New to the forum

Hi guys

Signed up a week or so, not much traffic in this section?

On Saturday I picked up an e92 M3, I also have an E46 M3 which I was considering keeping but after driving the E92 properly this weekend it's definitely going asap!

So it's an early 2008 in Interlagos Blue with Bamboo leather, I think the previous owner is a member here.

First thing to do was change the wheels and give it a wash



The car is already fitted with KW clubsport coilovers and a few other bits which is a good start (2 Pipe mod sounds perfect).

I've already ordered:
LCI Rear lights
CiC and Combox retrofit in a couple of weeks.
Uprated gearings for the throttle actuators
Weathertech Floor Liners
Lux Amber Angel Eyes
Full LED interior conversion, with LED indicators and headlights from Perfekt Lighting.
Painted plenum.

Imminent plans are to have a full comprehensive service next week. CAE shifter, GTS style rear cage, harnesses and recaros. Although after a decent drive yesterday I am slightly less inclined to rip the interior apart as it is a very competent car in standard form. An Akra evo is definitely in my plans over the next 6 months.

I haven't taken many pics yet sorry.

Interested in the gearings for the TAs as I've had one bank failure on my car. Got details?

Got them done by Ian (Alpina527) on M3Cutters on Saturday. My TA's were quite worn, as evidenced by all the plastic powder inside the casing. The new gearings are brass and delrin. Very happy i've done it.
