Pics of my M3, finally back on the road

Post Sat Apr 23, 2005 3:54 pm

still missing one centre cap...

straight after respray and plenty of wax!

interior is like this when its clean!! Haven't had the time yet

Spec

Late 215bhp model

Full respray in Brilliant Red

Top engine rebuild and Timing chain 35000 miles ago by Munich legends
Short shift
Full Miltek exhaust (cat bypass)
K&N filter
Bilstein Shocks
Black diamond drilled discs all round, Mintex 1144 pads front, Black Diamond predator pads rear.
16" BBS with eagle F1's all round
Black leather, AC and no sunroof
Sport evo brake ducts

Infintity components front, JBL 6x9's rear
Haven't put the head unit in yet as I've been listening to the buzzy four pot and the exhaust for the last couple of days.

No further mods planned to go on as of yet as I'm still deciding whether to keep it. Have some 18" BBS RSII's and H&R racesprings to go on if its staying.

Looks awesome!

Would be great with the 18" BBS's! How can you consider selling it now it's looking like that?!

I did actually get another one and then one from the front went missing from the garage so they are going to replace it.

The car's sold I think

Post Sun Jul 31, 2005 5:07 pm

what a god dam shame, thats one hot m3 mate

Post Sun Jul 31, 2005 5:11 pm

Engine died before it was sold as well IIRC

Post Sun Jul 31, 2005 7:02 pm

I've got to say Imran, that's a weird spec, heated leather, aircon, and wind up windows!

I've seen a few M3's like that, wind up windows, electric sunroof etc!

Post Mon Aug 01, 2005 7:53 pm

yeah was a bit weird spe wise.Used to get peed off about the windows sometimes but it was a minor point. Car is now sold. Has been gone for about 3 weeks and i'm not missing it yet. The ZM Coupe is a more than worthy replacement

Hi Imran

Stunning mate...absolutely stunning.

What are you using to wash and wax?

I am about to buy this Zaino stuff that's been negotiated for Zoners.

Cheers
