I'd looked at five E46's and for what I wanted to spend on a car to use in the evenings and weekends they were nasty, so this car presented itself and a deal was struck.
I've got a small list of things to sort out:
- LSD.
- Sport interior, if I can find beige front and rear seats.
- Other niggles, panel alignment etc.
- New rear bumper.
- and a leak into the passenger footwell which is proving a pain to locate - Anyone?
So far:
- Suspension removed (H&R Cup kit) and underside cleaned.
- Welding to sills and boot under battery.
- Sills and rear valance stone chipped.
- Dinitrol cavity & underside waxes.
- New front wishbones inc' M3 eccentric bushes.
- RD ARB's with new links.
- New chrome trims for front and rear screens.
- New front arch liners.
- New elephant trunk.
- Detail inc' clay, Menzerna compounds, sealant etc.
- and the list goes on.
From crawling around under this thing I found a few previous repairs in the footwells/floor, rear inner arches and front inner arch. I've ground them all back with a knotted wire wheel on a grinder, rust-killed them with POR15 metal ready, zinc spray, seam sealed where appropriate, BMW underseal then lastly Dinitrol spray wax.
Originally it was a 316 M10 on the slush.....
