[E90Mario]

Well, a year of ownership with my E90 M3 has just passed and I finally feel content enough with the build to share. We've had quite the journey, so apologies in advance for the novel.

I wasn't in the market for an E90 M3, but when a buddy of mine let me know he was selling his mint, low mile slicktop; I couldn't resist. I picked up the car on November 21st 2016 and quickly went to work. Within my first week of ownership she was supercharged, wrapped and on coilovers; from there things began to progress. My goal was to build a head turning show car with complete track ready Road Course functionality.

On July 27th, 2017 I found out my E90 was going to SEMA. I had never displayed at SEMA let alone attended. This was very special for me, since it has been a dream to have one of my cars showcased at the world's biggest automotive convention. I knew it was time to step it up again.

Believe it or not, green is actually not my favorite color, neither is yellow; But I wanted something unique while also keeping it true to BMW and I was a fan of Java Green. I found that the BMW Individual NA program produced 11 Java Green Metallic E92 M3s but never an E90, so that’s what I went with, full respray, all the way down to pulling the motor. I also had the interior refreshed with new seats, steering wheel and custom upholstery. And LOTS of Carbon goodies in and on the car.

It’s been a crazy year, but I’m happy with the outcome and I am confident that I will have my E90 M3 for as long as I am able to.

In addition to all my amazing friends/sponsors, I would like to give a special thank you to my team at LTMW who have put in countless hours to meet tight deadlights and transform the Java Monster to what it is.
