Completely D.I.Y. Modded E92 M3 **photo Shoot**

[Alex@AUTOcouture]

thats awesome man, congrats

[THE TECH]

Looks good.

[ROB_S2K]

Great story man. It is sometimes intimidating to work on a car by yourself but you got through it. Can't wait for the next round of mods.

[skins333]

This is how it's done! Although I done a bunch of easy cosmetic mods myself, I would have never tried to tackle anything more substantial myself...until now. You definitely give me some hope! Might need your wife's help though of course...

[F82_SID]

Props man for doing everything yourself! I am/was the same way. The first time I popped open the ECU on my brand new 335 to install a tune I was scared shitless of messing it up. But then that went away and I became a pro at it.. Someday I hope to do a SC install on my car myself.

[BLACK OPS]

Car looks great! Congrats on a job very well done.

[Orjan]

WOW - that is one seriously good looking car!

[nbennettksu]

Dude no pics of the wife?

I mean the car looks great and all, but this thread could be better

[GOLFFRR]

simply stunning braddah simply stunning.

[John Tanglewood]

Car looks awesome man!

Did you purposely not match the trunk to the color of the car? I noticed it was a shade darker.

VERY stunning!!

[Sam@ModeCarbon]

Props!! Car looks perfect

[Bluesummer]

congrats to the OP. you and your wife are true car enthusiast

[ortho281]

Nice pics! Love your mods! That's awsome that you wife helps with the mods! Does she get to drive it as well?

[WingZeroX5]

awesome pics! my wife would barely pick up a wrench. If she does, it's only to ask what's it for

[j2m]

I have added some DIY links to OP

You are right, it is extremely gratifying and knowing if I need to do something that I don't need to make an appointment and wait on someone else

LOL Thanks

That's exactly correct! very enabling

Awesome, ride

Thanks!

Technically, everything on this car is a "bolt-on" "bolt-off' affair, but it's not that easy. You need the right tools and patience to do the work. You also need to be at least a little handy and confident.


I chuckled when you paid the dealer $120 to change something cosmetic. Personally, I don't have the tools to do a BBK, but I always do my own interior and cosmetic mods.

Thanks! DIY FTMFW!!!

Respect for doing all those mods yourself with no experience! Takes courage!

Much Appreciated!

Happy I have a woman like that to call my own!

Couldn't say it better myself!

Can I ask how you tackled the KW S/O kit and Chamber Plates? Did you have a lift or something? PM me if you would like to

Again, great looking car, and great job on all the installs!

SG FTW!

PM'd and added some good DIY links as well
Thank You!

If you can do the Meth you can do anything!

VERY stunning!!

I had the trunk painted when I had my space grey 335, in person it is slightly off, barely noticeable but in DSLR pic it's pretty noticeable I didn't want to have the paint faded in because I wasn't planning on keeping it on forever. A trunk switch-up will be part f the next round of MOD's

Sweet build man. Does your wife have a sister?

[kdbryce]

DIY for the win

[elim11]

Lucky to have a wife like that! Awesome car and great job with the DIYs. Gotta appreciate someone who can turn the wrench.

[roastbeef]

you have built almost the exact m3 i have been dreaming about fo years. the only thing i would have done different is the front splitter, but thats just a personal preference and it still looks absolutely fantastic.
good job, sir.

Thank you, I appreciate it! Front spoilers and I have a love-hate relationship. I always end up effing them up somehow so I figured I'd do something that give me a little more clearance.
