Thank you.

What tool did you buy?

Always enjoy your updates Kirky. Mine’s in for paint next week. Will have to update my thread.

Lovely looking motor. I'd be looking for some different OEM rims, but that's just me

Don’t bother Humzah. It was a marketing gimmick imo - I’ve got HK but they don’t sound good at all. I’ve since upgraded them. I think I’m right in saying that the HK speakers are a different impedance ohms so they’re not even plug and play in to your SE

Ah that's how mines started - used some of that spray when it started lasting longer than 10 seconds. Now it's definitely needing doing...

So I've fitted a button bar and wired everything in - but haven't yet coded this. Now I'm wondering if my MK60 is the right version.... My white DSC sticker has a part number 34.51 6 759 045 - but RealOEM can't seem to find this, however I try and enter it. I know the OP states 'facelift cars' have MK60 DSC but I think I do, I also checked on my dash and there's a light on the dash which illuminates when I run that sequence to get them all to light up. Anyone know?

Thanks Scott but a bit rich for my blood I'm afraid.

Very good - how did you do that?! (I've got clear indicators and amber side repeaters too...)

I saw a comment the other day - 'hearing a new sound, and wondering how much it will cost to sort'!My aux belt makes a shocking noise - old ladies stopping and staring as I drive past. My AC also makes a noise when it's engaged so I'm going to take the plunge and do the whole lot on Monday. All part of the fun.

Thanks Tim, very useful - I'm looking forward to doing the whole lot on Bank Holiday Monday. Supercharger next month... hopefully.

If someone could tell me/show me how to post pics I'll add some more photos.

Just ordered through a family member in the the trade with BMW discount: Both rear boot plastics - the side pieces, mine are faded and scratched. Also the lateral trim panel across the area the boot closes on as that's scratched too. On order are the black 'ashtray console' and the beige 'handbrake console' plus new OEM velour mats. Scuttle panel below the wipers Car's booked in next month for paint: Front bumper Bonnet Front N/S wing Rear bumper New Calearo FM/AM & DAB sharkfin aerial. Replaced the mesh grill at the front and cleaned it all up - really brings it back up to date. Found an Alpine TUA100 DAB tuner for sensible money which works through the Intravee which is easy to fit, but I'll do that when I do the boot plastics. Got an M3 full button console - that I think you can see in the pics. I've wired in the TPMS retrofit and need to code that next. For the Sport button I've come up with a plan; replace it with a PDC button so I can switch the annoying PDC gong off if I want to - say when I'm on the phone to someone... Got all the parts and hope to get to this at the weekend. Planning for my supercharger fit currently, this means: CCV rebuild DISA valve New tensioners - aux and AC - car's 85k miles and 17 years. New AC belt - mine whines New water pump New expansion tank New thermostat Love my E46 - the herd is really thinning but I enjoy driving it every time.

Completely agree - social media is useless for build threads. My next challenge is trying to refit my rear 'door' cards - mine's a coupe, so no rear doors, but you'll know what I mean. I took both of them off to fit the Bavsound Stage 1 speakers and I just cannot get either of them back on.
