I bought a 95 M3 back in July of 2014. It was a second vehicle and I drove it a few thousand miles for the rest of the year. I bought a well maintained example, but it had been used sparingly for the previous 5 years. It had some nice mods, and some others I didn't care so much for. The book of receipts is in the 5 figures
*ACS Type III wheels
*H&R Sports with worn out bilsteins
*Racing Dynamics Strut Bar
*Racing Dynamics Headers
*BB Exhaust
*Turner Pulley Kit
*Racing Dynamics Front Splitter :|
*Hamman Rear Bumper :|
*Glass Moon Roof
*Two Tone Vaders and rear seats:|
*ZKW with Angel eyes
*Euro tails
*Carbon Hood
*And some other odds and ends
After the first couple of months the dipstick gasket was leaking so I fixed it. It was also missing. I also changed the oil, but besides that didn't do much.
Here is what it looked like when I got it.
Fast forward to April 2015, I decided I wanted to refresh the ugly angle eye headlights, corner lights, add yellow fogs, and do a complete cooling system refresh.
Pulled off the ZKW headlights and sold them for $75. They were pitted and the receipt was for them was from 2001 so they had been on there for a long time. The wiring was kind of janky and I didn't like the blue angel eyes.
Installed some regular Depo lights, Euro Fogs, and Euro corners and cleaned up the wires.
Next up was the cooling system. I did a Mishimoto radiator and then a refresh kit from ECS that included the main hoses, aluminum thermostat housing, thermostat, metal bladed water pump, some sensors, expansion tank and some other odds and ends. I also decided to do the valve cover gasket and put in some new sparkplugs.
I drove it a little bit here and there and then one night parked at my girlfriend's somebody stole my front bumper, corners, and a rear trim peice. They broke the tabs on the headlights, scratched up the fenders, and made me very pissed off.
