Now that made my day.

I just drove 10 1/2 hours in the driving rain today down to the race shop in Atlanta and back in the E46. Normally a 4 hour drive each way. It looked about like that. I know what I will be washing tomorrow, man it got filthy.

Picked up my painted 4.8iS front bumper from the race shop today. Plans on assembling it and mounting it Christmas day.

Going to complete the look of your truck for sure. You have all the bits and bobs for the bumper? BMW really complicated the bumper setups on these with all kinds of fasteners, brackets, and plastic trimming.

Yes sir. My current bumper already has all the washer nozzles, hoses, clips, fog light covers, new grilles, etc.

The only thing I am retrofitting that I did not already have is the cover with the lower aero valance and the front PDC sensors and harness. The donor bumper needed paint and was missing a couple of sensors and the harness was mangled. Took care of that weeks ago on fleaBay and pretested with programming.

Got the 4.8iS front bumper cover all assembled and installed today taking my time and cleaning everything as I went. Came out really nice with retrofitting the front PDC system. I still need to spend some more time on the computer tomorrow programming the speed/distance disabling of the PDC so the front sensors work as I am pulling in and out of parallel parking spots. Right now the PDC system is programmed as only active in reverse.

Drove it...
It's ugly and dirty but oh how she drives!
That 4.8 power is so useable.

I have something similar on mine, makes getting it aligned properly much easier.

Yeah I've seen some other ones for twice the cost. This one I think is new to the market. As I searched for a cheaper alternative for a long time, then suddenly these popped up.

I just ordered the some febi camber arms. And lemförder lower ball joint and intergral link.
Once I swap those out. We'll see how long the febi lasts. Might try these ones next go around.
