My old tuner and person who built my Subaru motor brought up a valid point when it comes to gauges. (keep in mind he sold plenty of pillar/dash mounted gauge set-ups to other "enthusiasts") he said "I don't run gauges in my personal car, it clutters up the interior and by the time you notice something is wrong, it's usually too late. If you want to keep an eye on your engine, do periodic data-logging. It's more accurate and safer too."

Yes and no. Some gauges have warnings you can set and also allow logging. The only issue I have with pure logging with no gauges is that it usually involves screwing with a laptop in the passenger seat while trying to drive. But in general I would only recommend a few gauges; anything more can be such a huge distraction.

Way to fuck up a good looking steering wheel....

Darth One · 01-17-2013, 08:34 PM

i really didn't need to see this car again

SouthShoreM3 · 01-17-2013, 09:21 PM

All,

I have seen this car in person and it is quite over done. Nothing fits properly and the window in the good is meant for a zr1 or if you have a mid engine super car. The car lost its identity of an m3.

The owner I think has since sold the car which didn't even have 2400 miles on the vehicle. Friend of mine at the dealer informed it was in for consignment.

Sometimes money just can't buy taste or class.

WOW. Tough crowd up in here tonight! Like Rodney Dangerfield... cant get no respect!

kwike92 · 01-25-2013, 08:10 PM

love the car, but the wheel needs to go, along with half the guages.

What's with the horn symbol stitching on the wheel? Did you need a reminder?

It's a tough night here on M3Post

Sorry man but modding just isn't for everyone. What's that sticking out of your bumper under your diffuser?

I saw it on EBay a while back and the asking price was close to 90k.. My friend at the dealership said someone came in and bought the car as is..

Seen up close and there were more gaps and parts that did not fit than you could imagine..take off about 50% of that stuff, or get it to fit right and spend the money..had the money to buy it all get it to fit right.

I believe the owner had issues with the kit as well...I think it was a bit of user and install error.
