What I find common between the E36 M3 and F87 is that they don't take themselves too seriously, which I love.

I've owned the car for about 15 years. I don't remember exactly. It has 95k miles on the clock and has spent most of it's life garaged in VA. It's now running on Antique plates.
I've done all the reliability mods:
Replacement all aluminum cooling system
Chassis reinforcements
Electric Fan
Safety mods:
Euro-OEM ZKW glass projector lens headlights (the stock US ones are literally dangerous at night IMO)
Euro-BMW M3 2-Piece brake rotors (the US version was single piece steel, so these reduce unsprung weight)
EBC brake pads
Bilstein Coilovers (for modern performance+comfort)
Full Swaybars and X brace
And did a few performance mods:
TMS Stage 3:
aFE Cold Air Intake
3.5" HFM
24lb fuel injectors
Schrick Performance Cams
TMS chip
Dinan high flow throttle body
Short shifter with ZHP shift knob
BMW 3.38 Differential (from a 99 M3 Vert Auto)
S52 Headers
And a Borla SS catback exhaust which I LOVE, this is my favorite part of the whole car.
It looks stock on the inside and out but underneath it's been upgraded for more reliability, safety, feel, sound, and power!
