Fleamarket M3 Build!

[malcon]

Here's my project! Its not as much a project as it is something I'm having evolving as I own it. I dont know where its going to end up but I'm enjoying the ride so far!
Starting a family means cutting back on spending... So I have to be very smart on how I mod things. The reason I say "fleamarket M3" is because %90 of all the mods done to this car have been aquired through the marketplace on message boards, ebay, and friends that know more than I do! I think its also important for people to know how far you can take one of these without dropping thousands and thousands of dollars! Building the car has been alot of fun. I'm still searching for the cars unique Identity. I'm getting closer!! Its our restrictions that force us to think creativly and thats sort of the mission statment of the car I guess... anyway here are a few pictures! I'll continue to update as we go...
Thanks! I'm humbled by the cars in this community!















(i'm just starting work on a nitrous setup.. i'm getting all the parts together slowly but surly.. I'm not going huge with it but it should work well with the boost and cool things down a bit)



just setup the purge line last night... still need to make adjustments to the plumbing... I went a little overboard but thats ok... its like playing with legos.


hope you like!

this is gnarly haha. i understand the fleamarketing scheme though, being 17 and having a job that pays sub minimum wages suckkkkks. so ebay is where i source good used parts or craigslist and the forums

...own an e92 M3... cant afford to not cheap out on parts?

i dont understand. Nitrous is cool tho

[Dome]

Amazing, if it runs like it looks you got one fast M3
What about painting the spokes of your BBS LMs in that cool colour?

Sweeeet! Congrats

I understand buying second hand fully when it comes to all of the parts you added=) Car is coming together well. The only thing I'm not a huge fan of is the mirror caps

Thanks gang! I do want to clarify, I'm not cheaping out on parts but waiting until I find a deal or somebody is parting out their car. I do alot of research into the own of said part also so that I'm not going into mods blind. Thats why you wont find a 1600 front spliter on my car... I'm focusing for the most part on my power plant first, and then spreading the love to exterior mods. Unless I find a killer deal! haha Thanks for the feedback!
