    As an addition to all that's included in the purchase price, I asked them to replace items that even checked out OK like the chassis mounts, fan clutch and fan blades. They've been very fair, in fact pretty generous, about not charging me labor for these change orders and then some. Sorry for any confusion.

    Like many auto enthusiasts, I'm OCD to a fault and don't have time to waste so value having the car be ready to enjoy the moment I pick it up. I even bought a new OEM steering wheel and shift knob just to stash. I was willing to pay their asking price to replicate my only experience with the E46 M3 over two decades ago: First owner, 8 miles young.

    Suffice it to say it's my first time doing business with them buying this Time M for Machine. I'm happy with what they're delivering thus far. Final verdict coming when I have the car, butt in seat.

    P.S. Catching up about Miles End Composite - good stuff!

    Bid for the chance to own a 2003 BMW M3 Coupe 6-Speed at auction with Bring a Trailer, the home of the best vintage and classic cars online. Lot #173,884.


    Subsequent work performed by Enthusiast Auto Group of Cincinnati, Ohio, totaled more than $31k and involved refreshing the interior and exterior, adjusting the valves, and installing a replacement windshield, oil pan gasket, and Competition-specification brake rotors.

    Nostalgia bug bit me as I recently picked up an EAG sourced, four-digit miles, 6-speed w/ pristine ownership history. I'm no Mr Money Bags, but I do plan on actually piling on 5K miles per year as a pure pleasure vehicle with zero hesitation. Right off the bat, I'm modifying it with all new parts: KW V3s, BBS LMs, Eisenmann 76s, full Vorsteiner CSL kit and Xpel PPF. I'm certainly stashing the stock bits.

    To baseline, all fluids will be new. Though not needed, I'm also refreshing the RTABs, engine mounts, transmission mount, VANOS, fan clutch, fan blades and some known leaky rubber bits like the engine oil pan gasket, etc. I'll be removing the CDV as I couldn't stand it when I had my 2004 bought new eons ago.

    If I keep it long enough, I'll look at preemptively reinforcing the subframe mounting points. I'm guessing I'm pretty far off from cracking open the S54 to service the rod bearings. Engine oil will be changed every 3K with no maintenance expenses spared. Just gotta keep the shiny side up.

    Great to be here!
