BMWBoss · 05-08-2011, 08:46 PM

I saw this car at the NY Auto Show...looks even more beautiful in person!

Quasimodem · 05-08-2011, 09:27 PM

INSANE!

RR80 · 05-08-2011, 09:55 PM

Good job~~! That's one bad ass M3!

mshab356 · 05-08-2011, 10:35 PM

Not bad not bad!

lux.sh · 05-09-2011, 04:44 AM

I honestly expected something REAL crazy out of this project, but I'm disappointed..

It is definitely a SWEET ride, I love everything from the color to the wheels + clean styling, but its just that we've seen much more crazi"er" things in e90post.

satish_141 · 05-09-2011, 06:09 AM

green is awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

05-09-2011, 08:29 AM

Thanks so much for all the positive comments guys!!
Many thanks to the admins who made our build a feature, we're honored!

Our goal was to build an extreme car that somehow still looked and felt as if it should have rolled out of the BMW factory that way. In a sense, the way the M3 GTS should have been, at least in our opinion.

Literally every portion of the green machine was touched in some way, shape, or form. Every part was given careful consideration- from the 100% hand made all steel widebody, the complete tear down for color change, the various Vorsteiner additions, the wheel, tire, suspension and brake system combination and (of course), the ACTIVE AUTOWERKE serious jump in HP.

Do you know what's the best part???
The green machine is only half of the build!!!

Franz · 05-09-2011, 08:41 AM

Great work. Not a big fan of the color though.

G2G · 05-09-2011, 08:54 AM

I waaant the lci (led) turn light signals!!

Car looks great, but I'm confused on the purpose of 2 M3's. Why did you need 2?

Got a chance to see the green machine being put together at MAC ; These guys do not play; They are truly the best in the business; Their display at the car show in my opinion stole the show!

PlannBee · 05-09-2011, 11:21 PM

i think the all steel wide body and the headlights are the best part!

great work on the headlights igor hopefully I'll be doing mine with you when i get my car

Poleposition · 05-10-2011, 08:53 AM

Ive had the pleasure of seeing this car mid-build and then again just this morning. I must say, it's truly a masterpiece. You really cant judge the car from pictures on the internet. Until youve had the pleasure of seeing it in person, feeling it, touching it, and just taking it all in, there's really nothing to discuss. The car has a presence unlike any other M3 you've ever seen or felt for that matter. Its very easy to pass judgement just by looking at the color or anything else you think you dont like but see the car in person and you cant help but stare at every inch and absorb it all. It's really an example of awesome craftsmanship and it's obvious, a great deal of thought went into the entire build. The rear of this M3 is just bananas. Suffice it to say, shops capable of this level of work are scarce and I find it very exciting everytime I go there.

Joe @ Martino Auto Concepts · 05-10-2011, 09:12 AM

Sorry for the long post, at the end of a build... This is what makes all those long nights worth it!
