m3dragon · 08-13-2015, 08:58 AM

Can't make it but I have 6 friends taking pics.

c0rehax · 08-15-2015, 10:40 PM

It was an amazing car, but the parking on the driving range was terrible!

m3dragon · 09-01-2015, 02:12 PM

Long over due update. I will add more images but chassis car has been de-motored and donor car FINALLY was acquired and is in route from Baltimore. More images to come.

Here is the chassis car as a rally edition E46 M3. Look at all that clearance.

m3dragon · 09-13-2015, 05:16 PM

Donor arrived Friday 9/11 from Maryland. Motor fired right up and has no major issues that we can tell. Car itself is a mess but lots of parts to sell off.

swagon · 09-18-2015, 07:30 AM

Can't wait for more updates. Good luck.

Sean@PSI · 09-18-2015, 12:51 PM

Promising build. Cannot wait!

PerfM5 · 09-18-2015, 08:26 PM

Basic notes.

Use a 2001-2002 to do the project as where DSC module is, is better
You will need a custom steering shaft
Use of a Z3 Steering rack
Custom mounts
Notch the lower brace
Different F CABS
Extra oil cooler to act as trans cooler

More to come as we work out issues as we make them HAHA

MattM3SVT · 01-29-2016, 01:56 PM

Awesome work Adam. I'll have to stop by and check this out sometime. Haven't seen your cars in ages.

Haha I commute to the bay area often now, so i'm gone this weekend. But possibly next week or so. I'll text you and we can plan something.

m3dragon · 01-29-2016, 02:02 PM

ok then

Flying Ace · 02-03-2016, 10:41 PM

What year is that E90? Are you willing to part some stuff out?

m3dragon · 02-04-2016, 09:14 AM

2008

Selling off all we can.

We mostly have interior left at this point. Shell was sold, rear bumper, and skirts.

So if you want some interior bits I might have them.

Car had I drive and heated seats.

m3dragon · 07-02-2016, 05:33 PM

Yes I know lack of updates. Always a time thing or lack there of right now to work. Had some of the shop gang together so we could work on the GTR. What is done in these images.

Engine Mount
Steering mounts
Transmission brace (All oe parts)
Rear sub frame and all new bushings
Diff installed with 4:10 gears

nrrm1127 · 08-18-2016, 09:18 AM
