Not a massive change TBH but they're now done. Went with a similar 'hyper silver' type colour with new M badges and centre caps. They weren't too bad beforehand but glad to get rid of the kerb marks.

Next on the shopping list. 4 new tyres.

Awesome Ryan. Looks fantastic

They look well done lad, do you see them any duller than before?

Mate bought 4 toyo’s £570 there on Saturday

 

[mcmurray]

Yeah, they’re not as ‘bling’ as the original finish. Bit duller.

Going to stick with Michelins. You can pick up a set of PS4’s for not much more than that price.

 

[mcmurray]

Michelin PS4's ordered. Decent price at the minute with a bit of discount from Blackcircles.

Outer shoulders of the front tyres (PS2's) have worn badly compared to the rest of the tyre since I've had it. Think it's a toe issue, so have it booked in for an alignment when the tyres are fitted.

That'll be the spending done for a while.

 

[Jonny]

Fantastic mate.

 

[redanni]

Love this

 

[Todd]

Perfect! Have you ever considered wheel bolt covers?

Have seen them on VAG stuff but never noticed them on BM’s before. Any links?

 

[NickR]

Love this

I second that!

I say it every time but I love your shots! The car looks absolutely class there!!

Canavans do the wheels?

 

[Carson]

Perfect !

No, they were looking £90 a wheel for a similar colour. That and feedback from another member on here who had a set done by them recently, I’ll probably not use them again.

Polished Alloys did them.

 

[TSPORT]

Probably closer to the genuine csl wheel colour.

Car looks great.

 

[WSK]

Looks Fantastic..

What springs are fitted?

Bilstein shocks and Eibach springs.

 

[Romotz3]

Bilstein shocks and Eibach springs.

Great looking car you have there. How's the performance of the suspension with the Eibach springs and Bilstein combo?

 

[mcmurray]

Few more things done since I last updated this. Still a list of jobs I want to do, but ticking them off when I can.

- 4 new PS4's on.
- New thermostat and o-rings fitted.
- Rear view mirror replaced as it had stopped dimming. A common fault and handy enough fix (~£100 for the replacement glass from Mirror John).

Still putting the miles onto it and enjoying it. First car I haven't felt the urge to change after owning it this long.

 

[mayweather]

Always looking great!

 

[Mac1987]

That Last Pic with the Sun setting In the background looks Class

 

[NickR]

Such a good looking car.

 

[migs]

@mcmurray just curious to what your camera settings were for the last sunset picture? Experimenting with my own at the minute!

Car sits and looks absolutely perfect! Hard to beat a nice clean E46!

Saw you yesterday morning at the traffic lights at Annesborough. Even in the dull morning it looked unreal.
