Super cool. Almost makes me want to get one, but in wine red or white. How difficult, costly, is it to get one to stance like that?

That depends on how comfortable you want your ride quality to be, and which wheels will overall suit you...


You know the deal... you wrote the rule! :lol: Pick 2???



Seriously. I thought about the "pick 2" rule, when I started. The wheels were really a gift. Held off a little while to acquire the tires. Waited again, and got a set of RL coilovers as I was on lowering springs. The stagger of the wheels and the ability to adjust the suspension was a start. I also widened the rear body work using all the factory BMW sheetmetal to accept the 245's. Those 3 steps helped me to get to what it looks like today.



If you want to change the front cover and get yourself some rare mirrors. Mine weigh a .5 pounds each, and were meant for a right hand drive E36. You can kinda tell in the full on shot in the second shoot. You could do, but not really necessary. Many mods were kept away from, due to being common upgrades. Clears corners/tails etc...


Other than that,


Maintenance it...
Keep it clean and simple.



With the exception of some minor mods and a respray, its pretty much simple.

Lol pick two.

I think the cleanliness is what i like best. Its almost as if BMW had released an "M3+" model.

Thanks, altho it's not quite an M3.... It's a 328i and I still like it as much as the insurance killing M3's, but got it and built it to what it looks like today for a lot less.
