Ah man, I am happy that you bought an E46' even tho I am not big fan of fortysix look, but I was thinking of getting one after I sold my Altezza two years ago and before I got my M4' just to use it as a track toy, but I turned my plans around instantly when right E36' popped up for sale. Damn man, you better don't disappoint me and build it correctly and I am sure that you will do it right! Can't wait to see this build take off, I can tell that hanging out in my shop around BMW's got you feeling some kind of way too haha!
Also congrats on your current life situation, everything is gooood my man!
