Hey, thanks. Looks can be quite deceiving

different feel, and I made a promise to the Mrs that the e86 will stay stock…until it’s paid off, there are many plans in the works

I've had the 3.0L M54 in an E46 Cabrio. My only experience with the 2.5L is my sister's X3 automatic, which seemed decent.

TIA

Thank you. I’ll send you a pm in more detail, but as they sit are different animals. I’ve had my 03 since 2011, the 07 coupe for a year now. Coupe is completely stock minus a stubby and mat black grills. My 03 started stock now has an ess vt1 with a lsd from diffsonline with a 4.10:1 gear ratio. Hence why I went bigger on brakes. Both have their special feel and likes and dislikes from pre/post facelift I’ll go more detail on in pm, but they do have their own special smile that comes across your face driving them.

Exactly! Cars nowadays and their colors can be insanely gorgeous! In the night how it looks like? Maybe some pics?

Thank you! No, I'm sorry, I don't. I'd tell you I'd take one, but it's currently at the dealer and may be there a while

That story is in another thread.

My BMW's have all dearly departed and this is the only one I have left. It's likely this is the last BMW I own.

It's full circle, really, because an E46 was the first BMW I owned and what really cemented a passion I've had for my entire adult life

Thank you! I call it my midlife crisis color. Every single vehicle I have had since 1990 has been black or some shade of grey. It's beautiful in the metal. Pics don't do it justice.

Every car I have owned since 1994 has been in the blue family starting with Samoa Blue in a 325i convertible.
