Jerez E92 M3 build/restoration

swagon · 01-28-2018, 03:23 PM

Great work! Definitely gonna follow this one.

OzCoE92 · 01-30-2018, 01:23 PM

Congrats to you!!! The previous owner should have never been allowed to drive that car, so I'm happy that you were able to rescue it and bring it back to it's current state. I'm tuning in to see the rest of the progress.

Mpower04 · 02-01-2018, 06:40 PM

Got some more parts in.

Hopefully, I'll be able to get these on tomorrow. Next mod will likely be exhaust, if any one is selling Eisenmann Race exhaust let me know!

Bo offense bad was expecting the bearings to look even worse on this baby. Way to go Warpig!

ChadB · 02-14-2018, 02:37 PM

very nice. way to bring her back from the dead..

Mpower04 · 03-03-2018, 12:26 PM

Been a while since an update but progress has been made. I got the PFC V3 rotors with Z rated pads on and also flushed with ATE Typ 200 fluid. A nice improvement over stock. I also got my painted OEM Euro bumper from IND along with refreshed headlights, competition style rear spoiler in 1x1 CF and black kidney grilles. Finally starting to look nice!

Next will be some maintenance, I believe my thermostat is going out so I'm going to replace the thermostat, lower radiator hose (already replaced upper), temp sensors and upgrade to a GT4 water pump. Probably also do valve cover gaskets, coils, plugs and maybe paint the valve covers something OEM+ at the same time.

Next round of mods will likely be OEM LCI tail lights, some type of front lip/splitter in 1x1 (nothing wild), Bimmerworld catless X-pipe and BPM stage 2 tune.

Enjoy some pictures, what a difference!

Looks great! The euro bumper just deletes the washer nozzles and reflectors, correct?

Thanks, I never had the washers but it does delete the reflectors.

slicer · 03-03-2018, 01:30 PM

Looks great - I love me a euro bumper!

Helmsman · 03-04-2018, 11:50 AM

Thanks for the uodate Warpig, missed them! Your car is coming together beatifully!

slowm3 · 03-04-2018, 12:56 PM

This build has come a long way! well done

ItsGary · 03-04-2018, 02:51 PM

All you need now is the LCI tail lights ;P

silverstonem3 · 03-04-2018, 09:12 PM

Great job on putting all that work in and saving this car!

sterile stork · 03-05-2018, 05:33 PM

This is such a charming thread, and one I certainly wouldn't expect to have seen for even still a couple years; however considering the E92 M is now 10-years old it may become more of a "regular" occurrence, and that makes for great journeys (not to mention more of these awesome restoration threads!)

Keep up the awesome work! A few months into this process and it already looks like an entirely different vehicle.

EnVe46 · 03-05-2018, 06:51 PM

Crushing the forum as per usual!

Thank you all for all the kind comments! It's been a journey for sure. At this point I'd like to focus more on track time so the mods will be on hold as COTA is expensive! Maintenance will flow as usual.

amazing resto Warpig12354 !!! Definitely following this. All I can think about the previous owner is, "what an asshole" lol. Nicely done!
