...for those of us who want to keep our E46s forever, that is.
I was working on the car today and thought about the headlight lenses I just replaced and how since I got them from FCP, when the new ones start deteriorating, I can just invoke the warranty and get replacements, but...
There will be a point at which replacements will stop being manufactured.
I'm a big rotorhead and love the first-gen ('79-'85) RX-7 and many parts for it are now NLA. Not sure what the situation is with BMWs from that era.
For my 240Z, I can basically build a car from scratch since it's a collectible, but the E46 will never reach that status, so it's a fair bet many parts will be NLA eventually.
Thoughts?
