New owner - Imola red

Hi all,

New to E46 section but joined Bimmerpost when I bought my F80.

Recently picked up a 2003 Imola Red M3 from a forum member. He had taken very good care of her, 64k miles, KWV3, ZCP rotors and wheels, Dinan exhaust and subframe reinforcement. Prior owners took care of rod bearings recall and replaced VANOS.

I'll be putting together a list of discreet and tasteful mods and eventually share the progress. Look forward to learning from you all.

A few pics:

Not too raspy and not too loud. But I have no basis to compare with stock as car came with it...

Ahh I remember when you were contacting me about my 05 ZCP, congrats!

If I had held onto that one, probably would've made another $10K (sold for $38K)

Very nice combo. Low miles and the big three addressed, good find. I also have a blue V-8 sedan, but mine is an E39.

Finalized some missing items of Inspection 2. I really liked VT Motorworks in Dublin, CA. Very knowledgeable folks.

New RTABs and steering couple made a big difference.

Now I have to save to buy Recaro Sporster Seats.
