Picked up a new toy

[m3f_TMAC_]

I picked up a new toy this week thanks to the help of a good friend. I will take better pictures once she is in my possession and detailed.



Specs: 1999 E36 M3 with full suspension (Turner Motorsports springs, sways, after market shocks, Active Autowerke strut bars), custom audio, staggered BBS 19" CHs finished in Porsche Seal Grey, K40 installed, OBD1 conversion including correct intake manifold, Active Autowerke intake, exhaust and tune, custom recovered interior, Momo steering wheel, shift knob, and boot, short shift kit, Momo e-brake handle, DEPO head lights, suede headliner and pillars with M stitching. There are more mods but you get the point ;D

Needs a lot of work, but hopefully you can save it! Was the entire car dipped in white?

Congrats.


And welcome...


Please tell us you are buying regular corner lights and not keeping the robot eye ones..

[m3f_M_Parallel]

Has great potential.


But why oh why do people color code mouldings and even worse, the diffuser? The nice thing about not being a black car is the nice contrasting diffuser insert. By color coding it, it looks like it's one big mould the bumper came out of and looks cheap.


OEM chrome grills, everything that should be black made black again, ambers all around and you have a nice car.

Yikes, that one got beaten with an ugly stick. Hopefully you'll save it and do it some justice. Congrats on the purchase, it definitely has potential.


2 head units? Any idea what that valve is, installed in the brake booster line?

[m3f_TheJDub-E36]

Nice find, like everyone else has already said black molding, black diffuser and get rid of the corners but it does have a ton of good stuff on it as well.

Has potential. Needs de-modding.

Equalizer.



My guess on the valve would be no valve but a different route to maybe the ICV since it has the M50 intake manifold on it.

Yep, another typical BMW board...........

Perhaps you were expecting a standing ovation?



On this forum most people give constructive criticism. Don't be offended. These are all just opinions and you won't go to jail if you decide to ignore everyone. Forums are full of opinions you know.



If you like it the way it is just ignore us.



Regardless, congratulations on your purchase.

[m3f_E/M3]

Moulding is what makes the car, never get rid of it.

I think most would agree that this place is quite the polar opposite of BF and most other groups.

[m3f_camdinans3]

Yep, another typical BMW board...........

why even post it then if you're going to have that attitude?



If you like the car that way then have at it, no one has to like it except you. But when you post it on a notoriously OEM obsessed forum, what do you expect?



do you want us all to kiss your ass and commend you for such an excellent purchase?



Hell you got badgtho to say it had potential. Fuck dude....you've gotten further in 1 post than I've gotten in 6 years. You've won.

I'm sorry. Let me bow down to your hacked up, repainted tuned by China example.

I think if the guy likes the car. You guys should just leave it alone. I don't think he expected an ovation but at least he doesn't deserve to get hammered. It is just like my LED tails, I like them and anyone who doesn't like them, can kiss my ass!
