Thanks to Vinnie @ Sparta for the great setup.
Nice! Did you go with their Triton setup or Saturn?

I'm pretty close to getting a set from them

Thread pages have been glitched for me, usually happens around 195-200 pages before a new thread should be made.

4 accidents in 6 months of ridiculous, if I really want him off the road I'd have to write in a letter and have a lawyer send it in to ICBC.

But my pain has been all over the place, I'm starting to get better but I might have a concussion, going to get checked out tomorrow.

Sparta is a great company to work with. Post some pics. When the four boxes showed up at the front door (almost killed the UPS guy) it was like XMAS for the car.

Damn, there it is! Hope you bounce back and find yourself in another E9X M3 soon. You should seriously sue or at least get that guy off the roads before he kills someone.

Had three step paint correction and Ceramic Pro applied. Had no idea how hammered my paint was as it had enough wax on it to hide most of the damage and without looking close you really did not notice.

Looks incredible now.

How did you take out your side markers? I have carbon fiber ones I've been sitting on for months because I can't get them out. Scoured the internets, can't seem to get either the packing tape or screwdriver to the side methods to work for me. Thinking at this point I'm just going to ask the shop to take the wheels and fender lining off and unclip them from the inside.

Pretty sure there is a DIY on that but I just carefilly pried the orange ones out and the smoke ones pressed in. The side grilles were even easier but scarey as you really have to yank them out with tape, great DIY for that too.

The side bumper reflectors are easy, just stick your nails/fingers on the top of them push down and out they go. As far as the gills go, there's a video on YouTube for that. The guy uses packing tape. I followed his example and it worked perfectly Here's a link.

Thank you, trying to get the gills out. Tried the packing tape method a couple times and can't seem to pull hard enough. I'll give it another go.

Beautiful. Love the wheel color on jet black. I've also got an e92 M3 in jet black and your post makes me want to get this done to my paint as well!
