RoyalFlushness's 2001 Imola Red E46 M3

Nice e46! Do you still own your e90?

Thank you. I actually sold my E90 M3 2 months ago. I owned the car for over 10 years and it lost it's specialness to me. I sold it to an enthusiast who's going to take care of it. My plan was to sell the E90 M3 and the E46 M3 and get into a 997 Porsche or 996 Turbo but I have other cars, toys and aspirations and think the simplicity and ease of maintenance of the E46 fits my current lifestyle.

Car looks amazing, love the stance. How are you liking the Pole Positions ABE? And how tall are you?

Love them. I am almost 6 foot. They changed the entire dynamic of the car and are much more comfortable than standard FIA Pole Position (wider at the hip).

The typical side mirror paint issues on these I am getting resolved and getting both doors resprayed while I am at it with fresh Glasurit. The doors and mirrors were the only part of the car other than the roof that weren't hit with fresh paint and you can kind of tell when the sun hits it that its faded compared to the rest

I looked at all 7 pages of this thread. I love what you've done with the whole car. The whole time I was saying "why didnt he paint the door"? ahaha. Then I saw you painted it.

The LED tails were such a sweet upgrade.

Coming from an 01 myself this same exact LED tail light retrofit ran me a lot of money back in 2006 when I did it. We didnt have coding yet back then so a new LCM and trip to the dealership was a must. Luckily my friend worked there at the time so I was able to source the parts at discount and he coded the new LCM to my car for free. I knew I had to have the tail lights though. To top it all off I was able to get a later model HVAC control unit as well. Its pretty much the same setup except the buttons are shifted around a little differently.

I would make one suggestion.. either replace the lower bumper grille or tape around it and use some plastidip. It'll really refresh the front.

Excellent work on the car otherwise. Keep up the fine modding.
