Always a good excuse to upgrade when something is broken!

Ill take a hug from any car enthusiast right now! Makes me feel much better. Love my BMW community!

Yeah, hugs are good

Man, you’re awesome. Way to stay positive. I look forward to seeing updates and eventually the final product (is there ever really a stopping point though?? Lol)

And, those wheels are sick. Fantastic choice

Never go full retard!

Woow, another interesting story to follow - cheers Ruben!

schnell1982 · 01-04-2018, 09:49 PM

so you purchased a block and trans is this because your are having issues with your current set up ?
The shop that you go to must love you
lol
Love your posts dude, I always read your's on here and the M5 side

Nah current set up is fine. I just couldn't pass up a brand new DCT trans for $1200 and brand new S65 Long block for $2000

2000!? How?!! I would literally put one in my living room for safe keeping at that price!

Nothing yet. The car got hit so its in the body shop. Went with a euro front bumper so that took a little time to come in.

I also decided to have all door seals and window seals redone since mine were cracked and dry (previous owner). It's currently getting painted Nardo Grey.

Reason? I live less than 15 minutes from Bimmer Performance Center, they run a super clean shop, every single person that works there has a HUGE passion for BMW's, they can do any service that the dealership can do including warranty work, they also work on BMW track cars, race cars(including one of Randy Pobst's old E36 M3 race cars), machining, fabrication, dyno + full time tuner, and lets not forget a gatorade machine. They also fully built my M5 to 1050 rwhp and will be pushing 1300 rwhp without methanol soon so theres that too.

Those are definitely compelling reasons.

Just take a look at the windshield banner

Well sad to say this is the last post for the Harrop M3. My buddy bought it from me while it was in the body shop but i am happy to say that it's finally finished. Its still missing a few things but i will post pics once they are all on. For now here are some pics i snapped when we picked her up this morning!

Shout out to Auto Arts Inc in Raleigh Nc. They are hands down the BEST body shop period in the raleigh area!

If do a photoshoot with it i will post them here.

94jedi · 07-27-2018, 08:10 PM

Man...what a thread. Sad to see it come to an end. I'm a Raleigh local and take my car to BPC for everything. Those guys are legit and do a great job. Always been happy with their work. I'd love a Harrop but I don't think that's in the cards at the moment...ARH headers...very interesting. Might be giving Tom a call.

M4_Ronin · 08-02-2018, 12:53 PM

Got to see her again... this time with a pretty nasty Evo X.

BayE30 · 08-02-2018, 04:23 PM

looks fresh, do you miss it?

soooo what happened to the brand new s65 and DCT?
