    BaT E46 LSB M3

    Well. Figured I'd intro my M3 after having this for about 5 months now. Picked this up on BaT. Yes, it was highly modified, and wasn't stock, but it didn't bother me. It was local and I didn't have to ship it either.

    Lo and behold, it was someone I had work with before on my other cars, so the transaction was easy and if there were any issues, I could take it to him. It was all worth it though.

    Mods aren't all done yet, but in due time. The Mile End CSL front is on the way, waiting to alcantara wrap the headliner before the CSL Roof goes on, so should be done before January. Then it's refresh the diff and probably rebuild/reinforce the engine to be bulletproof. Not going to oversize the bore or anything, just want that OEM+ and keep it NA all the way.

    Mods on it when I purchased it:

    Vorsteiner GTS3 Diffuser
    Autosolutions Ultimate Short Shift Kit
    Rogue Engineering Diablo Exhaust
    CPI Rasp Terminator
    Status Gruppe Sec 2
    Status Gruppe Carbon Fiber CSL Front Bumper/One-Piece Lip
    Apex ARC-8 Wheels
    Ground Control Coilovers
    Dinan Intake
    Dinan Throttle Body
    Dinan Front Strut Bar
    Dinan Pulleys
    Dinan Stage 4 Software
    Mishimoto Aluminum Radiator and Electric Fan

              I'm contemplating adding a 3rd set of wheels....but I'm already feeling guilty with having a 2nd set, so we'll see....It'd likely be a set of TE-37V Mark II's...

                    Thank you! Today, I'll be working on removing the interior trim so they can get wrapped in alcantara. Waiting on new front windshield to arrive. And then off to the shop to get the RKP roof installed. Other than that, that's really the last big ticket item I've got planned!

                        Loved it. But now I have the Dixis which is what the Diablo was based off of, but it is waaay lighter hence why it only required one hanger on each side rather than the 2/1 like most mufflers. Absolute quality on the Dixis

                          Very nice car you have here. Since you’re running out of stuff to do I would look into getting cams and followers.

                          With such a fine list of mods I would definitely remove the Status Gruppe section 2. Look into the Supersprint dual pipe 2.5 section 2.

                            Engine rebuild will be next yr's project. Gotta give myself a break since I've spent a solid 5 figures already. SG sec 2 doesn't bother me. I may go Rogue sec 2 down the line.

                              Yes a break is definitely needed. I’m sure it costed a ton but the end result was well worth it. Looking forward to seeing your progress.
