Finally finished hood and trunk! They sent the wrong hood the first time but were great about getting the correct one out to me. Props to Unified distribution! Car hasn't been washed for three weeks ...sorry for the dirty pics.

Bought it Sat. Drove it 100 miles home with the top down and the radio up. Washed and waxed this morning.

Congrats on the new vert! I just got mine about 5 weeks ago. I've had the top down every nice (nice = not raining, and not 90 degrees and humid) day since!

As for what I've done for my E46(s) today, I changed the oil in the ZHP Vert, and got INPA/NCS Expert installed on my laptop so that I could reset the service indicator (and for general diagnostics and coding too). I have a Peake R5 FCX2, but my '05 vert doesn't have the big round BMW diagnostics connector -- gotta reset the SI via the ODB.

I also started installing the Curt hitch -- gotta head back to the garage to finish (my kid interrupted me for snack, so I checked e46fanatics while eating said snack).

Once the hitch is on, I can use the vert to haul the bike to rides with the top down!

New 02 sensors. Car wash. I also installed new plugs, but was very embarassed to find out that I had installed NGK plugs like 8K miles ago and not bosch as I thought I was replacing. oh well. after 8K miles the plugs looked pretty bad, but with the new 02's fuel fiter, etc... should ahve a much cleaner go of things....
