Congrats! Awesome car!

how long have you had it and what's the mileage?
Just a heads-up on the pre-facelift E46 M3's.. The rob bearing caps were manufactured by a 3rd party company and didn't meet BMW's quality spec.
Take the car to a place like Savspeed/TuneTech (not sure who to speak to down there in CPT) and get the bearings replaced.

the bearings would/should have been replaced at service when the technical bulletin was released

Yes they should have been, but that's not always the case here in SA.

Check the MP history to make sure it was done.

oh yah, who did the fitting for the boot? alignment looks pretty good

I fitted the boot myself...

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys. And on the question of the servicing, I noticed in mine that the book wasn't always stamped after visiting BMW. Did anyone ever experience this? Oh well, I'm out of motorplan now so doesnt matter really...

Nice!! That looks so evil! :) :thumbsup:

The A4 Cabrios used to be the Kent reps' cars. They bought them all the 2.0T A4 Cabrios, and then did the matte black vinyl. They have sold the cars now though, minus the vinyl. A friend of mine works for them and had one! It looked stunning!

I also saw a 599 GTB in matte black a while ago! Damn, that was HOT!! :shocked: :thumbsup: :clap:
