Thanks! I definitely dig the mystic!

Do it!!! You have it easier being a coupe. One of the best visual mods you can do the the ZHP imo. Transforms the car!

If I can find OB! I have a hunch that OB was not a popular M3 color.

I don't think it even was an M3 color. I'd be curious to know the cost of getting both mirrors painted. I'd like to think it wouldn't be too much, but I'm sure I'd be surprised.

You're probably looking at around $400 to paint the mirror housings and base plate. That's my guess...

I think you're right. Googling "E46 M3 production numbers" provides a few websites, none of which list Orient Blue as a standard paint color for the M3. I think a handful did it custom, but other than that, they don't exist :(

Hmmm...was hoping $300 or so.

Today I FINALLY removed the CDV and wow what a different it makes. I always had the hardest time shifting into second smoothly, and this helps so much. Completely transforms the way the car shifts.

Also did the clutch stop mod, this combined with the CDV delete makes me happy to drive the car again! [emoji106]

Nice! I love 1st-2nd shifts now that mine is out as well. I used to dread them lol adding a clutch stop makes it that much better.

Yes sir, I followed the rogue engineering guide on how to properly cut the baseplates. This is not needed if you have a coupe [emoji106]
