U2usual's 2002 BMW M3 Ringtool Build Thread

Hello everyone,

Wanted to start a continuation build and progress thread for my 2002 E46 BMW M3.

Bought the car in 2016, the car was built for the GTS-3 auto racing series. I tracked it a few times after making some modifications and then shipped it across to Europe to do a few track days in Spain. The plan was to bring the car to the Nurburgring where Greenhell Performance took the car from the GTS-3 spec to a street legal ringtool.

Here is the car in its current form:



This is what it came from:






Current Parts List:

Suspension/Brakes:
Tck line D/A front S/A rear Custom Spring Rates
Turner Camber Plates
Turner Rear Control Arms
Full solid bushings and fully reinforced
Front and Rear Strut Braces and Sway Bars
Stoptech ST-40 Front BBK w/Hawk Pads
Stoptech Rear Rotors w/ Hawk Pads

Interior:
Wechsler 6 Point Roll Cage
Fire Suppression System
Schroth 4-point Harness
Recaro Pole Position Seats

Engine:
Turner Race Pulleys
Euro/CSL Headers
Custom Race Tune
4.10 Diff
Bimmerworld Oil Cooler
Milteck Exhaust
CSL Replica Airbox
Electric 16" Fan

Exterior:
Enkei NT0-3 18x10 w/ BFG 265/35/18
M219/260 Square 18x9.5 MPSC2s 265/35/18
GTS Style Rear Spoiler
Carbon Roof
CSL Diffuser
ACS Style Front Lip Mold

Some action shots before the rebuild


Then the car made it across the pond to Barcelona.










The the changes began for the Ringtool Build:

New Cage Legal for RCN/VLN
Carbon Roof
New Doors/Windows
Changing Spring Ratings
Electrical Clean-Up







Lots of progress can been seen through my IG account _m3ir_

Here are some shots from the trackdays/TF last year:




Hoping when things calm down a bit to get some more content for 2020!

Some updates from a few weeks ago. Fixed the fitment on the diffuser and the front bumper grill kept coming off so had to epoxy it on. Car felt great!
