Just done a deal to purchase this new toy

NOW before I get killed !! there are a lot of bits to change including Interior, Wheels, and probably remove the wrap but its all cosmetic!!

It does have some nice bits though including Alcon 6 pot Front Brakes, Full Carbon GTR Bonnet, Very nice stereo system, full stainless system front to back!!

Here it is





And the main bit!!!!

 

This will be very cool.
Most importantly where's the rr graph?

 

They are a lot of fun! plus has the best supercharger kit ( VF Engineering ) It has 4 stages and this should be stage 2 which is 480bhp

 

Very nice mate but deffo remove the wrap, take your time and buy a decent adjustable temp hot air gun otherwise laquer may come off with it!! I take it its Laguna Blue underneath?! (my FAV colour!!)

Chris

 

Surely the engine bays not been wrapped too? The turrets are dirty white.

A std m3 is quick so this should be very rapid. What torque?

 

I would get a 'professional' hint hint to do it!!

No its actually silver underneath...

 

Pretty cool car in there somewhere i reckon, what has been done management wise to fuel for the charger?

 

480 bhp and 340 torgue.. at 7psi

I am looking at that now cheers for spotting it Stu!

 

This should explain it all mate

- VF custom molded 3 gallon water reservoir system

Ok cool I do know of someone that can do this....

Turrets do look white though from the pics whether they got them painted when and if the engine came out?!

Chris

 

They are all like this apparently!! looked at a few online and they are all the same!

 

Indeed, normally BMW leave the engine bay in base coat.

It is a cool car once the leather/wheels/bonnet/lights and wrap are replaced

Went in a 600bhp dyno proven E46 M3 with a VF Engineering kit on it and it went very, very well.

 

Should mention is also has Alcon six-pots on it

 

Yep...and just checked and genuine Carbon GTR Bonnet is Ł1000

 

Good purchase, I can see why you bought it, and can make it look "normal" in a weekend!

 

Must go like stink! You'd probably recoup quite a bit selling off the undesirable bits and get it looking a lot more subtle.

Cracking motor though!

 

Cracking car mate & all the hard work is done

 

Exactly my thoughts! Will get some before and after pics for sure!

My mate had one that wasn't set up properly and had a boost leak and still felt a completely different animal to mine so this will be fun

Cheers Carlo

 

Cabrio?! .....oh.

I'd love to show mine some boost.. but the costs of doing so properly from scratch are pretty extreme unfortunately. You are waaay better off buying one that's already done like this. Look forward to seeing its journey back to a more OE-look Dan.


Cheers,
Grant

 

Sod off mine a cab already... the ladies love it

Yeah a good kit is like Ł6000 plus fitting!!

Will do a little resto I think on here

 

Should be a nice motor when you have de chaved it!

 

Pikey the car looks perfect for you as it is,,,, lol

 

I knew of this car when it was silver had black wheels and silver lip.

If its the same one it was based in London but i am sure its the same one.

Imo take it completely back to stock indicators and put diamond cut wheels on and it will look stunning

 

nice! It's not from Brum is it? Saw one that looked just like that (ie, awful - but I know you're changing it! ) the other day.

 

It is yeah mate lol

Won't take much to take it back to oe!

 

Looks a weapon and sure it will be nice once it been danned

 

im from birmingham..seen this a few times.sounds good

 

Cheers less!!

They do sound good!!

 

My car spotting skills are still strong then!

Bonnet looks great in the flesh - it does have some pretty shite aftermarket LED conversion lights too, worth swapping.

Nice buy though - have you sold the other M3 as you said looking for a more sensible daily and unless you're on meth this isn't a sensible daily!

 

Clients should be impressed though as that was part of the criteria

 

Will be good once done, although turrets are weird sure they should be the same colour as the car myne and few others I've seen were.

 

Nice motor now all ya need is a blonde mullet

 

My m3 engine bay is the same colour as the car but just base coat, no lacquer. It just looks Matt.
Would be very strange of BMW to paint the engine bay a different colour to the car. Would be a lot more work for them to mask it up...
Check inside the boot, pull carpets back...

 

Pretty much every BMW has just the base coat in the engine bay. For a silver car it's white.

Yeah will get proper lights back in there!

Well I have got a new job but working back in the city so this will be a weekend toy only

See below mate

 

Love that, I have turned into a massive fan of BMW's since owning my E61.

I have also noticed a few Facebook wars on my page between Ford fans and BMW fans, the rivalry is impressive and have seen people fall out over the subject

But, I would love one as a track toy now too.

 

I've only seen the poverty models non colour coded, all the M's I've seen are colour coded under the bonnet but not lacquered, had an M3 and M5 and they were both the same, also a friend has a silver/grey M3 and that is silver grey in the engine bay.

 

Awesome Dan! I'd love to see what they go like with more power. I bet it feels immense!

 

that's the way they all are. close to the colour but not lacquered. silver ones are a kinda white/silver/primer colour under the bonnet. the pictures make that one look more white. my steel grey is a non lacquered grey under the bonnet

 

Sweet Jesus it's like a gay blind man did the decor pmsl, explains why I didn't get a reply on fb lmfao
