Your car seems to be in very nice shape. Thanks for sharing all the pictures. Look forward to your maintenance/mods/upgrades in the future.

I think I can safely say that this is the newest looking E46 I've ever seen.

This looks great.

Yes, a beautiful car indeed!
The pictures are very nice too.

But that stick in the left hand, not sure how easily I could get used to that.

Haha, I often think about the converse of that - how I would probably struggle to drive LHD. I guess it's just a case of what you are used to.

I think I can safely say that this is the newest looking E46 I've ever seen. At least by looking at the pictures, this is newer looking than any of the E46's I've seen on EAG's site...

Wow, what a compliment! Thank you! It sure is in amazing condition for the mileage, but it's certainly not perfect. Photos are always quite forgiving in that regard. Both bumpers need a respray, and the wheels need a refurb due to small nicks and scratches. But after that, I would say that it could be a show car.

She is a beauty. Nice job maintaining her as well as you have.

Good point on the pictures. Even then, it's all relative, and it still looks like a car with 5-10k on the odometer.

you ain't lying, even though pictures can be a bit deceiving.. overall you can still tell that car is pristine and well taken care of, you can eat off it.
