Thanks!
In for inspection 2 and Eibach pro’s.
Wasn’t your grey E92 parked outside ?
Nope, wasn’t me! Seen it too though, looked pretty thuggish!

Back from Colm Hyland and needing a clean...
Full Inspection 2, brake service and Eibachs fitted.
Clean bill of health- actually said was maybe the cleanest he’d seen esp underneath where all the factory wax was still in place and not even a mark on the brake pipes etc...so that’s a relief!
Got the remote CSL map from a Cutters sponsor, gives the CSL bump (obv without the carbon airbox- but adds a MAF workaround) and has the CSL SMG rev-matching etc, drive is noticeably improved (IMO)- more responsive lower down and pulls bit better albeit not a big bhp difference...glad I got it done- actually drives more like my old one which I’m thinking now it must have been done before I bought it.
Bought an old Leon FR tdi to do the shopping trips and the winter and think the M3 will now be a fair weather girl...
Will get a few better pics once I get it cleaned up again...

Bit of an Anachem wash and pamper tonight...
Beautiful car! Well lucky find! Lets just stop talking about value, your car, get the underneath sealed properly, drive it no matter winter or summer, rain or snow if you can. Life is too short for worry about the resale values for the car
TBH, if you really want make money, car is properly not the right choice

I’ve been asked to host a 46M3 meet at my place during the summer and then going for a drive afterwards so I’ll be banking on both the guys coming

Found something to tinker on, thought the exhaust could do with a clean and I think they came up well, doesn’t seem to be much discolouring on them...

Lovely evening for a proper wash spruce up
Still trying to keep the miles down on this by keeping to one tank a fuel a month - really not easy- always wanting to drive it!

Finally managed to get some proper photos done, not my own skills —but here’s a selection of them -
They still need edited - gonna choose a few of them and get them touched up and printed I think…
Warning pic heavy !

You were very close to my house, heard it drive past and had a wee nosey out my window at it. Looks great in the flesh

Great pics, no ‘touching up’ needed there imo

Maybe it’s loud enough then!
Still pondering over another Supersprint exhaust like I had before- but more and more tempted to keep the car basically stock
