The part# should be on a sticker (which ofcourse would have peeled off - stupid BMW supplier)Quote:

There's still no one out there that's figured out how to get shift lights on an E46 M3 cluster to work on a non-M car, correct? This guy seems to have but it doesn't really look right, like it's just all at once at 6,500 RPM:

Hoping (in vain lol) that Terra will eventually figure it out but I doubt car mods anywhere on his radar right now.
Want.Quote:

Could someone please find me the part number for the plastic cap thing in the spare tire well that holds the trunk floor up? I didn't realize that this piece existed, so after struggling with the floor collapsing for years under the weight of my tool box, I'm fed up. Now that I know it exists, I need to buy one, but can't for the life of me find the part number.
It's the black cap in this pic:

What do you guys think?
-Tint the front windshield 35%?
(Leave the 20% on the sides)
- Remove the tints and go lighter %?
- Fish Bowl?

I know people like the fish bowl look, so this will be an unpopular opinion: I'd definitely keep some kind of tint. You put WAY too much into that interior to let the sun destroy it. I think 20% is too dark, and I'm not keen on tinted windshields (Air Blue 80 is okay, though). I have 40% and think it looks great with the dark headliner. From the outside it's actually a touch darker than I'd prefer, but it looks darker because of the black seats.
I've been reading a lot of forums and everyone really has a different opinion. I like the tints just because I live in NYC and I don't feel too comfortable having everyone look at me. While I'm parking or at a light it's just crazy really. And having tints in NYC is kinda "boss" lol.
The other day I drove super clean with all my windows down and my sunroof open around NYC and got plenty of compliments from people. And people actually saw my interior for a change. The combo is too good smh. Also clear windows I think would look super clean and classy! But idk about getting rid of my tints.
I've been thinking or removing them and riding around fish then eventually getting 50%-35% all around even the windshield
P.S: The fishbowl look in NYC, at least for me is actually kinda rare and different. I always try to notice nice, clean cars with them but never actually see or find clean cars like ours with fishbowled out.

One other option is to go the route BP went, and get Air Blue 80 all around. Basically fish bowl, but you still get the UV protection and heat reduction. Just food for thought.
Doesn't that have a blueish tint? I remember him posting pictures one day[emoji848]

I think a lot of cars are missing this piece.Quote:

35% here as well. in texas heat, tint is mandatory.
BP, this looks great - exactly what i want for both Tourings. how much did it cost to get this done?Quote:

hmmm, thanks. the Touring really only has a tiny bit more glass... the rear hatch glass it smaller than the coupe/sedan rear window, for sure.Quote:

Do you guys think this interior is worth considering (knowing I'd have to repair the driver's seat)? I'll be about 1hr away from the seller this weekend, and the post has been up a while, meaning I might have some room for negotiation.

The driver seat seems to be in pretty bad shape, not sure how much of it is repairable. So you plan on replacing the estoril interior with this?Quote:

Dude, do not touch those M3 seats! These are pretty rough.
Fair enough, lads. Don't see very many NB coupe interiors come through, so I thought I'd ask.
I think NB or Cinny would look pretty awesome against the Estoril.Quote:

Personally, I love my E46 M3 seats and I would never go back to the stock seats, even for pristine Natural Brown. I agree on the all black interior needing a bit of contrast. My plan is to either find a Cinnamon M3 interior (hah!) or source some good condition silver cube. My sister's 330Xi black interior has silver cube and I definitely appreciate the contrast. The trick is finding a set that's not in rough shape.
Why not break it up with the brushed aluminum trim that you already have? I'm loving it in mine.Quote:

There was a MINT complete cinny interior in California recently. You should've ponied up the $3k.Quote:

I've thought about it. But I'm a large fan of cubes. Sugar cubes. Ice Cubes. BMW Cube trim. Fight me.Quote:
