You asked for pics. I got pics!
So far, I've had all four rims cherried out by the dealer at their expense. I have also found a gear selector plate on EBay with the + forward and the - backwards as I prefer it. Paid $50 to the door. Pulled the old one off, disconnected the three connectors and plugged in the new one. Looks great. Next is an oil change. Hopefully, before the end of the month, I will be having ALL fluids changed as baseline for myself. I also swapped pads today with EBC Red Stuff and then painted the calipers Bright Red. I think they look good.

The color is Black Sapphire Metallic and the interior is the cream tan color. Almost looks white.

The licnseplate wasfor when I had a 1995 M3 coupe with a Dinan SC. Bought her, ctually ordered her, in 1995. Had the SC instaled with ~45K on the odometer. Wound up selling her (DAMNIT!) after six great years of ownership wth 99.8K on the odometer and stll with...the original brake pads on her. Hah!

NOT a typo. 99,800+ and had the ORIGINAL pads! Now, I did go through three clutches... You knew there was a catch, didn't you?

I absolutely love that color combo - high maintenance, but hey, that's half the fun of ownership! Nice wheels!!! Time to upgrade to LED tails - that would be the finishing touch. Inexpensive and easy mod.
