Thanks for reminding me. Yes, it finally sold. $6,500.

I have a potential deal in the works.
Good information for someone who may have to drive one of these off pavement or through nasty weather, slush and ice. However, I don’t believe that this one has been exposed to much of that. It...
Good point. I just didn’t recall seeing that mentioned in ‘15 when I was shopping. Fortunately when this example left Tucson it went to some “in between” states and to a pair of meticulous owners.
I could be talked through setting up shipping.
I have seen a few For Sale listings that mention rust (either it has none or a small patch in a certain area. I did not think these were susceptible to rust. Is it just a fluke that some recent...
Sale suspended.
I have been putting some miles on this little beauty. This year it has taken me and the family on three trips all over the southeast: Atlanta/Auburn, Mobile/New Orleans, and Asheville (I missed a...
Beautiful. Enough to make the dead jealous of the living.
Maybe they're suggesting you switch offices.
Yes, it's silver-gray. Green would be pretty cool though, wouldn't it?
Here's the original color photo but the car appears blue-ish due to the light from the cloudless sky. I used the "Transfer"...

Bumper cover resprayed. Now she's nice and glossy all over.
Ha, I suppose you are right. It didn't take very long for her attitude to change from "I hate how hard it is to open your car door" to "when are you going to put gas in my car?"

Even in the original, un-restored, as-delivered trim it's the best looking car in the parking lot and on the paddock.
She is pretty, isn't she? She is going to look even nicer with...
For anyone looking for their first E46, +1 on being willing to travel and on the difficulty finding exactly what you want for less than $10k. I got something quite similar to the OP's ideal for well...
Yes, I definitely need to concentrate on the cones and sport mode would be the choice for that. I may still try manual now and then but since it up-shifts on its own it doesn't seem to be well suited...
Got to autocross my 330i ZHP recently. In order to maintain marital harmony it is an automatic but it was still a great experience and I'm looking forward to more opportunities. It was a little wet,...
Looking good, fredo. Did you do anything special to the black trim strip across the bumper? Mine is a little sun-beaten and I noticed that yours looks better in the "after" picture.

Thanks. The pads just need to be replaced; almost down to the sensor.
Do you happen to belong to the bmwcca? I'm looking for a nearby driver's school and was wondering if the bluegrass bmwcca...
Thanks fellas. I'm still getting used to the good feeling that I get to work on it versus the feeling of dread that I get when I have to work on other cars.
Thank you all. I'm in the Louisville, KY area.
Still focused on the brakes and tires for now. Front tires (Conti. Extremecontact DWS) and front pads (OEM replacement, I'm sure) have a lot of...
Huh, I assumed they all started out as chromed and over time they were being sandblasted and painted. I wonder if chrome was an option.
PMing johnrando.
Looks like a bad time to be a buyer of these right now! I'm looking for a used pair of the 18x8 style 135 wheels in the original chrome finish. A little curb rash would not kill a deal. Thanks.

It came with a fairly extensive mechanical history which apparently included a nearly complete cooling system...
