What is your ideal build?
-
As of this morning, it is basically my 318is but with:
Supercharged M54
6-speed
Clean body/paint, restored engine bay/underbody
Half cage and 5-point harnesses, cage paint matched AW2 for extra stants points
Mtech 1 spoiler
M3 Evo 3 cloth M-tech interior with the matching recaro SRD's (rear seat delete with the half cage, even in my dream car I would never want to pay for the m3 rear seat...)
Re-barrel the front Weds Bavaria's to a 16x8 et35 so that they fit properly

That's tempting... budget is keeping me with a 5-speed for now

I changed my mind, either would work but trumpets are rad

It’s been posted for $1500 for a while now
Offer $1200 and sell me a spare 5spd zf lol -
extra highway MPGs will pay for the ~$1500 cost of the 6sp swap.
rough guess says it will take you 60,000miles....worth it!

I'll have to use my touring for this because my M3 is already sorted the way I want.
Ideal build for the touring would be
- respray in Imola with shadowline window trim
- S54 swap / RWD conversion with a nice set of apex wheels
- all the E46 aesthetic bits that I haven't done and probably never will - headlight conversion, black kidneys, mtech II bumper shroud, etc.
I'd still use it as my daily at that point.
2011 E92 M3 6MT ZCP - ESS 625 supercharged
2007 Z4MR
2003 E39 M5
2002 E46 M3
2021 X5 40i -
For the M3 i'd have to say I'd want to keep it streetable but sporty and ready for track days:
- KW V3 coilovers
- ESS 625
- BMW Performance Seats
- IND splatter paint interior trim
- DCT GTS trans tune
- GT4 front lip
- Some kind of rear diffuser
- Macht Schnell test pipes and X pipe
- Better brake cooling
