Can't wait to see what he does with this one..... sounds like he has big plans for this one too..... just a few months ago he picked up a sweet E36 M3 which he has been refreshing. Must be nice when you can afford tens of thousands of bucks in car mods every month !

Nothing special or out of the ordinary. He'll probably do the usual mods and it'll be sort of plain, not sure why people are excited for this.

He mentioned karb box box and roof, hopefully no vossens or some such (guessing spacers on stock wheels). It'll look like pretty much every other m3 out there unless I am missing something. Still nice to see an e46 in the fleet though and he's a pretty good guy.

jet_dogg if you don't understand why people would be excited to watch someone spend fuck you money on a car we all like basically just because he can... Then idk what to say. He also just tends to put together a pretty nice car and there is something satisfying about that to watch.

Surprised he didn't go with a more interesting interior spec though. I had expected him to go m texture, and trim some bucket seats to match, much like he plans to with his E36. Maybe he didn't want to step on Wahba's toes

Please tell me because I would love to know, what do you think he will do or consider fuck you money to an m3? I want to understand what you think will happen that I am possibly ignorant about.

I don't really care whether you find it interesting or know what's going to happen. I was only saying that if you can't understand why others might find that engaging then you are ignorant of quite a lot I would say. For some of us, the idea of a somewhat unlimited budget on a fairly affordable car is intriguing. He will easily spend 10s of thousands on a car that he already paid 65K for, and likely in a very short space of time. We are definitely getting to that territory with respect to this being a 20 year old M3. Each to their own, no one is making you watch it lol.

Ok so you've typed five sentences and weren't able to illustrate your point, got it. I'm not quite sure why you always feel the need to be the white knight all the time but there wasn't any judgment passed onto him or his cars. I like the guy and his cars are plain. Some people have already spent tens of thousands on their cars but since you are in new zealand I can see how this would be "exciting" for you to look at a mostly stock looking m3 "lol".

He's going karb box (not oem), roof, basic brembo gt kit, prob uuc shifter (he got one on his e36), probably some bmw or dinan pedals, ohlins coilovers (half the people here), spacers for zcp wheels, aftermarket seats and probably doing supersprint headers while trying out 5 exhausts everyone has already tried out (bc he'll hate the rasp) and no cams. He won't get a dyno tune and will most likely install a canned tune in order to work with the airbox. There's going to be a ton of guys commenting that he should do this or get that because they had it and loved it (even though they had garbage) and there will always be those guys talking about their past m3 ownership just so they can hear themsevles talk lmao. There, I summed it all up, let's see if I'm right.

[Thoglan]

jet_dogg Nope, I illustrated my point in the first two sentences and your response reinforced it. I am not questioning your ability to guess what mods he will do, most of us would have arrived at a similar conclusion. The fact that you ran down the laundry list at all means you missed the point entirely. I literally said "I don't really care if you know what's going to happen" and you proceeded to tell me what you think is going to happen and expect to prove your point. I'll say it again, we'll see if you read it this time. I don't care whether YOU find it engaging, but if you can't understand why others might then you are not thinking very hard. Even on this enthusiast based forum, most people here do not have every mod on that list even if they want it. Some people like to see that fantasy play out.

Side note: Insulting the country I'm from, nice, that's classy.

And with all that you've managed to address none of my points and somehow find a way to get offended LOL!! God forbid there be a discussion with alternate viewpoints on a discussion forum of all things haha.

Good day to you.

I did address them, have done twice now, and they are all very irrelevant to whether someone might enjoy it anyway. Whether or not you know what's going to happen or whether someone has already spent 10s of thousands on their m3 before has no bearing on whether or not someone else might find it interesting. There are plenty of reasons someone might be excited about what he is doing. It's interesting seeing someone live out the fantasy of an uncapped budget for those who can't, it's interesting to see his impressions of popular mods, it's interesting to those mods done to such a low mileage and decent example to begin with, it's interesting to see the process of those mods being applied in a high quality and well documented format... I could go on. But maybe asking you to understand others have different reasons for watching is a little too much clearly.

I'm not offended don't worry. It is just always surprising when someone makes such an on the nose inflammatory comment like you did, speaks volumes. I am all for discussions of alternate viewpoints, love them in fact, seems like that's what we are doing, no?

Gentlemen, I don't think anything Matt will do to the car will be unique as most of the veteran forum members here have pretty much done it all so nothing will surprise them. The value that Matt brings is going to be strictly from the entertainment value standpoint and his own unique way of documenting the process. The production quality of the content and all around OCD approach with the cleanliness of the environment he works in is what personally keeps bringing me back.

I'm curious, what mods do you believe aren't "plain"?

Let's keep the discussion civil and on topic here gents. We all have a general idea on what mods are the best for this car. To call it basic or plain, imo, is almost the same as if suggesting you would rather keep the car stock, which is boring. The mods that we all want (I.e. Intake, exhaust, brembos, etc) make the car better, end of story.

This.

There is really no reinventing the wheel on how to build these cars, but who cares. Each of our cars have their own unique flair and Matt will be building it to his taste via all the highest end parts, much like many of us here, all in effort to chase a better driving experience. Not to mention the level of detail it'll see. This car will see the same dry ice treatment as the E36 M3, the underside you'll literally be able to eat off of. Makes for some pretty undercarriage footage.

I will say this will definitely be a fun build to watch along with. As with the E36, it'll all be documented on video for us to enjoy. All of the video on either of these cars is outdated and not well produced, so it's going to be great to have a platform to share up-to-date and comprehensive info on the car. And along with that document all of the modifications many of us aspire to have along the way.

You can expect to see just about every exhaust combination possible until landing on one that is satisfactory.

Watch the Savagegeese review of his em1 build it's telling. he isn't a driving enthusiast, he's a bored old man blowing time with ig builds and I don't particularly find his content enjoyable.

Can’t say I’m thrilled that he gave EAG business with this M3 purchase either.

As if Dogg hasn't spent $$$ on his car lol

We all have
