Merry Christmas, OB... ;)

Now that made my day. :bustingup

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. :thumbup:

Going to complete the look of your truck for sure. :thumbup: 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. :rolleyes:

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. :thumbup:

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.

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.
