Jerez E92 M3 build/restoration

Cbozz · 01-19-2018, 09:10 PM

great progress! i'm curious what you paid for it since it was in such a bad shape

Dr. Dre · 01-19-2018, 09:38 PM

Are you MacGyver? Dude, You're a beast. If I had your skills I'd probably have hundreds of cars.

PINHEAD · 01-19-2018, 09:48 PM

Nice job. You make me miss my E92. I was so damn attached to it I had to let it go because I never drove it. I want it back now haha

It's a special car for sure. I'll take that GT3 off your hands.

This thread is what I call doing God's work sir. Great job saving the life of that poor innocent M. You're doing an amazing job giving her life again.

Youngh · 01-20-2018, 06:06 PM

What are your plans for the carbon fiber roof?

I’ll eventually have it re clearcoated, it’s not high on my list of priorities right now.

Mpower04 · 01-21-2018, 10:21 AM

Got the rest of my cooling parts in, put 12MM spacers on the rear and detailed the engine bay. I'll have outside pictures of the car next time it goes out.

What we've all been waiting for... It's not perfect but is now at least presentable. I didn't spend too much time on it. I can also now add valve cover gaskets to the never ending list.

Hopefully the anti sieze will help get them off when I want to. I'll have more pictures later.

Another solid update! Piece of advise on the spacer, put some on the face that sits on the wheel. Thats where mine got stuck and I broke a spacer removing it.

Dlpfcb · 01-21-2018, 10:54 AM

I wish I had your knowledge and skills to do this kind of work. Incredible build and props for bringing back a beautiful M.

Mpower04 · 01-21-2018, 01:05 PM

Thanks guys!

After replacing the oil cooler and oil I put in 8 liters of oil as to not overfill it like it was before then the oil level sensor did not read the level until a while after so when it finally did read it was "below minimum" so I immediately pulled over and added a quart then it still wanted a quart, when you replace your oil cooler, especially with a bigger one chances are you'll need more than 9 quarts! Thankfully nothing has happened that I've noticed thus far.

Exclusivs · 01-21-2018, 02:07 PM

Nice work!

Glad to see your back in an M. Guess it was nothing left to do on the E46? :P

Thanks! Yeah, nothing I wanted to pay for anyways lol

SunDevil_M3 · 01-22-2018, 10:08 PM

Wow, incredible job so far. Can't wait for the coils to go on. I myself have Jerez Black but in an E90M. I almost ordered the black Arc8's but Anthracite was on sale lol. Stoked to see the finish product. Keep up the good work.

dfwfiveoh · 01-23-2018, 05:25 PM

Warpig, do you plan to do anything else to the M3? You haven't posted in a couple of days and I was just curious.

Yes, I do. My rod bearings and camber plates came in the mail today. I'm gonna try and get at least at least the Ohlins put on sometime this week. Much more to come!

That's good because this is enormously entertaining to watch.

Incredible restoration! Can't wait to see more updates!

Mpower04 · 01-23-2018, 08:35 PM

Time for some updates. So, UPS found my rod bearing/bolts and they arrived today along with my Ground Control camber plates. Everything will go on when I have some spare time.
