[bosstjm3]

Hi All,

Over this past holidays , I was lucky enough to add one of my dream spec E92s to my collection after searching for one that is a driver and not collector car.

2013 Le mans Blue manual Comp with ESS 625 SC . I have a couple things i need to do still since previous owner daily drove and I am starting this thread to document the process

Fantastic garage! And congrats for the new car!

Got my 359M refinished at Detroit wheel and tire and added Bimmerworld 15/12 spacers with their stud kid. Fitment looks good for stock comp suspension

Hi All,

This car was sent to Seems Legit Garage in Shelby township to get some preventative & necessary maintenance done before this car season here in the midwest. I recommend them highly for great customer service and quality of work. I also got some motorsport gold vs-5rs w dsw06+ all season to enjoy car more days of the year in Michigan

Items include
Valve cover & valve cover gasket
Oil filter housing gasket
All fluids changed with redline
SC oil service
spark plugs
VRSF test pipes
MR12volt ( apple carplay)
New blow off valve ( Maxflo)
EAE Metal Under tray ( highly recommend to protect car)

Previous owner did maintenance and modifications below
ESS VT2 625
Rod bearings and motor mounts
Throttle Actuators
Do88 Oil cooler and Radiator
SS brake lines w ds2500 pads
Eismann Race Exhaust

Next things i have planned for the revival
Front Bumper Respray with new front splitters ( higher mileage car)
Full paint correction and detail
New steering wheel ( same as current just redo)
Suspension and BBK (2025)

Hi All,

I got a new wheel for the car from Coby wheel as well as got a euro bumper and got the hood resprayed as well so now it looks wonderful. I will be getting a 2 step paint correction done to it next week and then it is ready to go for this car show and roadtrip season.

Beautiful build! I ended up doing my BBK before the Apex wheels. Just be aware that stoptech brakes are backordered. I’m still waiting for my rears to come in and I ordered in October.

How does the BOV sound compared to the raceport that came with the kit?

Very nice, can’t wait to watch the progress on this one.

The blow off valve is quite aggressive. I could not live with it day to day but given it is primarily a roadtrip and car show vehicle it is loads of fun. Sounds like a fighter jet on wide open throttle and shifts. Deceleration noises are also quite ridiculous. Everyone can now tell it is boosted

[mym3adventures]

Great read and looking forward to future updates! You mention this is a higher mileage vehicle - mind sharing the odometer?

[bosstjm3]

Just crossed 142k last week

Hi All,

As mentioned the car is getting paint corrected and detailed this week before the car season starts here in michigan. It looks pretty darn good for 140k miles and will share better pics after the professional photo shoot I have scheduled.

Looks like they did a really nice job on your 359 wheels. I've heard the OEM hyper silver is very difficult to match. Do you know what they used? I'm curious if your wheels were powdercoated or painted.
