CSL_DNA · 07-09-2020, 12:28 PM

Background-
I've been reading up on this forum for years off-and-on, but now it's time to introduce myself and my new-ish ride. Some of you may recognize the user name from my other build a E46 M3 dubbed CSL DNA, Hence where i decided to go for GTS DNA on my new E92 M3. Since M3forum has disappeared I lost my previous build journal of the E46 M3 but have decided to document my journey here of my new M3.

Here are some recent pics I took of my E46 M3.

In 2019 I went on the hunt for the a E92 M3... After being sent photos of ebisu8 & slicer Alpine white E92's on the daily by friends I had decided to pull the trigger on a E92 M3 ZCP in Alpine White I found a E92 M3 for sale locally and immediately reached out to the seller and we were able to come to a deal quickly. The car was basically stock except for Swift race springs,Alpine tune and Cutouts installed on the factor muffler.

Immediately Recaro Sportster CS, Mperformance Wheel & Future Classic wheel spacers were added.

Karbonius Airbox
I knew I wanted to do a airbox on my E92 M3 like i did on my E46 M3, so I reached out to Karbonius and they were able to get me a airbox quickly. The fit and finish is perfect and their carbon is a work of art. The sounds these airbox's make is intoxicating on both my E46 M3 & E92 M3.

Enjoy

KW Clubsport 2-way
I think these speak for themselves.

Enjoy

At the same time of the KW Clubsport coilover install I picked up a set of BBS RIA in Gold from a forum member.

Unsure it was done by the previous owner along with clearbra.

mrm3too · 07-09-2020, 08:28 PM

Looks amazing, RIAs are perfect.

How do you like the tune?

Drifter2090 · 07-10-2020, 09:29 AM

How do you like the E92 compared to the E46? And what made you get DCT?

I love them both...I was open to DCT or 6-speed...I love the DCT so far. If my E46 was not 6-speed I would have wanted to go 6-speed on the E92.
