If you want to keep the OEM look, you can pick up the factory fit CD player head unit on ebay for not a large hill of beans.
Think im going to have to get a aftermarket head unit. Need usb charging for the phone (phones satnav kills battery fast) and a aux cable for friends phones for music. Unless ofc the Bmw one has this?In regards to the wings, how much do you reckon to have the replacement painted?
Edit: Its got the black window surrounds like the sport, and the seats. But its a se, can I check how it was factory ordered?

Bought a radio in the end while stateside. Its a kenwood, might be able to change to uk frequency, not listed to a radio since I got my last radio from the states, without uk frequency, so not a big problem haha.
Quite subtle not huge flashy thing. Comes with a rear usb port, would really like to run it into the center console somewhere, how hard is that to do on the e46's?

Assuming its a non CD unit, Halfords are doing this for £40 if you cant get the frequencies sorted. Quite subtle not huge flashy thing. Comes with a rear usb port, would really like to run it into the center console somewhere, how hard is that to do on the e46's?

Oh, and if it clunks a little at the back when you lift the clutch sharply don't worry too much about it - they really all do that according to the garages I have mentioned it to about mine! 
Most on the M3 forums say the same thing! They don't - it's slop in the engine, gearbox, propshaft, and rear subframe bushes.There is defiantly a clunk at the back when setting off and 1st to 2nd changes.
Steering wheel wobble at 70mph when braking.
3 warning lights pop up at 80mph, traction control, handbrake and something else. They all disappear when car is turned off though, don't return till 80mph, faulty speed sensor or something I reckon.

Just out of interest what sort of MPG are you getting? Ours doesn't seem to drop below 30 and I've had 37 on a ~30mile a road trip.
Not sure at all, I just fill it when needed.Done just over 3000 miles now in it, no motorway driving. The nearest motorway is over 100 miles away
Failed the mot on front brake imbalance so bought a pair of used calipers for £25.
Bought a set of 16" e46 alloys with a few mm of tread, swapping the rears to winter tyres today as im sick of being stuck.

That's good to hear, I always thought the one right at the back would be a bit difficult as it is obscured?
There's a panel that you remove to gain access to that particular plug. There's a useful guide on e46 Zone IIRC. But if you're confident enough you'll not struggle too much.
