Haha you don’t know the half of it. It’s a condition.

So a few weeks ago, after 13 years of ownership and at 245k miles I sold my arctic silver e36 m3.





I taught myself to sew on that interior. And I honestly thought those days were behind me. But instead of sending out the rear e46 seat out to get redone to match the front Nogaro Munich's, I decided to just do it myself. There is really nothing online on how to take apart the seat backs, so here are some pics for those that are wondering.







I also came across a can of Arctic Silver paint I’d completely forgotten about, so I decided to repaint the SMG shifter console with it. Just to bring a small piece of my E36 into the new car. I ended up changing my mind about the bezel as well and swapped in the Storm version to match the knob.





I am basically twiddling my thumbs waiting to get the car back. I cleaned up the side grills, and replaced the emblems, exciting stuff haha.
