1FastSicilian - 2013 ZCP build

[1FastSicilian]

Hi Everyone,

Finally got myself into an e92 m3 after parting ways with my beloved e46 m3.

To give you guys a brief background on myself, I've been in the e46 chassis for 12 years and I've had 6 e46s.. I've bought/sold them to flip, make money and also built for my own use. I work at BMW dealership and I've been thinking about building an e9x chassis for a few years now. The proper offer came to sell my e46, I felt the e9x chassis was the only move for me in my current situation.

Here's a picture of the e46 before I sold it & my build journal

I already jumped into some mods/maintenance.

First, ACM did the rodbearings, engine mounts, new ground wire, Inner/outter tie rods.






Then, I replaced the OEM air filter with the BMC!





Also, waiting on my BBS e88s from @slicer 18x10 & 18x11! They were built for the e46 but modified once I purchased the e92.




I'll continue to update this as time goes on. I look forward to learning about the e92 as I did with the e46!

Welcome to the V8 side! I remember you from M3Forum.
Nice spec/pickup and already off to a great start with it!

Welcome over to the e9x M3 chassis. I followed your builds for years. Looking forward to this one.

[Kingjames31]

Welcome. I believe you had the Interlagos blue e46 as well correct? Looking forward to a clean build.

Thanks Neil! I would've loved to have your 90.. just didn't work unfortunately :/

Congratulations @1FastSicilian I think the E92 M3 and a Gen 2 Raptor make a great combo! At least one of them has a V8. But I’m not biased…

[Blindside_137]

Looking good!!

Thanks man! I got the Gen 2 to tow the e46 to and from the track but little did I know, these raptors can't tow shit without doing some heavy suspension mods..

the other problem is I question which one to mod all the time lol

Do I buy wheels for the raptor or parts for the m3

[MisterClutch888]

Nice Frank, i remember seeing ur car with the white TE from Spencer's video. I did IG u about the ISC coils too lol.

Nice change, can't wait to see the car with the E88 on.

I say do both! Loved your E46 but I think you’ll be happy with the E92! I may end of pulling the trigger on some FOX 3.0 Live Valve coil overs for the Raptor but otherwise I’m done.

Thanks!

I grabbed some eibach level springs for the front, im waiting to find some used deavers or icons for the rear then probably just do wheels/tires.. I hate the stock wheels lol

Someone on here will buy the wheels, someone who wouldn't pay the extra for a ZCP car and then pay more for the wheels then they saved not getting not getting ZCP.

little update..

UPS dropped off a few present yesterday

Scored a brand new Metak diffuser on FB marketplace and my BBS E88s just showed up!



Little back story with these, I ordered them back in April/May for my e46.. While waiting, the car sold.. slicer and I spoke, he recommended going with an 11inch rear wheel and 2 months later, here we are

18x10 & 18x11 #slicerspec E88s!





Tires should arrive Thursday. Ordered from Duane @ RcompoundUSA.. 265/35 & 295/30 Yoko A052!

[Ubersmooth]

Lovely E88's. Looked through your E46 build and that thing is clean! Must've been hard to say goodbye. A nice clean E92 surely makes it a little easier though 😂
