2005.6 E46M3 Mystic Blue :)

[Andy1GP]

As some of you might already know...

The car is quite complete. Spare key, toolkit and even the compressor kit in the boot.

Having worked on the car and doing all the usual S54 maintenance items its nice to discover all the plastic clips and covers still in place. Also being a "virgin" motor thats never been opened the valve clearances were found to be quite ok. All barely out of spec .23 and .35 respectively.

Cam timing still factory original. Motor is quite clean too.

And despite all the years of reading how bad SMG is I am very much enjoying it :joy:

So much so it is my car of choice to use as a Daily.

On to some pics. The car is dirty as I just took them and.

Cleaning the interior

Some pics of the work done.

Remember not to mix your whites and colours when doing the washing :rollsmile:

I think it is fair to say that you have an e46 M addiction, which might not be a bad thing.

Which one are you bringing to the track? Gareth needs buddy to compare corner speeds with, I am to slow.

Nice car!
Interesting how nice and clean the seats are, but the steering needed re cover

Nice car!
Interesting how nice and clean the seats are,

Has Praleen maybe done his magic on the seats?

Andy bro, running out of rags for the garage? :tiptoe:

 

[BlueM]

Congrats! 3 of them i think you need to attend some addiction sessions. :roflol:

Makes me sad to hear the good things about the SMG's i avoided them like a plague when i was looking. :hammerhead:

 

[Andy1GP]

Thank you for all the comments guys. I don't have the E60 anymore. The steering wheel was looking quite sad. Car had seen some sun unfortunately. This weekend will hopefully yield some good results

I promise to take some more pics after this weekend. This week has just been hell in the simulator. Finishing up tomorrow afternoon.

The SMG has surprised me. The M5 converted me and the M3 just emphasised it.
