Looks nice.

wtf? I thought the adjustable seat was standard on the M3's?

Congrats on the purchase! You would have done very very well to get a white E46 M3.

Koing

There is manual, power with lumbar and power with lumbar plus width adjustment. Then M-cloth, partial leather and full Nappa leather

Definitely going to mod it. First probably the smoked corners, CF fender grills and maybe a CSL trunk lid. Some upgrades to the speakers/sub. Upgrade the navigation to current and add in iPod integration. Figure out the security I have.

I want the 3.91 rear end...maybe intake and a tune. Debating exhaust mods just due to not wanting an obnoxious car...

The blemishes I want to get sorted out right away...not bad at all though.

500 blemishes, that's the number I figured when I was a kid. Fix 500 blemishes and you could consider yourself a legitimate detailer. You need them for experience. Fix up the leather seats too. So I got started. Of course along the way you stop thinking about being perfect and all that. It stops being the point. You get past the silliness of it all. But then, after, you realize that's what you are.

Love it, good choice. My favourite year for that car, and you've got the CSL-style steering wheel. Awesome.

That car I was already in negotiations on and found it on autotrader.

I swear you can't understand simple English or something.

I don't see that you said that anywhere prior to just now...looks to me like you offered a finder's fee then backed out.

Please link me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that I am.

grey cars are so boring. Sorry. This screams "meh" to me.

I prefer silver to white. White is too bland. Especially if its a silver metallic. I like how it sparkles in the sun. Anyway, that M3 is a sweet ride and I like the color and those wheels on that car.

Perhaps he realized he is one of them and that he shouldn't self-hate.
Truer words were never spoken.

Although, I am a bit jelly... Congrats Alky!
