What dye did you use to dye the carpets and headliner in your interior project thread? Starting my project next weekend and would like to order this dye in time for the project. Thanks!

Hi, I am a contented owner of a remapped 2004 e46 330d manual sport saloon, and currently curious about some claims outthere that this car can be enhanced/upgraded to over 300hp, making my ears prick up a little, anyone have any further knowledge about who/how/where with any regard to this upgrade. Thanks.

Hey Neil I read your coding section and its the best info I got so far I just have two questions for you. Did you buy the GT1 with program/sss and if so where did you find it???? Also does it auto program after you select the options or do you do the actual coding yourself? These lights on my dash need to go off already and these dealers around me are unable to do this.

Hello

I´ve done the gearbox swap to my 320ci cabrio 2002 !
The only " problem" that i have is when i want to change gear, when i press the clutch pedal, the rpm go up 500/1000 revs ! Its so strange !

Its already programed as a Manual by the local dealership, my last thougts is try to change de gas pedal ? I still have the original one ( automatic ) and i had already bought one from a manual ( they are diferent ) .

Any thoughts ?



Ps: Sorry for my english .

Hello,

I recently experienced the same reverse transmission problem on my 2000 323ci BMW. I took the time to read your very informative post http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=706809. When I put it into Reverse Gear and accelerate the car seems to slowly move and im not sure if it is just rolling or actually clicking into gear, but you can still hear the engine revving hard. I'm definitely not a car expert, but as you probably imagine, I am reluctant to give up on this car. In this case, how do you know if its a GM or ZF transmission? Any insight on this problem would be much appreciated! =)

Best Regards

Just wanted to comment on your sig picture. I am in the photo business, and that is a wonderful image. Thanks.

Hey Neil,

If you have a second could you check out this http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showpos...5&postcount=33 wanted to see your opinion on it
Thanks

Thanks for the opinion bud. I was thinking the same after seeing the pictures in your thread. Not sure how it will look with the all black seats given that I have the tan carpet... Hopefully with the two tone door panels and black floormats will allow the black seats to fit in... do you have any thoughts on painting the seat backs tan? The plastic wraps around a good bit so i know it would be rather visible: http://bmwmregistry.com/media/E46M3seats.jpg

.. guess I should just install them and, once i can see how it looks, try and figure it out.

I wonder what a new seat-back costs? Maybe buy new ones, dye them in tan, and compare

Yo Neil,

So I am doing a new interior makeover with some black seats... question is as follows : I am going to be doing a black rear bench and have black seats for the front. I am not sure though how I want to incorporate tan, if at all, into the setup.

I saw this pic http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2649/...58cbbcd0_b.jpg where you have the tan plastic bottom with the black leather. Given that the interior looks like this, http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3459/...eca20cd61a.jpg I was thinking it might look halfway decent...

So, would you suggest trying to reuse the tan plastic base or, my other idea, was the paint the seatback tan to match the rest of the door panel.

Thoughts?
