Zen and the Art of E46 M3 Ownership

[Bimma360]

🤤...Love this car, great work. I respect your desires to DD it, but I couldn't imagine just driving it to local Office depot and back. This car reminds of me a Bimmerlife article a while back talking about point A-to-A cars.

Reading you WTB thread on gearing; 4.10's on those PA roads would be awesome esp with the SMG, imo.

I’ll be sure to snap a pic on its first run to Home Depot haha.

Got the driver CSL door panel installed, and moved on to the rear deck.

I didn't want to delete the 2.5" rear side speakers, so I moved them to the rear deck. Those little enclosures weren't so easy to find haha. Installed new C-pillar trim, and mostly buttoned up back there!



I'll have the rest of the trim and panels installed pretty quickly, so I got cracking on the shifter console carbon trim. Wet sanded through 1000 grit paper. I need to do a post cure at 140*F for 6 hours. I am sure there will be some imprinting, so will start with 1000 again and work my way up through 2000. Then polish. I am using resin with a UV additive, so no clear necessary. Just lots and lots of sanding hahah.
