Hi Everyone,
Finally got myself into an e92 m3 after parting ways with my beloved e46 m3.
To give you guys a brief background on myself, I've been in the e46 chassis for 12 years and I've had 6 e46s.. I've bought/sold them to flip, make money and also built for my own use. I work at BMW dealership and I've been thinking about building an e9x chassis for a few years now. The proper offer came to sell my e46, I felt the e9x chassis was the only move for me in my current situation.
Here's a picture of the e46 before I sold it & my build journal

I already jumped into some mods/maintenance.
First, ACM did the rodbearings, engine mounts, new ground wire, Inner/outter tie rods.
Then, I replaced the OEM air filter with the BMC!
Also, waiting on my BBS e88s from @slicer 18x10 & 18x11! They were built for the e46 but modified once I purchased the e92.
I'll continue to update this as time goes on. I look forward to learning about the e92 as I did with the e46!
