Mustang GT was my primary BMW competitor, but I just couldn't get over the cheap interior. Hell of a car though with the 5.0.

I'd avoid 07's like the plague due their first gen nature, stick with 08+. Both the N54/N55's are known to have the HPFP issue, but BMW has extended coverage for the part, so I wouldn't let that be a...

Ended up going on E46Fanatics to one "Bimmerxtc", or Ivan.

SOLD!

Pending sale.

Haha sorry all, I know it's a pain.

Price drop: $750 for the Mafia, $800 on E46F.

Giving it another week here before I list it to the mob at E46fanatics...

Hold out for the 6MT, not having a third pedal is one of only two things that I regretted about my ZHP. (The other was getting a 4 door over the coupe)

What Pip said, picked up a new ride. Whoever picks this up will be in love with the sound.

"Why do I have to open the door twice?"

and "This is from 2004?!"

Yeah, that's what happens when I live a quarter mile from my office, haha.

2004 Sedan sold with 50,650 last Saturday.

I reset once a month, my ZHP was getting 19 average with my lead foot.

The TSE3 is the best sounding E46 exhaust I've laid my ears on.

Ladies and Gents, up for sale here we have a full Corsa TSE3 Cat-back exhaust system in a lightly used sub-1000 mile condition. $1000 firm, local San Diego pickup only!

Thanks DW, if BMW doesn't offer to fix it for free I'll be using your guide for sure.

Hmm, I wasn't aware of the tail light recall... Sounds like that is the likely culprit. 50k is coming up, might have it checked out when I get my level II done.

Hey Mafia,

2 interesting little quirks I've been noticing as the weather cools down. In the morning after the ZHP has been sitting (outside, covered parking) all night, my LED strip on the head...

I'll probably wait for the first snow, should be coming any day now...

Now someone direct me to a parts list for a 6MT swap and a reputable shop in San Diego...

Decided to keep until further notice.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll spread the word around a bit on other sites and see if I can find more info on the maintenance. No nibbles yet, but I've got time before I really need to sell.
...

Price adjustment ~$17,000

Also, if I'm valuing too much, let me know. I trust you guys to give it straight.

Thanks!
