E46 BMW M3 build up

By b16a2vtiguy
- Sat Apr 10, 2010 4:02 pm #186806 So it was time to replace the ep3 type r with something alittle more prestige, but with out compromising the fun performance side, so an M3 was an ideal option with a 3.2 343bhp engine, rear wheel drive and lots of soft leather.
Its also de-limited so 155mph is no longer the top speed :twisted:

Factory options...

Harmon kardon sound system
Factory 19" wheels
LED rear lights
Window tints
Black window surrounds
Sat nav
6 disc changer
Phone kit
TV tuner
Factory alarm
Bmw mats

Congrats on moving up in the world. :thumb:

X2 on that color question, I havn't seen one like that in the US or online before.

Got this for a good price, its a ac schnitzer rear diffuser.

Image

Image

Not a fan of the chrome to be honest, tryed it on and hated the chrome straight away....so it came straight back off again :roll:

Image

So, out came the cans of paint and masking tape....

Image

Image

Image

All i need now is some black allen headed bolts and i'll get it fitted, heres a quick pic of it resting on the exhausts until the bolts are sourced.

Image


Opinions?? :wink:
