Really like the build. I didn't read every reply so if this question was already answered my fault, what made you decide not to go back to another M3?

Also, that S2000 was clean, any plans of possibly picking another one up and making it a DD or track car?

Thanks for the tip man, I really love BBS wheels on our cars. I actually wanted to go with the 219m wheels (18" gunmetal wheels that come on the M3)

financially I can't afford it right now. Im actually moving to FL from NJ in less than 2 weeks. I knew this when looking for a car so I went with something for affordable. I hope to have another M3 one day. I'd like Melbourne Red with Fox Red interior <3

As much as I want another M3, I also miss the S2000. In a perfect world I'd have both cars

So after searching for a while I found someone selling brushed aluminum trim! Problem is I only have the door and dash pieces, and I still need the center console pieces. I will probably not install everything until I can source all the pieces.

Who wants my grey poplar trim?! haha

I will probably just install the pieces I have, and wrap the center console trim in gloss black if I cannot find the other pieces

I like the gloss black roof. I wouldn't have thought gloss black would look good on Space Grey, but seeing it in person, it does. Adds a very simple but nice contrast. Nice work. Btw, where in NJ are you (your Sig says Tampa Bay, but you have NJ plates)

Yeah I actually just moved to Tampa not even a week ago man. I'm really happy with the way the roof/mirrors look against space grey.

I moved from south jersey near Atlantic City.

I really like how you did on the tail lights, it is a gorgeous idea!

Did you only cover the white part or cover the whole surface and cut out the reverse light part?

I like it as well, they look great all red! I only covered the clear turn signal area.

You know what they say, right? Great minds think alike!

So I did some DIY maintenance yesterday! I replaced the spark plugs and also installed Akebono brake pads and new pad sensors. I was fed up with the dusty OEM pads

Time for some work!



Old plugs out! How do they look?



New plugs! OEM is best! NGK ftw!



New plugs in!

So I moved to Florida a couple weeks ago, totally forgot to share this picture! I taped everything to protect from rock chips and bugs. It took a long time but totally worth it!

This picture really shows how much you love your car! nothing worst than driving down the road and hearing a rock hit your car... your setup looks nice, it makes me wish i had the red interior in my car
