As some of you know I ordered an M3 back in May. Figured I’d make an official thread seeing I have a few things planned presently and what ever I decide to do in the future. I’ve been wanting one of these for quite sometime (10+ years) and knew it was just matter of time before I got one. I can accredit my hard work and dedication to achieving one of my dream cars.

So much awesome! The aftermarket is already making some nice jam with these already, i believe it was 600whp already. EDIT: i was wrong its more like 540ish on a bone stock car running a tune with e30 mix. still awesome tho if your into that sort of thing [http://www.n54tech.com/forums/showpost.php?p=317864&postcount=274](http://www.n54tech.com/forums/showpost.php?p=317864&postcount=274) ---
