    I love Alpine White. One of my favorite colors next to Mystic Blue for ZHPs. It looks so good on E46s.

    And you should go gloss black for the front grilles.

    Beauty. Supposedly later models don't need the reinforcement as much but that doesn't mean it's guaranteed not to happen, but it's much less likely to be an issue.

    Model Year 2005 has sunroof as a mandatory option. I believe the owner replaced the old roof with carbon roof

    Looks nice and clean! I have matte black kidney grilles on my car now but I think I'll be buying a new set of gloss grilles pretty soon.

    It has a sunroof. I got a gloss black vinyl that blends really well with the glass of the sunroof at some angles.
