Is that Vox's old car? Plate looks familiar. If so not surprised it brushes up so well

It is indeed!

You clipped the front bumper near side?

He didn't post back as he doesn't want to feel the wrath of Vox.

lee1101 · 4 Jul 2015 at 23:19

it wasn't me! Pretty sure it was there when I got it as there's touch up pen on it. It doesn't look anywhere near as bad as the picture makes it look.

Been thinking about getting the bumper resprayed but all my mileage is motorway so it'd be a bit of a waste of time.

First wash in a few months! Comes up quite nice

Looking good! Had a friend over the other day who has a near identical E46 to that one, when he started it up to head home I couldn't help but smile at the very familiar sound.

Bumper scuff was done pre my ownership, again had the same dilemma as Lee in that it could do with a respray, but all I did was sit on the motorway so I'd just wince every time I heard a stone bounce off it, not worth it.

Shall have to have a catch up some point soon

Lovely car, no need for a bumper respray, just get it lined up properly if possible.

A view of the outside from within, rather than the other way round for once

^F10 going too slow tbh

That Android tablet job you did looks really tidy.

mrk · 5 Jul 2015 at 17:13

It has its quirks, but it does the main things I got it for quite well, which is what matters most

Hmmm the speedo seems to have been caught in the "photoshop manipulation" you did of the trees. I mean, that must be the only reason it blurred, isn't it :eek:

Sarcasm Smiley. I know the photographic technique is real, I've done it a few times myself.

skaif · 5 Jul 2015 at 18:27

That's a cool pic! How fast were you really going?

mrk · 5 Jul 2015 at 18:40

Just entered Warp Speed, can't you tell?

Jono8 · 5 Jul 2015 at 18:56

"Warp factor 9 captain!"

Typical E46 M3 owner

Jumper118 · 5 Jul 2015 at 19:23

i bet he was driving at 2mph and just had a shutter speed of 30 seconds to make it look like he was going fast.

Jonnycoupe · 5 Jul 2015 at 20:52

Interior mirror angle is killing me.

mrk · 5 Jul 2015 at 20:57

It is actually straight, the angle the photo was taken from and the fact that the gravities involved nudged the tripod to the right slowly means it looks not straight.

skaif · 5 Jul 2015 at 22:38

Pulling some serious G's then?

mrk · 5 Jul 2015 at 22:41

No the lack of roof makes the entire car nearly kill all occupants at every opportunity, didn't you know?

Wash and wax followed by splitters, spoiler and grilles fitting. Busy weekend!

Last two pics show off the shading differences of jerez black, purple in some blue in others, lovely colour.
