Bought an old BMW M3, filled with regret...

I like how you have parked 3 miles from the curb.

Don't wanna scuff those alloys!

That's from extensive experience in kerbing a wheel or two numerous times while paying attention to not kerbing the other wheel.

Scuffing alloys is how new swear words get invented.

 

[Akagi]

I shed real tears when I scuffed up my mint T-Sport alloy while avoiding a moron who ran in front of my car.

It seemed to randomly eject itself, plugging it back in worked. Cheap Chinese dongle, so to be expected I guess.

In other news, I think the E46 has aged really well (hi loltim).

Looks great from all angles

I don't think I appreciated mine as much when i owned it, they are fast becoming a timeless car, I still don't like your indicators though, too 'bright', no idea which ones I had but they - for me - look much more suitable.

 

[Gibbo]

Car looks epic but agree with Will you need those darker front indicators, yours are too bright.

 

[mrk]

Mine are standard. The darker ones don't do anything for me really, reminds me of depo ones, which they usually are, and often found on cars with coilovers and various other mods. Something I don't want to do as prefer keeping it looking stock, but where mods are done on the outside, look like they could be factory options.

The clear lenses are part of the E46 character

Edit*
Not that there's anything wrong with them of course, each to their own and all!

 

[Demon]

Looking clean MRK, and doing the E46 proud!

I am not sure about depo's on yours either, I think Carbon Black is a classier colour, on Estoril, depo's all the way..

Just tilt the mirror down and you can park inch perfect every time without looking like you can't park for toffee and just abandoned it in the middle of the road

 

[mrk]

Alright calm down! I was only parked there for 2 minutes while I nipped in to pick up trousers from the tailor

Had not thought about this option while tentatively taking an hour to park this morning as I'm not used to having alloys to care about

Try it with a car which isn't flat and is wedge shaped down each side the you'll have fun.

 

[mrk]

The noise

What kind of potato shaped car is that?!

 

[I cant post photos]

Did you get your tea in the end?

 

[mrk]

Ah yes cheers! The tube was dented by the mail it seems, but you're right, fancy packaging

 

[skaif]

The noose

That sounds gorgeous! Loving the shift light, is that a carly add on?

 

[[TW]Fox]

Good job it was in M TRACK MODE for that.

 

[mrk]

It looks cooler innit.

It's something deeper than what basic coding can do. You can enable it with NCS, or use the cutters guy's utility to enable it along with many other options. It's basically a GUI with tickboxes and sliders to simplify the whole NCS Expert ordeal

 

[T0pPredator]

That sounds really nice. Was the sound recorded from the engine bay?

 

[mrk]

Yeah I taped my phone to the highlighted bit

The sound in the video is similar to the sound you hear from inside the cabin with the roof up, except you "feel" the induction burble in addition. I could not find a suitable location in front of the Eventuri, otherwise it would have been louder still.
