New member - another new M roadster

[Pures3]

Hi all, been lurking for a while, finally picked up my new M yesterday. Just give her a clean and treated the leather.

It's a sapphire black, red/carbon leather, nav with dsp, heated seats. FSH, 89k miles, but feels very tight. Bought on condition and not too bothered about the miles. Saw a couple of right dogs with low miles :-/


Need to do a few little jobs:

New Center caps
New front badge
New rear M badge
Fix the electric fold in mirrors (not working, not the fuse)
Wax and seal
Paint the brake calipers
Should keep me busy for a little while.

My gosh they are quicker than I was expecting!

Previously owned m3 e36 evo, and e46 m3. This thin seems miles quicker than my e46!

Thanks for the welcome

Quick update. Managed to give her a proper clean, polish and wax now.

De-misted the headlights too, looks refreshed.

The electric mirrors are now working. Had to take the switch out, take it to bits and clean the circuit board. Put it all back together and they are working.

The auto fold in still doesn't work, there is a silicone rubber piece that sits on top of the board. The fold in button doesn't meet the rubber button underneath. Like the rubber has heated up ad stretched... anyway, mirrors working and I can live without the fold up mirrors for now.

Few updated pics.

Next job, badges and wheel Center caps.
