    I searched for ages to try and find genuine mats with the M3 logo. I just assumed there wasn't such a thing!

    Gave the M3 some loving today as well.

    It went through it's MOT last week without a hitch. And I had the new steering wheel, handbrake and gearstick gaitors fitted.

    I fitted all the new exterior badges and mats today as well. I'm looking forward to getting the front end resprayed now. It's going in on 23rd Feb. The I want to get a full paint correction detail done.

    It's very pleasant. In one way I wish I got the alcantara on the sides, as it feels lovely. The only problem with that is, after a while it'll look ropey, so I guess I made the right choice.

    Got the M3 back yesterday after having the front end resprayed. Absolutely chuffed with it. It's looking properly mint now. I'll get some piccys up once I get chance to give it a going over. Within the next couple of weeks hopefully, busy working away during the week at the moment, so being able to spend time at the weekend cleaning the car is a bit awkward.

    Having said that, managed to find a bit of time today to fit various bits and bobs I've been collecting!

    Fitted upgraded BM54 amplifier - Stage 2 upgrade, 50w RMS (20w factory). Firmware upgrade also. Bluetooth streaming, and 2CH pre-out added so I can add an additional amplifier.
    Fitted upgraded analogue TV tuner - Stage 2 Digital TV upgrade, and also DAB radio added. This upgrade also includes an added USB port for playing MP3's and various video files, as well as pausing and rewinding live TV.
    Fitted Intravee II & Apline KCA-420i, allowing full I-pod integration into the factory head unit, amongst other things, With an I-pod dock mounted in the ashtray.
    Fitted front cup holders & coin holder.
    Fitted full LED interior kit - dome lights. map lights, vanity mirror lights, footwells, etc
    Fitted LED boot lights
    Fitted LED sidelights, front & side indicators also,
    Fitted Pedal Haus pedal kit.
    Fitted Lamin-X tinting film to rear lights - although not 100% convinced I like it!

    Had a busy morning on the Bimmer. Gave it wash, and polish with Chemical Guys watsit namey, and then waxed with R222 :wub: :wub: Oh lord that stuff is amazing! Whizzed over all the black bits with trim gel, and even (for once!) did the door and boot shuts properly, and gave the engine bay a little going over!

    I am absolutely made up with the paint work I've had done. I won't be as ££££ish to say that it's like it just came out of the factory, but it's not far off. To date, by far the best condition car I've owned, and considering it's 11 years old and has 85k under it's belt I'm very pleased.

    Dropped them M off at Brystones this morning to have my new Eventuri intake fitted





    And also get them to fit the LSB interior I picked up



    On top of that, they are investigating a slight knock from the rear end somewhere, hopefully not the dreaded subframe issue!

    BTW don't worry about the clunk from the rear, it's probably just your cardboard boot floor falling out.
