I love you Daniel. Only one Batman tattoo! Think it's the Wiltshire air.
Got some Bosch wiper blades uber cheap from eBay and my silver M3 mirrors, lovely but in need of a respray:
For a capable daily car that weighs a bit but with ample power I feel they drive perfectly. Now that I have the new wheels on it really points in the right direction.
They are easily chuckable, I can wheelspin quite easily in a frustrative mood without much effort and they take roundabouts and...
Rear toe-in has been aligned and tracked, actually drives well aside from the scraping. Believe the rear quarter hasn't been fitted properly in the past, could do with the arch being pulled out to justify it or someone looking underneath and find out why it's like it is...
Haha, all personal tastes, the tattoo is much better than the terrible instagram photo shows!
Interior, dad is happy with so no worries!
Wheels may not stay if I can't sort the rear arch but to me they look so good! Ideal wheels would be a set of 18" CSL reps though!
They're on eBay mate :)

Never answered your question about the M3 mirror, it's basically the same but has a different shape, is expensive too but very sought after!
Thanks Andy, not to everyone's taste...
So nice update again!
First thing is the sunblind with the parcel shelf, all cleaned off now, as mentioned above waiting for the wiring to come in.
New button I received yesterday! Nice to finally have some bolster support!
In even better news though... Finally got some new alloys! Got...
Yes, completely agree, came out of a silver M3 and gone into a silver 330! Think dad is having a late mid life crisis but he's happy so that's all good.
Plus he washed my car for me fitting the interior, still don't think it's a completely fair swap!!
Ordered a new bolster support switch...
Despite the shocking tattoo today's job was fitting dad's new M3 interior, two tone laguna seca blue and black which looks amazing imo!
I had the 5 second glory of fitting an M3 interior mirror to my car! Parcel shelf will be alot of work and I can't be bothered after fitting all of the new...
Haha! M3 interior has better support, more upmarket leather and you sit lower down for a better driving position.
Tattoos are never to all tastes, I did hate them but thought "f**k it why not?"
So, not really much of an update! What with Xmas and the snow recently the car has been at the back of my mind.
Money well spent on wheels/tyres went on a tattoo instead, which is healing nicely at the moment.
Things I have bought or received recently for the car are:
Braided brake lines for...
Question for you Dave, my mate has a grandad spec Golf+ but he's finally opened up to the idea of splashing some cash on it (it's a 2.0TDi) so he's bought himself the RCD 200? Or something like that to play copied CDs and have an Aux in but was wondering about buying himself some interior...
No problem :) MV1s will be a nice addition but they are a bloody pain in the arse to keep clean!
Things to do will keep piling up haha! BMW bits just bolt on from one car to another! Such a nice way to do stuff.
Lovely! Looks odd on the 17s!
Could've been much worse with the spin! LED rears really enhance the prefacelifts :)
Looking forward to seeing progress on this though!
Definitely store it Nick! Such a rare car wouldn't be worth it in the long run! I'll always regret selling my vulcan grey shed!
Looking forward to the update where it's all 100% ;)
I've done it on mine, tbh it didn't really make a difference!
I hammered the butterfly valve out of the second tailpipe which was jammed shut, think it gave me a bit more idle noise but nothing dramatic.
