This is absolutely perfect. The E46 M3 is my favorite BMW of all time and the amount of effort you've gone through to restore this properly is incredible. No shortcuts and attention to every detail. Well done!!

Fresh headliner parts starting to come together. Figured I would source new / mint OEM stuff instead of sending my sagging one to get redone. Cant beat OEM. The previous owner also removed the sunroof visor and never included it with the sale. I have now sourced a new one.

Little quarantine Project of mine finally coming to fruition. When I go to install my Recaro's I want to be able to remove the factory seats without having to remove or modify the factory sliders at all. To do that, I sourced some old manual e46 sedan seats and took some winter weekend days to sand down the rails and get them to factory. One of the other benefits of using donor seats when being able to rip the factory occupancy sensor out so I could use it under my Recaros instead of an emulation module.

Done the right way...

I could go on and on about how beautiful this thing is. But I'll spare everyone 😂

Super clean build!

This weekend I ripped out the old rotten headliner to install my fresh headliner bits as well as removed the decomposed sound deadening under the rear rear seats.

Awesome! Where did you source the seats from? Does the leather match the OEM?

How do you like the pedals? You think they'll be slippery when wet? And good for heel and toe?
