E36 M3
 

Just wanted to update the few that were following the 240sx build thread ( https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/910...ut-my-other-s/ ) that the car has been sold. A 1995 BMW M3 has taken its place and will be used as a DD and a track car. The intent of this car will be to be a fun track car while still offering the comfort to be taken out on the street and this thread will serve as small build/picture thread.

I will make a full post about the car and its history later on in the day, but here are some pictures of the new car:

Came back from a 2 week work trip to have the future owner of the 240sx pick it up the same night. I didn't get to drive it much at all and this is one of the last shots I took before I handed everything over:

I spent the whole weekend searching for the next car even though I had already found this M3, the lady didn't want to let it go for the price I wanted to pay for it. I planned on trekking to California to pick one up but luckily, my persistent ways landed me the keys to this:

I have been daily driving this since Tuesday (S2000 is in the shop due to a minor hit and run) and even though the 240sx had great power and was fun to drive, the M3's refinement more than makes up for it. I will be doing a track day (night) this weekend which happens to fall on my birthday and I am excited to see how the M3 performs.

One more picture never hurt..

:hello:

once i had s2000 and 1999 m3 as a daily too. love that engine. e36 m3 is a truly a fantastic car. i would love to have another one.

Dakar with ds1s and the ltw wing huh?keep an eye on that temp gauge

It's not Dakar anymore. The yellow is a lot louder and lot more.. well a lot more yellow :shrug:

I will do just that. I plan on changing the water pump tomorrow and doing electric fans with an aluminum radiator in the future.

That is a beautiful car man love the color :thumbup:

yeah the electric fans help a lot.

Looks fantastic, much more car than the 240 imo.

That wing looks different from the replica LTW wings I'm used to seeing. I feel it's a bit over the top for a stock looking M3. The car looks pretty clean, why was it repainted?

awesome car, it drives like a slightly bigger s2000. I remember the first time i rode in one it made me grin ear to ear :thumbup:

Yea it is a little different because it doesn't have the risers yet it still sits relatively high. The car was repainted because the original color (Dakar I) was starting to fade.
