Alpine White Dreams

ebisu8 · 06-08-2019, 10:04 AM

Hi y'all,

I've been around for a bit, post here and there but never made a journal or thread for my M3. I picked up this 2012 M3 Competition with about 17k miles and it has just over 31k now. So I decided after 4 years of ownership and building, here it is. For me, I wanted to take the time to put together a build that I was going to be proud of and that I would keep indefinitely.

Here are some recent pics I took (not a pro by any means) and my mod list. There's definitely more that I can buy/add to the list but I'm enjoying it for now. I'm thankful for this forum for access to great information, it's members and sponsors. Thanks to Cat@IND, Slicer, MRF, EAS and BPMSport for helping me throughout the way and a BIG thanks to the forum member FS threads and group buys!

Feel free to check out more pics @ebisu8_M on IG.
