Eight years ago this month, nothing much to say, it's still a great car - I just had the snows put on and a fresh detailing - it's only got 52k on the clock, so that helps!https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7564/15873383068_7a5ca7ca6d_b.jpg (https://www.flickr.com/photos/shrp11/15873383068/)

looks great, and I think some BMW engines don't even open up until 50,000miles.

Looks great. 8 years? Wow I've been through a lot of cars during that time period!

Still a beauty Ed! :thumbup: How is the interior holding up?

I hit 12.5k this morning and it feels like it's starting to clear its throat and open its lungs. This was just about the same mileage point I parted with the 135 with the same sensation. Scheduled for a blood transfusion next week, and that always seems to breathe new life into the drivetrain.

Wow I've been through a lot of cars during that time period!
Only 3 here (ZHP, and two E82's).

Interior looks great with only slight wear here and there, but solid and still comfy.

Cars are much different from when I was a kid - an 8 year old car with 50k would've felt old, this one really doesn't (except for its late 90's origins).

Ed's ZHP still looks great. I miss mine, but not as much as I miss my E36 M3. The E46 was like an E36 M3 with the edge knocked off, which was good and bad.

E46 aged well.

2002 E46 4-door sedan with 125,000 miles right here.

I've been lucky with this car, and continually enjoy driving it. I'm still planning on keeping her as along as I can, and will continue to spend money to keep her roadworthy....
