My E46M3 Carbon Swartz

Hi, time for a thread.... I've had my e46 m3 now for 18 months and she has been a gem... 50,000 miles full history and a proper gearbox. Thorney exhaust system with sports cats, carbonaro induction pipe and of course de limited and re mapped.. The car has been very well looked after and garaged most of its life. She pulls very well indeed and is a lovely car in every way.

All was going well until two weeks ago and she got damaged by winds so I decided to get her back to new condition

I was slightly angry to say the least and the builders responsible have insurance to cover the repair. I managed to convince my insurers that I wanted my favorite paint shop To sort her out and they finally agreed . Then I made a few requests and added some money to make the repair go a little further

This was Friday
