I was 23 when i got that car. Priorities where different...
have a look at this: http://bmw.houbi.ch/highend.htm this is what you do when you want the absolute maximum sound quality (not loudness...). I am 37y old and still have a better hearing than the avarage 18y.

I‘ve changed in the past 15 years.... certainly WON‘T put that much extra weight in a car for audio or anything else..... today I am much more focused on driving, not much more on multimedia (in a car)...

Still my nature is very extreme... perfectionis describes me very well. so for high-end audio this is what i use today, sitting in a nice chair and completely focusing on the music: https://pdf.highend-audiopc.com/reference-system.pdf

We will try to mark that day for you, at the "birth" of our F87 at the Welt. I will ask our BMW rep to stand with us, assuming there is a bakery in the building. My goal will be to have two cakes (ideally Black Forest) or maybe Sacher Torte (Austrian origin, but yum!), with birthday candles for our car and yours.

the guy who bought the car actually managed to get hit by a cow.
Now let's just let this work its magic on us for a while...

And he accidently ripped off the CSL carbon flaps...

Yes it is. And this after only three months....

The contact with the cow wasn't too desastrous at least.

That's a nice E46 you had there!

I got a brand new E46 330Ci 17 years ago. I still have mine; I'm too attached to sell mine. I feel bad that I don't drive it as much as my M2 though.

I empathize so much brother. Every couple years I try to find my specific e46 in the FS threads. That blue LED backlit must have taken painstakingly long to swap out each LED

My e46 330ci is now on 180k miles. It's had most of the signature weak spots (cam cover gasket still needs doing), but is rot free and fun to drive.

Completely (and I do mean completely) stock...
