so i recently sold the tdi and needed to pick up a daily that would entertain me yet be refined enough to not annoy me. i was suppsed to be picking up an 01 330i but after quite the adventure it turned out the car was a pile of shit and the dealer was a fucking piece of shit scammer (possibly from EA but relocated to north carolina later in life…lol) well i was soured on the idea of an e46 after that so i decided to look into something a bit older… i found this gem. > 95 alpine white m3 > 127k miles > Factory options are sunroof,heated manual Vader seats & 18 button OBC. BMW remote keyless-entry security system also installed. I have all receipts of work/parts installed during my ownership. Below is list of items. Everything works on car. > Performance items > -Bimmerworld M5 clutch kit with JB ltw flywheel, also replaced all OEM shifter parts/seals ($950 in parts) > -AA track-pipe > -Autothority chip > -K&N > -12mm spacers up front & 5mm in rear > -DSII wheels staggered > -DR. Vanos Stage 1 > Recent maint/appearance parts > -OEM green glass windshield/moulding > -OEM Euro tail-lights & sidemarkers > -Euro Bosch H1 headlights > -OEM front undertray plastic > -Reiger front splitter( has few repaired cracks in it) > -Cowl cover > -Driveshaft center bearing > -Front wheel bearings > -Rear upper shock mounts > -NGK sparkplugs > -V/C gasket > -All Accy belts, pulleys & tensioners > -Nitto Invo rear tires in 245/40/17 > -Cabin Filter > -Coolant flush > -Rear diff fluid replaced > -Brake fluid change to Castrol GT-LMA > -Recent oil change using Castrol TWS > -Clutch pedal & bushings > -OEM M3 floor mats > -OEM battery > -Lower timing chain tensioner > so i decided to take a trip to check it out yesterday and turns out the car was exactly how it was described by the seller. no suprises this time. so we struck a deal and i had a fun ride home in my first bmw. the car is great. needs nothing. i just hate the clear tails/sidemarkers/corners so ill be picking up some smoked ones but other than that i dont intend to fuck this car up at all with other fggt bullshit. im going to try REAL HARD to just drive it and not put wheels/coils/etc… etc… on it. here are some pics ![http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g7/WRCWRX/BMW/4910457098_e14e002d19_z.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/d/7/d7a583c5ae4ef894ab8d9684e18cd7fc68f9dbe2.jpeg) ![http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g7/WRCWRX/BMW/4910452970_bcec087792_z.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/2/9/29d851401f054525fccab7b677ff1ba2102df4a2.jpeg) ![http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g7/WRCWRX/BMW/4910447148_69e64515f1_z.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/2/7/27ce638aef048ad06a6122e148a09ad56524c6eb.jpeg) ![http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g7/WRCWRX/BMW/4910473328_80fd9b34a1_z.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/d/f/df92009c08e61e0c655042e0301839f2f6d45a1f.jpeg) ![http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g7/WRCWRX/BMW/4910476880_496df3ab8b_z.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/c/c/ccf25b385330c21774c78895bfd3f28b75ffe124.jpeg) ![http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g7/WRCWRX/BMW/4909884959_ac1232350d_z.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/6/6/66c14854d46472c25646844e10c261da3bd1326b.jpeg) ![http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g7/WRCWRX/BMW/4910489710_42a0538dc8_z.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/3/6/36e810bf1e9c31e43c837844d3765ece40482ba0.jpeg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v201/XwalkerX1/46df8910.jpg?t=1283113820](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/9/2/92aef496ae0e9f7db6416c65f92353ca2ab2375a.jpeg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v201/XwalkerX1/phone%20uploads/0225d0ef.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/a/e/ae84b8408094db3e4ce4d69c7ca1dd02af01c241.jpeg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v201/XwalkerX1/phone%20uploads/81863345.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/7/f/7f5188feb861d11f1979811dcd2bb31bf3562c37.jpeg) ---

You should put wider wheels on the front of this car-makes about as much sense as the faggots who put wider wheels on the back of a fwd car. ---

Nice addition Walker. I have always liked the e36 M3. I would ditch the front splitter and add the oem rear spoiler and call it a day. ---
