My Estoril Blue E46 M3 Cab

I got a quick bit of Caliper painting done before the rain came this afternoon.
Having the wheels on and off, really has put me in the notion for a set of Spacers... but part of me hates the thought of them!

Well, the hoist is working well & I can have the hard top off on my own in 3-4 minutes now (it takes longer to screw the eyelets in).

I got some more bits done in the garden this afternoon & me and the wee lad got out for a quick drive before the sun went down

Today, the car got a rear caliper refurb.

I had noticed one back wheel dragging a bit, getting warm and squealing when reversing. A good drive last weekend didn't really sort it, so I ordered a rebuild kit.

It was fairly straightforward to fit, but I had one bleeder shear off, so I need to persuade it out & get everything bled, which will be a job for later in the week.

Yes, it seems to divide opinion to be fair! lol

Its been a BMW Dealer fit item back in the car's early years. I dont mind it so much.

A great day for it. C&C Duncrue in the morning, a run up to Windy gap in the afternoon

The chrome looks totally different on a Silver car. Wrap it Satin black?

That actually looks much better! Think it'd stick out like a sore thumb on a silver car though... something to think about next year when it comes out of hibernation
