Progress: Jet Black Coupe Build
It has been a almost a decade since I had the opportunity to start building a car. But with my luck, I get to mark my return with one of my all time favorites. N/A, V8, 6 Speed Manual, all considered archaic relics in today's performance sport cars. I happened to be able to source this vehicle from a friend of mine that converted to the digital realm of the F82 M4 so I was ecstatic to build the E92 M3 coupe of my dreams. But I couldn't have done this alone. I enlisted help from my local shops in building my dream car that was capable of daily driver duties while being personally competitive for my track duties 1 weekend a month.
Although the vehicle is only a weekend toy, the above mentioned check lists were very strict in that the M3 had to be the "super model that can cook & clean & tutor calculus" I sourced all the parts and install through European Auto Source. They installed the bulk of the bolt on performance parts. After that, I enlisted Trinity Autosport to do my weekend track preparations to ensure I can drive there in 1 piece, track with reliability and still have the ability to drive my vehicle home. All bodywork/ exterior maintenance is handled by Signature Autobody and Dr Mobile Detailing. Still far from completion, I have Brembo Big Brake Kit, Macht Schnell Stage 2 and E85 Flex Fuel Tunes on the way for 2018! 2009 BMW M3 Jet Black 6 M/T Build List: Akrapovic Evolution Exhaust Ultimate Clutch Pedal Jailbreak Tune c/o Trinity Autosport Spec (Midrange Street Tune) KW V3 Coilovers RD Sport Sway Bars Macht Schnell Solid Rear Subframe Bushing AKG Poly Bushings Titan 7 T-S5 18x9.5 / 18x10.5 w/ Nitto Tires Titan 7 T-R10 18x9.5 / 18x10.5 w/ Nitto Tires Euro Spec Front Bumper Ceramic Pro Coating OEM LCI Taillights Different Shoes! |

Beautiful. My base car twin! I think I like the gun metal colored Titan's to give some contrast (I'm thinking of doing the same).

Update: 1/27/18
We are spoiled with Southern California winters so my friends and I decided to impulse attend a Speed Ventures event this past weekend at Buttonwillow Race Track. I wish I had more time to setup my car for track duties but we just rolled out and I just took the vehicle in my complete street daily driver mode. Still getting a feel for the car but overall, the car felt very tight and predictable. I can't wait to go back in a few weeks with my 18x10 +25 Titan 7 T-S5 non staggered format on 275/35/18 Yokohama AD08R here are some quick iPhone X photos!

"Super model that can cook & clean & tutor calculus" looks like you checked all the boxes and then some
What's been your favorite mod so far? Curious to get your track time impressions on that tire setup!

Jet Black seems to be a rare setup on this generation ///M for some reason... but she's super high maintenance but when she is clean... nothing can beat it!
