Replaced my throttle actuators after finally getting a failure at 133k miles. Took some pics of the inside and of course it was typical worn gear failure. Unbelievable how BMW won't accept the blame for poorly designed gears.

Spent the weekend getting my new cage from jakob66 mounted in the car and built a simple rear seat delete. The bottom just rest in place and the back slips into the OEM rear seat holders and can be removed using the seat release in the trunk. Wrapped it all in black carpet.

Still have to get the seats back in the car. Waiting on a e90 rear console to come in to complete the center console and give it a more finished look.

Nice find, do you think this will work on the worn driver side bolster on the driver's seat?

Yes, but you should probably use this as a pre-treatment first.

Sorry about that.
If you're referring to an incident on Scott road where someone (I guess you) was motioning me to roll down my window while we were in traffic and I ignored you, well, I generally don't respond to those requests when I don't recognize who it is. I didn't even see what car you had.
Anyway, peace brother!

I’m just messing with you, I figured as your pillar was probably blocking my side marker.

There’s a few M3s in our area now. Space Grey E92 and an AW E92.

Very similar to me. Non-ZCP E90 but with 359 wheels. Are you planning on spacers at all?

I don't know if yours is you daily but I started to get bored of mine too when it was my daily driver. You kinda become numb to how great of a car it is when you drive it everyday. Now when I get out of my E46 and into the M its like
