VERY nice! what exhaust is that?

Thank you. I like your car very much as well. Exhaust is Solid Design. It was a Japanese copy of the amuse exhaust.

I truly appreciate every time I think about selling my car I read and see owners who come back to this platform after getting into the cars that I want next.

Guess it stays lol.

Awesome build man. Thanks for not getting a Rosso Corsa Ferrari like everyone else too.

Yes. Freshly maintained e46 m3 with a few mods are up there with anything.
I think rosso corsa ferrari color is over rated. Tried pozi, grigo and nero so far.

Thank you for the compliments. Seats are sparco spx.

[timmo]

A clean example. Very well done!

Then someone made me a high offer on my 2011 slicktop e90 so I sold it and picked up an m2c.








The m2c is awesome and is probably faster than the m3 but guess which car I prefer?

Now it was time for an exhaust.


Dinan exhaust painted.



Dinan exhaust sounds awesome but was on the heavier side. Picked up a TI exhaust.



Installed. Weighs around 10 pounds.



But the exhaust was way too loud for me. Drone was too much. Sounded closer to my old ss race. So i took a chance and ordered Yanoka section 1 and problem solved.
Sounds much more restrained and most importantly does not drone.

Interior was next. Replaced anything that had a mark on it. Lots of boring parts but they all add up to make the interior look brand new.



Refurbed door panels









New Seats and door gaskets. g7 brake pedal.


Decided to take out the radio harness as well.

[akshon]

Swapped out to clear and chrome with red bbs caps



So much cleaner. No angel eyes this time.



Red Caps

[akshon]

Then decided to do some fun mods. 4.10 Gears, z3 rack, Eventuri Intake, BBS Wheels









Needs a drop



Purchased coilovers. Rear shocks changed out.



Dropped



With its bro e90

First pics after purchase



Decided to mod the exterior first. The car was in unbelievably clean condition. Repaint front and rear bumper and side skirts. Install Lang CF roof, Karbonius Diffuser, Karbonius Splitters, Euro Bumper with shaved fog light.
