Help needed for mods on 2000 E46 - Ipod dock/Bodywork/Rims

[Bathingape888]

Hi all,I am very close to purchasing a 2000 Model E46 328 and need to ask help from the experts here about some immediate items that I need to work on in the car1) I don't use CD's anymore and just hate them, therefore I am going to be using Ipod Touch as my media player in the car. I know about the DICE ipod installation kit and where to get that installed but are there any alternative head units which i can swap the original one for an aftermarket unit where I can also keep the steering wheel controls for volume etc? I already have a Garmin Navi 255 that I will use in the car but if there is some sort of all in one solution with ipod connectivity/gps/video playback I would be very helpful for any recommendations2) Paint work: I want to get the black side skirting strip matched to the original body color, i know that there are paint shops all around but if there is one that you can particularly recommend in the PJ or Sunway area, would be very grateful3) Am planning to swap out rims for M3 style rims, again there are a lot out of sport rims shops out there but any personal experience from forum users here would be very useful in determining where is the first place i should start looking.Thanks in advance to members here for any advice that they can give!!
