Hello everyone,
My names Anthony and I live in Seattle.
I recently wrapped up my e46 m3, I've had a build thread going for a while now. Here she is
I've been obsessed with the classic lines of all bmws from the " golden era " of design, the late 1990's / early 2000's. We all know what I'm getting at here. E46, e38, e39.
I digress. I was finally satisfied with my outrageously low static m3, and happy to daily an e90 335i. But then I had to scratch the itch.
A friend called me and explained that his in - laws were practically giving away a 2001 740i, and it just so Happened to be my favorite color combo for that car, Schwartz 2 on Napa black leather.
I went to go see it, the car has been in a storage h it for some time. It was dead as a doorknob but in terrific shape.
After a few hours of toying with it, we finally managed to jump the enormous battery and get the beast to turn over. It was smooth and, well, perfect. No chirps or noises, no knocks or smells, she had been maintained expertly over the years, and the interior was immaculate.
After about 5 minutes of driving the thing, I knew I was powerless to resist. I had a vision of towing my m3 with a bagged e38, and well, I drove this thing home not long after.
I washed it down, put some miles on it, and started diving into the work required to make it 100 percent. Starting with a bad regulator and some broken cup holders.
This week I'll be doing some maintenance while I get my air suspension plans sorted out.
