2014 has arrived, green e46 updates!

[hi its me alec]

So it's been a long time coming, but today my manual swap finally started. My friends got a perfect parts car at their shop, transmission even had a good clutch in it already, and it didn't take long after that for me to drop my car off there and wait.

All of this happened this afternoon, trans should be in tomorrow!
























I can't believe how dry the rear main seal is. Build date 10/98 and the car has 120,000 miles.

Snow is raging from the sky right now, so no rush either way because I won't be driving it any time soon...

Thanks man, I still haven't found a color I like more than this one

The interior has been a hit or miss, most people like it though. I really want to do cinnamon brown as soon as it's a possibility

Minneapolis, MN. Roads are terrible here but I manage just fine.
