HiRide... whoahhh.. thats awesome! and that E30 is to die for!

[HiRide]

Thanks guys.

yeah that E30 M3 is sooo clean and sounds awsome. they guy who owns it is named Brett, really cool guy and that thing is fast too. He almost, kind of, somewhat held on against me. he has 4.10 gears in there so it scoots pretty quick. My buddy was driving my car and walked the E30 M pretty good. not quite running away but pretty close.

Still thats a badass E30 M3.

Danny, I love your E36 M3. I cant believe I havent seen you around, oh Smynings, I havent been in that area in a few years. I am in Duluth, and havent been past 75 on 285 in a while.

[BobbyFresco]

This is my car......

[GDuty5_Chic]

Jet black E46, only mods are angel eyes, tint and clears so far

[GirlieZ]

man i love the m3 with that underspoiler!

[BobbyFresco]

B33m3r chic, you're on bimmerforums also aren't you?...I'm DarkBimmer....

[OMG Its Platz]

heres mine, just got about 2 weeks ...plan on swaping ither the m50 back in it and supercharging it or going with the s50 and leaving it stock..donno yet but if anybody has tips and shit for me let me know.....we all need to get a bimmer cruse going on one of these sats.......

[Z32redondo]

Im guessing this is the bimmer you told me about ^^^^

[VooDooXII]

Hey I know Brett...definitely a cool guy, and I LOVE his car.

[1000cckiller]

Why hasnt that kunta Boris posted his ****.

[HiRide]

I have no idea, his car is sick!!!

Oh update:

The engine management system is installed along with most of the gauges!

We hit the dyno and did a custom tune...

321 RWHP 263 RWTQ , N/A on 93 Octane Pump Gas

Now that this stage has been completed, we are beginning a turbo project that Boris is actually a part of.

We are both looking to put down around 500RWHP on 93 Octane Pump Gas. Hopefully 550RWHP with meth injection and 600 with meth and race fuel. those are pretty reasonable numbers i think, but who knows what will happen.

Chuck Norris could afford it bc he out numbers Lance Armstrong by 5.

[sprix!]

That 8 series is pure sex. I would just about kill for that car.

[speedminded]

I finally got one now! black on black leather 328i [4 door] 5-speed in immaculant condition other than being stuffed in the rear ...so everything from the doors forward are for sale except the M52 engine, manual transmission, and 2.93 rear end

Glad to hear you finally got you one!!

Pictures now!!!
(4 doors rock the house)

[HiRide]

Finally Got Rims.. hey Jason wanna take some pics..?

[Deke]

^Your car is the absolute sex.

And as a whole this thread rocks my socks. I think an M3 definitely has a place in my future.

[HiRide]

Thanks Man!! Yeah you need to get an M3... and now they are being turbo'd...

Turns out the stock S54 block in the E46 M3 can actually handle almost 1000BHP with just a lowered compression from a head gasket. This motor is now up there with Supras, Skylines, and Muscle cars.

I am currently working on a home-made turbo project. unheard of in the M3 world and I am looking to put down around 700+RWHP peak with stock internals lowered CR and meth + race fuel. but It will probably run at around 600 RWHP max for the street. built motors are making 1000RWHP.

Its just expensive... but you get all that power and a full BMW luxury car as well.

Damn man, definitely keep us updated.

Yeah I'm not saying a BMW is in my near future by any means. As of now, I'm more than content with my wrx. I'm thinking down the road, when I've got a nice full time job and some serious spending money

[theKalimist]
