UPDATED PICS ON PAGE 2

Picked my new to me E36 M up last week and could not be happier. Many of the non-noobs know I've lusted after thia car for quite some time now, and I've finally made my (realistic) dream come true. I purchased a 1997 Alpine White/Black E36 M3 5speed coupe. The car was a 2 owner southern car, with 98k on it. The PO's father owns a local shop, German Autowerks, and the car had a lot of preventative maintanence done within the last 8k miles. The whole cooling system, various worn out suspension parts and a good bit more. All inspections have been done and documented in the owners manual via BMW dealerships.

I must say, for a car with only ~240 crank HP, this sum'b kicks your ass into the seat HARD

Only mods on the car are a Dinan v2 exhaust, Dinan strut tower brace, black kidney grills, and the 18x8.5 F / 18x9 R custom gloss black BBS RGR wheels. They also have the "forged" japanese red center caps. I also put my 5300k McCullough HIDs in the car until I get some ZKW headlights with goodies.

I've already ordered a few parts, along with a few maintenance items such as new transmission oil, diff. oil, engine oil, UUC transmission mounts with enforcers (no moneyshifts for me :lol), and I'll be getting new brakes in the next 5k or so.

Anyways, I only have some crap quality camera phone pictures ATM, as my 6 year old digi. camera finally shat out on me. Also, a quick video of the Dinan exhaust.



With the HIDs




Wheel shot, they're super glossy IRL.


MINT interior, next to no bolster wear on either seat, along with brand new floormats. I also cleaned the tri-color steering wheel stiching yesterday.




And the vid, better ones will be posted shortly.



I'll be updating this thread with MUCH better pictures to show the true condition of this car when I get use of real camera. Also, as my mods come along, pics will be posted. I just wanted to throw a quick "intro" together.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, the only "flaw" on the car is a minor rock/paint chip on the lower part of the front bumper, below the mesh. (can be seen in the 1st picture).

I have a UUC 3-way adjustable CF spoiler on the way that I'll be having painted, and in the process, a front end respray, too. To make it look truly mint

I liked the white on black, then the BBSes completely sold me. I hope you still pimp the E30

Lookin' great! I know you are a Bimmer fan, so congrats. Nice rims, but for some reason they look slightly off on that car to me. Gotta love a nice M3 though.

Sure do.




As far as the near future goes, just a CAI, Conforti Shark Injector, and maybe a few other little things. I'm focusing more on maint. items and appearence right now, as the performance is already awesome.

But my plan is to have a set of Sunbelt Sport Cams, M50 Manifold, 3.5" HFM (instead of 3"), injectors, and some other supporting mods by the start (June) of summer '08. With a good tune, that should take me to at the very least, ~250whp, most likely closer to 260-270

Thanks man. Definitely still drive the E30, we actually just got done with it today at the shop. New timing chain and some other maint. items. It runs/drives a whole lot better now

In the twisties, more like peace-out to the Shelby But really, I bet that Shelby's quickkk.

Thanks Andy, I'll hit you up 'bout that soon.

I already am It was funny, on Sunday I drove the Legend to the store, and got on a hill and felt weird when the car rolled forward instead of back


Thanks to everyone else who commented aswell.
