New pics of my Cecotto M3

[Dan318-is]

Looks as mint as ever! So what are the plans for the finishing touches for it then ben?

[m3ben05]

Maxfield - March is a no go for me mate, il be waist deep in my bitch of a final year uni project. Im sure we can sort something out.

Dan - long time no see mate, hows things? Just little things that bug me really, iv given up on my vision of a mint 300bhp e30 -

Iv already had 284 cams installed and a decent remap, the only other thing id like to have engine wise is a carbon airbox, im not chasing massive power figures

Scuttle is showing a tiny bit of rust so that needs sorting ASAP

Front seats want welding as they creak a bit and i want them re-leathered/padded

Black grill, smoked hella's and maybe smoked rears (i have some, just need to try em on the car)

Get rid of the crap exhaust thats on there ( i have a miltek waiting to be fitted)

Sport evo flap to replace that ridiculous DTM one i had (its here, just needs fitting)

Get the front bumper and bonnet resprayed because they have stone chips

Maybe a set of BBS RS's, not decided yet

Maybe a smaller steering wheel, the tech 1 is a bit big

[Dan318-is]

not much then! im good mate, going back to uni saturday and preparing for an onslaught of work. Most the things sound like perfectionist touches rather than problems lol still this is one of the mintest m3s iv seen.

[m3ben05]

Yea, im going back on sunday and have an exam monday - not looking forward to it at all

There all the kind of things that i shouldnt worry about but they can really piss me off!

I just want the car looking and going right before i concentrate on getting a replacement for my lowly e36 daily runner

[Dan318-is]

Whats the replacement for the dirrty sex?

[m3ben05]

Not sure yet, iv started saving but it really depends if i get the job iv been promised when i finish uni in may.

Id like a modern coupe with a bit of power but im still undecided as to what.

[Dan318-is]

tough call mate. u guna be at aces at the end of the month?

[m3ben05]

Yea i know, i dont want to get my hopes up of getting any serious machinery because if i dont get the job iv been promised i wont be able to afford it.

Wont be able to make ace this month, il be up at uni but il try to make next month

[Tom944]

Yea no probs mate, whats your email and il send you a copy

Jamie, that was a very shory 8 series ownership - whats up with it?

Dave, dont tempt me mate, an e30 that actually goes on the road - that would be pure luxury!

Very nice! I look forward to my M3 although that could be a while off

[m3ben05]

If you want it theres always a way mate - i got it at 19 because it was all i wanted at the time

[E30BeemerLad]

to me Ben, your car is everything that's right in an M3, looks the business and you obviously take good care of her.

[m3ben05]

why thank you kind sir

[rick318is]

Well nice ride bro

[m3ben05]

thanks mate

[dimebag_from_hell]

i dont understand at 19 how you can afford somthing like that, it must of been crazy money! i am 19 and all i want is a m3 evo sport........

[snoops]

dont m3s have side indicators on the wings?

[E30Mark]

dont m3s have side indicators on the wings?

Side repeaters were made compulsary around '88 in the UK, so any early imports don't always have them, they are supposed to be added to use them in the UK, but only if the MOT man notices....

[TW166Y]

fecking gorgeous Ben as ever. i wish i could have that very car. its awsome!

[m3ben05]

i dont understand at 19 how you can afford somthing like that, it must of been crazy money! i am 19 and all i want is a m3 evo sport........

It wasnt crazy money to buy but it certainly was to insure!!

Side repeaters - yes, it always gets mentioned by my MOT guy but he thinks "it would be a crime to cut the wings now", so he lets it slide


Thanks for the comments guys

[TW166Y]
