    In for correction.... another one from earlier this year, 2004 Carbon Black E46 BMW M3. This one was a joy as the owner and I hit it off really well in our love for these cars. I actually almost bought it after doing the job..... lol. I love these things and they will always have a place in my heart as the last true, traditional, enthusiast built M3.... without further nonsense... procedure and pics in short: (again, I did not have my Rupes at this point. I laugh now thinking back)

    Still have my eye on it as the owner is looking at a 997.2 turbo P car....
