Paintmatched reflectors and darkened (not smoked) turn indicators. Will bring the visual presence of the front to a whole new level. While being likely 2 of the cheapest mods you will ever do to your car. Trust me on this, 3x E46 M3 owner here and I've played around with a lot of different combos. Your clean OEM look is boss, get rid of the orange and no one will notice it's gone but the car will look new age without it.
300k+ miles on this M3, it would be a great video if you could tell us some more about the maintenance that was done to this car in its lifetime. Just an idea! Thanks!
@@IgnitionTube didn’t you say it was a one owner car? I’m sure the last owner wouldn’t mind telling you what he had done over the years to keep it on the road, I would watch that video if you made one
The paint in my 12 year old Audi looks way worse than this but only at the front, the hood is full of rock chips and the bumper has a few cracked paint parts and a few rock chips, I guess I’ll paint everything and then put PPF, I don’t get how it has so many rock chips because it’s 2010 and it has 51k miles
be careful ramping that speed up you dont want to burn through the paint stick it to about 2/3k rpm if that and nice range of motion and use a medium pad as i can imagine the paint has swirls/minor imperfections
@@jetro7349 anythings possible haha but he seems like he's moving it around quite well I saw him crank it up to setting 5 which I thought was high but he's got good movement
He is using a porta cable. I use a 3401 flex and practiced on a old junk yard hood it took like 7 mins leaving it in one spot on full speed to make a burn mark which you would never do.
Going to be one of the nicely looking high mileage e46 M3 out there. Looks like the shop is working out nice for you.

Interesting thought - no idea on maintenance history tho!

Bot a lot of flat/large panel areas to polish on these cars, nice job.
I think all your missing is tinted windows but looks really clean now
I’m not sure I’m gonna tint the windows on this one!!
Looking great! 🤤
Looks really really nice....Find someone who does paintless dent repair to pull that dent out from the driver’s door

Hello my name a Borat

I’ve been doing it this way for a long time with no issues but thanks for your input!!
I knew he wouldn’t listen to any advise. Hahahahahahahahaha
Almost impossible to burn through paint with a DA polisher. Bigger risk would be running the backing plate against something
