    Finally! My LSB M3 is almost fixed

    It’s been a 5 year odyssey trying to get my m3 fixed after a front end crash where I hit a small light pole (fell asleep) almost dead on. Luckily I wasn’t going fast and it was the middle of the night (worked 4pm to 2am). The car hit the pole almost dead center and broke the pole concrete poll) . Thankfully I was fine save a broken molar. The car sat for years covered up as I only had liability at that point after years of getting gouged for full coverage on it (had a ton of mods). I took it to a shop in OC that races the e 46 m3 and crossed my fingers. It took them about a year to get it back to normal ( I was in no rush). At least on the surface it looks amazing again. Next I embarked on getting the engine and suspension repairs. As it had messed up the front suspension and my coil overs I was dreading what it was going to cost. The mechanic said a few new hoses , new control arms and cleaning out the manifold as well as flushing ahd replacing all the fluids. 7k in work. Then I also had to begin the process with the dmv to get it re registered. I pick it up wed of next week. I hope it’s as close to normal as possible. What else should I be looking to do after all that happened maintenance or mod wise to make the car more structurally sound or just recommendations?

      First off... you are very lucky to be alive. And sounds like the car has sat for a very long time so needs extra care... hopefully you didn't take it to Lang Racing in OC?

            Shoddy, overpriced work that they don't stand behind. There's a lot of great BMW shops out there so why support a low-mid quality one?

              Interesting. I had only heard about Lang mentioned multiple times when researching SMG to manual conversions. I didnt know they had a bad rep
