* What did you do to/for your E46 today? *

buzz kill.

Gave my E46 to my new mechanic for a week for the following:

1) engine swap (used 325 engine with 80,000KMs) to replace my 320i engine (cracked head, cross-threaded spark plugs, etc).

2) BSW subwoofer / amp install

3) possible head unit install (Alpine if I do that)

Plus a thorough end-to-end inspection.

Last night oil change , put in new eurotray(long with slider) and new zhp knob.

bled clutch line today

installed Bimmian gauge rings, yeah I know, not much of a mod but need to kill time until the supercharger gets here

I just blacked out my grills and emblems all around. New headlights with AEs are on order with cleared reflectors for the bumpers. Next is the window trim and Rims/rubber will follow to replace the 17s as soon as the tread is worn on my current tires.

Is the radio interface cable included? I had interference issues with the trunk cable. The radio interface is as easy to install as the trunk (unless you just run the cable on top of the back seat)

Stayed up til 2AM installing a UUC TSE3 exhaust and M-Tech II rear bumper on my 325i. Eargasm every time I start her up now.

Tried to get a alignment done on my 325ci to find out only dealerships can do it for the most part Fail on my part.

Made my clear corners look great with Stealth Bulbs.

I finished my car day by picking the wagon up from Re:vision (I had left it there Friday since I could leave it safely inside) and installed the Benfer CF strut bar, the CF airbox, the CF rear diffuser...all these had been installed on the sedan...but since I had previously installed the BMW Performance CF airbox, perf CF strut bar and perf MTech II CF diffuser on that car.

I also removed the old stereo setup in the wagon and went to a more simple setup with just a JL Audio amp and sub added to the factory nav (and MB quart speakers throughout).

Damn it was too hot to work out there - even with the AC pumping in the garage.

Changed the oil and put a new coolant level sensor in the 330ci today.

Cleaned door panels and all leather as well as giving her a clean. Took her to a viewing - hoping to have sold her by tonight.

Last night:

-Washed
-Polished
-Detailed the inside

Soon to come:

-Angel eyes
-Matte black kidneys

i replaced my seat sensor mate for the air bag system in the passenger sport seat - maybe i'll post a DIY for it because of i didnt find a good guide for me, let me know if someone need it,

i changed my trans oil to the RP 75W90. - much better - but there is still work to do..

and - i replaced my control arms to Meyle , - recommended

This weekend I put in my new thermostat so drained and flushed the entire system. Filled up with new coolant and broke my radiator drain plug.

Put in a new fuel filter.

Sanded down those little strips below the front wing/fender just above the side skirts. The bit of the back panel that runs along to the front (coupe). It was all rusty so I sanded it back, primed and painted. Will hit it with 2000 grit tomorrow and lacquer.

Realised my driver door and boot seals are all f'ed up.
