Looks superb.
It may have been asked before - but where did you get your steering wheel from?

Did you get your tracking sorted Q8?
If you've tried all the normal stuff, you might look at the rear wheel, I don't know for sure what would happen if it was slightly out of alignment, but that might affect the tracking to left or the right.
Just a thought.

For some reason (possibly to allow us to see the instruments a bit better) the wheel on almost all M3Ws is not aligned straight from the factory.
Harder to fix than you might think, I believe - requires pulling back the whole steering column and re-siting on the steering box.
Might be wrong on this one!!

Having the steering wheel, even slightly, out of alignment when straight ahead is so annoying, I can't stand it.
The best way I've found of straightening the wheel, is to change the tracking of each front wheel by screwing the tie rods in or out, exactly the same on each front wheel. It is a bit of trial and error, but does work. A word of warning though, just make sure that both wheels are moved in the same direction, it's really easy [for me at least] to move the wheels in opposite directions, and lose your toe measurement completely. I mark the track rod end with a small dab of white correcting fluid to indicate the amount of thread used.
