so I quit painting and clearing myself.

    That said, I think the end result is great and the repair is imperceptible. I am convinced no body shop would have put the effort, done the job, or do it reasonably priced.

    I also finished my rear big brake setup with e92 rotors

    Started getting the red battery light recently, so just changed my alternator. First reman I got was noisy, so had to do the job again. But now the M3 is happy
