Estoril Blue E46 M3... I've finally got one!
Discussion
- that looks utterly brilliant, congrats!
It looks like a good buy for sure! A good combo in many ways too! Blue is one of the best colours 
.
Regarding the alignment I'd definitely get the subframe bushes done when you get the RACP reinforced. I opted for this when I took my car to ETA to have the plates fitted. I must say that it transformed the car. Before that the car used to tramline quite a bit over white lines and require a few corrections going over cambered roads. I thought it could have been the front tyres. The subframe bushes removed about 95% of that IMO ; it felt different leaving the shop after the first corner!
It will be good to see the updates on this and the direction it takes going by the DC2 build.

Funnily enough I just checked your YouTube to see if you had uploaded anything on the new car (watched your last video earlier). Dissapointed there was nothing there I started idly browsing Readers Car's and happened upon this thread - didn't even realise it was you posting until I saw your replies!
Very very nice indeed, glad to hear you've realised a dream car, looking forward to some vlogs on it in future!
EDIT: Just seen you've uploaded the vlog now! *Grabs popcorn*

I watched the YT video last night. It took me back to getting my old e46 M3 5 years ago. I collected mine from Huddersfield though. Great car and mine had the track setting on the traction which allows a little more slip and can be coded in easily.
Brave getting sideways with Mother in the car! “That were fab”!
I know what you mean about being picky on the spec. I wanted silver grey, LSB or red with a black interior and manual. Oh and I wanted 2004 onwards for the facelift and the subframe warranty at the time.
Mine came with both the 19s and 18s. I wish I got the 18s done in the normal shadow finish now rather than the black.
I had KW coilovers, dark bits and bobs and a couple of carbon bits but the lip lasted under a week!

Glad you finally got one matey, thought you would at some point, especially with how many mega ones are at the ring!
I was almost looking earlier in the year but the old classic dream in me took over so got that one out the way, will hopefully accompany it with an e46 m3 further down the line!
