Thanks! I also just remembered that now that the car is clean, I could finally install my ZHPMafia sticker. I am not one for stickers on my car, but given how often I'm on here, and how small and unobtrusive it is, I think it is appropriate. Looks good, IMO:

A few things:

• Purchased a set of used LED tail lights from a seller parting out his car (Sparkling Graphite Metallic on Alcantara 330Ci ZHP. VIN: WBAD53455PL15929). I struggled to find the DIY to repair my dim LED in the driver's side tail light blinker, so I went the used parts route. I figure I can either hold onto the passenger side tail light in case my current one fails in some way, or sell the slightly defective driver's side and the spare passenger side as a set and recoup my cost. Found here: http://www.zhpmafia.com/forums/showt...-(Hoschton-GA)
• I'm headed up to Seattle tomorrow to pick up a complete black E46 M3 nappa leather interior! The bolster air pump was repaired and the seller had the seat surfaces conditioned at BMW Seattle so they should be in pretty good shape when I get them. I look forward to the nicer leather and better bolstered front seats along with lumbar support. Hopefully I can recoup some of the cost by selling my current interior which is in very good shape.
• I do need to purchase new door trim clips in pursuit of eliminating the door rattle during my interior swap. I believe I need 51418224768 (x16) and 51418224781 (x6), and probably a few spares in case I break any of them. I also need some trim pins (part no. 51458266808) for the brushed aluminum trim coming with the interior I'm purchasing so I can sell it more intact.
• While doing the interior swap I plan to try and get a handle on the rear deck rattle, following this DIY: http://www.zhpmafia.com/forums/showt...n-doityourself
• While ordering those parts I might as well locate a Mann oil change kit (filter, o-ring (big), little o-rings (2x 11427549573), and a crush washer).

I won't get to the interior swap until I have those aforementioned parts ordered.
