Dream come true

tizzyd · 04-25-2020, 11:10 PM

Hey guys - have been a long time member of E90post and just wanted to come over and introduce myself over here as well. I've always wanted an E46 M3 and finally pulled the trigger today. I've known the car for a long time, so when the chance to buy it popped up I jumped.

Specs:
'03.5 M3
Carbon Black/Black
Originally SMG, 6MT swapped April of 2019
76.5k miles

Mods:
Vorsteiner CSL Front Bumper
Vorsteiner rear CF CSL Diffuser
Turner rear sway bar
Dinan Stage 3 tune
Dinan Exhaust
AFE Magnum Force Stage 2 CAI
3.90 diff
Ground Control coilovers, camber plates
Koni shocks and Eibach springs
Turner Motorsports F/R swaybars
Autopower half-cage/rollbar
Alcon 6 piston front calipers with 345mm OEM CSL rotors
Alcon 4 piston rear calipers with 328mm OEM CSL rotors
Also came with a set of Forgeline GZ3 w/ Toyo R888s

Super excited. Drove the car and it is everything I had hoped and more. Have some slop in the shifter, PO said the bushings were new so any ideas how to tighten that up would be appreciated. Some quick and dirty pics below, full photoshoot to follow!
