M3 Stablemates: What else do you have in the garage?

[samthejam]

I've had this for 10 years been my main piece of transportation for school and work. Also 1986 535i that I just got running and driving after sitting for a decade, not sure what I will do with it.

The G01 is my favorite SUV for most of the same reasons. My favorite spec is the M40i in my opinion for its purpose. But X3M is an awesome dual purpose car

Yea especially with a little tuning the G01 can be an amazing daily. Good looking too. X3M is overkill in a lot of ways but I feel like it kills two birds with one stone if you have an itch to get a G80.

This thing is so cool.

Can you elaborate on this, are you saying the car you built didn't run a hood or was running open ITBs?

I wouldn't run open ITBs ahah. The car was hoodless.

LOL I wouldn't either, but I also wasn't expecting a hoodless reply too, lol. Did you document this build online anywhere?

I did not, wish I had the time for build journals like the old days. I even had both hoods to retrofit the E9X powerdome and vents but I ended up cancelling the project before getting to that.

What happened to the project, why did you cancel it? Was it a personal that you sold off or the client went elsewhere for the last bit?

The plan was to build a CA legal street car but once I realized that's seemingly impossible I lost interest, reverted the car back to stock and sold it.

Here is the build thread if you wanna read more about it. mye28.com is having some cert issues but still should be accessible.

What’s the weight difference between the X3M and M3? I drove my friends X3M a few weeks ago and it was awesome.

500-700 lbs depending on whether the G80 is RWD or AWD.

I dropped about 40lbs of unsprung weight with my wheel and tire set up too, with wider tires front and back.
