Update 01/16/2016:


Treated myself for Christmas with a Status Gruppe front lip and a Dinan muffler. Their is a little drone with at 3100rpm with the SS V1 headers without cats. Also annoying is that two of the tips are dummy tips. 🤬

When the CSL was released, I was amazed the sound the carbon airbox made. After buying the M3, it was always on my list of 'must have'. Long story short, I came across a Evolve box here on sale with spares. It is now mine!!




While I was doing the install, I went ahead and changed the plugs, fuel filter, valve adjustment, and changed the oil:










Now it is running Evolve's Alpha-N Tune.

Got a great deal on some OEM ZCP wheels from a local M3 owner:

***Transferred from M3F***

After over three years of ownership, I decided to start my build thread. I purchased it with only 37k miles on the ODO.

For those who think this M3 is familiar, well that is because I bought it from my brother back in 2012. Lucky for me, he did a few mods and mainly the reinforcement of the rear end. Here is what has been done to it by him:

-Rear sub frame reinforcement
-ZCP Brake Kit
-KW V2 Coilovers
-New rear subframe bushings and RTABs w/front lollipop bushings
-Turner reinforcement plates
-SS lines and brake stiffening kit
-Square setup
-Supersprint V1 headers
-Evolve tune


The way it looked as I received it.





...and what has been done....
New Bushings at 28k miles:

KW V2's w/reinforcement plates:




ZCP Brakes:





Finally, Supersprint V1 Stepped Headers:
