Hi, I'm going to start a small, build-thread on a 2009 E90 M3 I picked up yesterday from fellow-board-member, FrenchBoy.
I sold my Dakar yellow ZCP E92 late last year, and got into a MINI GP and an E36 S50 M3. Sold the Mini after a few months, and picked up my current DD, the F10 M5. The M5 is a great car but it's too heavy for me, so after thoughts of S2000's and BRZ's were done running through my mind. I eventually came to the conclusion that I needed another E9X M3, but an E90 and 6MT this time around.
I ended up purchasing this particular E90 from FrenchBoy because it was perfectly stock in the engine bay, and it came with a nice set of upgrades; Akrapovic Evolution, Stoptech Trophies, JRZ RS1, and Cantrell brake ducts.
The plan for the build is to go as light as possible without my garage looking like the M3 vomited it's entire interior in it. I'm going to start the car off with a refresh to start with a solid base.
Updates w/ pics on the build will happen once I get the car back up to Seattle.
