Glad you got the big chunk of the work done. Cold weekend to do it!

It’s a lot easier when you have access to this.

A fully dressed dropout made life easier, too. Zero time spent swapping accessories/harness/etc.

No doubt. Glad you're near done with the ordeal.

That sux! But at least you had a garage furnace to begin with. I had to bring my actuator job upstairs in the family room due to the cold. Ohh the joys of owning an M3. German engineering!
