2011 LeMans Blue E90 M3 Slicktop - Mod Journal

[herbreal]

I think I'm going to cave in and post my 10/2011 build date LMB E90 here.

Short story of how I acquired my M3:

I was set on sticking with my E30 and concentrate on building it further. But as I was loading up my F80 M3 to a trailer to its new owner, @baye30 (here) sent me this rare gem. I chatted it up with the dealer, they said there were a bunch of out of state buyers who were looking to buy but luckily they wanted to sell it locally and to me.

Too much talking. Whats been done:
- Lang Racing RB kit (ACL bearings + ARP stud bolts)
- Rod bearings
- Throttle Actuators
- Engine mounts
- Oil pan gasket
- Technocraft intake
- Eventuri Plenum (coming soon)
- KW V3 Coilovers
- CF paddle shifters
- BBS FI (RKP edition) 18x9.5 +18 265/35 18x10.5 +22 275/35
- OEM BMW ZCP Wheels 19x10 +25 square - 275/30
- POM GT4 V2 front lip
- POM CF side skirts
- Goldenwrench billet cap system + fuel cap

Absolutely love it. But hate you for finding RKP FI's!! What a dream wheel

[EnVe46]

Beautiful! I'll be starting a journal on mine soon when it arrives!

Nice pickup and I like the color though I may have a slight bias

There is nothing wrong with an expensive garage paperweight, essentially what mine is, but it's about to get a boost in use given we are temporary reducing from three cars down to two

Tragically, I'll just have to drive it

Congrats!

No rubbing at all 😀

Your car is stunning, I've made it my desktop background!

How much would you say the car is lowered by and do the 275 on ZCP front tyres rub at all in normal driving or when on full lock?

I'm actually lowered to the max (running camber plates on top of the KWV3's) no rubbing at all actually it's the perfect setup.
