I agree with BMWCurves. My vote goes to black cube trim.

2005 IR / black / 6MT157,000 miles
Small update:
146,000 miles
Replaced the entire center console with brand new stuff and did an armrest delete.
I also replaced both front hubs with new wheel bearings. I was hearing and feeling a loud humming coming from the front. I did the passenger side first thinking that was issue but it turned out to be the drivers side. Luckily I ordered 2 new ones!
This winter I plan on tearing the performance brakes apart and having them powder coated and rebuilt with the better pistons and new seals. The current paint has definitely seen better days. I also need to find a set of 135i brakes for the rear and have them coated at the same time.

Any new updates?
His - 2004 Imola Red / Alcantara 330i | 6MT | ZHP |
Her's - 2005 Black Sapphire Metallic / Black Leather 330i | 6MT | ZHP |
The only update I have is that I put 135s on it and stored it.
And I went to hear a possible S54 swap candidate start and run last night

Small update! S54 has been purchased! I probably won’t have time for a lot of updates here. This likely won’t be a quick swap. I’ll update when big things happen though!
For those of you that have done this before, any advice on things I should do before the engine goes in? Rod bearings, vanos, gaskets, etc are all on the list already but anything that isn’t so obvious?
Engine is from a 2003 M3 convertible SMG with 116k.
