    I'm assuming that to install the sunroof delete panel you remove the sunroof cassette and replace it with the panel. Is any sort of reinforcement also needed? I ask because roof installs require the slicktop brace to be welded in, so I was wondering if the same was true for a sunroof delete panel.

      You don’t need any reinforcement cause there is already a reinforcement built in the roof of a sunroof M3.

            Awesome looking build! Am i mistaken that you were once upon a time (m3forum days) thinking about selling the car?

              This one is a different one. I built one E46 M3 race car per year for the last 5 years... This one is a 2003 Jet black.

              The one you saw on RIP M3forum.net was this 2002 Jet Black:

                I also built those 2 E46 M3 track cars couple of years ago. The Carbon black ZCP had a nice build thread before Photobucket went down...

                    Thought I'd go share mine. This was from the other week.
                    Currently waiting on a custom built diff to get delivered sometime in the next few weeks and also will be building a new custom exhaust next week.

                      Details on this exhaust setup? I've been trying to figure out how to do a cheap Non-M E46 type setup (like the BW single exhaust muffler) but mates to stock section 2.

                        It’s a Borla ProXS muffler dual 2.5’’ in/out. I removed the section 2 flanges and slip on the Borla muffler on section 2 and weld it directly.

                        Super quiet BTW with catless headers, straight section 1 and oem section 2.

                          Brembos are installed, and somewhat ready for time trial. Still waiting on AST to stop holding my coils hostage though. My Koni's have seen way better days.

                            Finally getting the aero in for this HPDE build. Front splitter, rear wing, and rear diffuser so far this season.

                              I meant to go to that event. I messaged you about it literally 1 day after it sold out. Probably better that I didn't go. I had an undiagnosed bad head gasket (that destroyed my engine) at the time and it probably would've killed my engine in Atlanta instead of 20 minutes from my home in Chicago.

                              Anyways, heres my car at Road America in May of 2019. Not really a track car, yet that is. I have been spending the last few years bulletproofing the car and im finally at the point where I can really start tailoring it. All the work is done... its time for some play

                                Man...there are some beautiful builds here. Making me real jealous. I have been slowly making some progress with wire thinning and basic weight reduction.

                                I'll throw out a question here because I figure y'all will know best. What would your order of operations be if you had to choose? Most* maintenance and reliability issues have been addressed and you had the remaining tasks, among others. Plates installed, CMP topside to be installed with front extension.

                                1. Cooling System Refresh (Car is at 105k, I figure most people will recommend this first)
                                2. Cage, Seats, Harness
                                3. Interior Overhaul
                                4. Weight Reduction (CF Roof, Hood, ...Doors...)
                                5. Aero
                                6. Data Logging and Video
                                7. AEM Gauges (Kind of tempting me now with interior out)
                                8. BBK and Brake Cooling
                                9. Power (Exhaust, Cams, Tune)
                                10. Additional Safety Items (Fire Supression, Cutoffs etc.)

                                I am stuck in the "add to cart, remove from cart, phase of my build and can't make my mind up. Any advice is appreciated.
