What's on your to-do list?

[cakM3]

charlie, where's the seats? haha.

i picked up my E46 M3 seats last night!! can't wait to install them. powered, heated, lumbar AND kidney bolster adjustment!

peter

right!!!

My to-do list consists of working on the ZHP (daily driver) first...
- Get new Eonon head unit
- Get Eonon's 5M extension cable
- Get radio antenna extension cable
- Get new rear camera (check! - done)
- Get new Michelin PSS for my ZHP
- Change fluids (engine/tranny/diff)
- Change out plugs
- check my DISA
- new windshield w/ rain sensor (spring)
- paint my CSL bootlid for sedan in Imola Red
- Install Peter's ZHP Black Leather power/lumbar seats


There.....fixed! Peter, we need to talk Those M3 seats with kidney bolster adjustment makes all the difference! Once you have them installed Peter, you'll be thinking why it took you so long to get these seats! I have them in my ///M and whenever I take it out for a drive, those seats feel like a warm glove I fit in so good!!!

awesome.

i've been doing some research and it looks like the only thing i need to do is fab up a mounting bracket for the end of the lap belt. VAC motorsports makes a set but they are $55 shipped, and i'm sure i can make a set for 1/4 of that... either that or swap the outer rails, which seems kinda messy. the bracket is a 2-bolt affair.

Mine's shrinked a whole lot since I bought the car.

- Cooling system, rear brakes and ebrake due in 20k
- Recharge freon
- Replace cats (have a set already) + driveshaft wearables
- Paint.

What I've done in the last 2.5 years I won't list though. Too long.
