Ok Dave. Your wish is my command.Just needs some e46 sport seats; we had a couple of dd's for my wife, and the regular seats are horrible.
PS: yes, these are the tan leather instead of the brown. But I intend to convert all of the brown to the tan anyway.
That looks very clean. Always liked that color.I had been jonesing after one of these for a long time. Finally found a perfect shape one from an old lady who had it since new. 155k miles so the mechanicals are getting old but it was always garaged here in CA so the body and the nice two tone interior are perfect. It’s a slush box car but at least it has the steptronic/pretend-manual and 5 or 6 speed swap is always an option. Although for a DD it is not so urgent.

Haha. We can’t stop ourselves can we?You said that this would be a dd, but it sounds like it's creeping into project car territory. Congratulations on a great buy!
When I bought mine, I had plans to go full M3 conversion, then realized there were quite a bit of electronics involved that I'd never figure out. With the 2.5 and stick, it has the perfect engine response to be going the speed limit all the time. Such a smooth engine.Haha. We can’t stop ourselves can we?
Not to worry. All I want to do to this one is swap for a 5 speed, upgrade to a 3.0 motor, change the interior color, install a rear view camera and install an H&R sport suspension. After that, it’s all done. ;-)
Compared to coupe work, this is going to be a walk in the park.
The M3 touring conversion was a dream started by bmw when they created their one off prototype. But once you look deeper into what it would take to make it correctly, you realize that it is a huge amount of work... Here is a video which outlines what it takes just for the body part. I’m not a fan of the “presenter” but he and his body man go over quite a few interesting details that one might not think about at first.When I bought mine, I had plans to go full M3 conversion, then realized there were quite a bit of electronics involved that I'd never figure out.
Forgot to ask, Bob... why are you selling yours?I think I'm gonna sell mine. It is a great car. Holds a Sheepdog very well with a view out the back. 5 speed, Mystic Blue with Black Sport Pack, 330i brakes,Bigger sway bars, no sunroof, Xenons, HK, factory nav. Located in Toronto
