'95 BMW M3 - shaeff's summer daily driver

[shaeff]

I'll be drilling my lenses within the next few days. Checkit:

Here's a video from a guy on BF.c- this dude drilled his:

I'm hoping that mine turn out just as well. I'm using the exact same hole saw that he got off ebay. It's 70mm, and from an eBay store called precision.tools

Oh that is clean. I like.

 

[shaeff]

Hell yeah, super clean! I got my hole saw in the mail today, too!

 

[Alec]

lol, this was funny. I almost bought one of these, Shaeff convinced me to get the MK3 instead. I hope I made the right decision, lol

 

[Justin727]

You did!

You did!

Justin's got it. Seriously, the M3 is a real bitch unless you want to spend craploads of money on it. It's not a good first performance car at all! Not nearly as durable as the MKIII, either, and the MKIII is a much better quality car, everywhere!

yeah well anything BMW your going to need a deep pocket, they are reliable but once one this breaks its expensive to replace, unlike the supra , trust us we work on both lol. :evil2:

M3 might be a bitch to work on but at least it can get bitches

hahahah +1!! :biglaugh:

 

[shaeff]

Seriously, one of my girlfriend's friends nearly creamed herself when she saw me roll up in the M3. LOL. It was hilarious!

 

[spipedong]

Needs more finished projector swap.

 

[shaeff]

LOL, I'm getting there, albeit, slowly. I should have some more progress shots next week. I'm going camping tomorrow night to Sunday morning, so not much will get done on anything in that time.

I gotta spend about 20-30 min tweaking both projectors to get them as close as possible in output and cutoff, then comes mounting.

 

[shaeff]

No update on the lights yet, been busy. However, I did pick up a used (6k miles) Stromung exhaust. Here are some soundclips from other people's M3's:

Oh, and I got a ZHP weighted shift knob, too.

Nice vid's sir! Love it!!

Well the pearl white IS i was looking at the guy was dead set on the selling price although it was bone stock, wreck on the carfax and asking 1000 more then clean retail..

Anyhow I'm driving out of state this saturday to look at an Intensa blue pearl IS300. hopefully I'll drive it home!

 

[shaeff]

Those aren't my car, but thanks! That exhaust sounds incredible, very classy, not too loud, barks at WOT though! I can't wait for it to get here!

Sucks to hear about the white IS, I hope you bring the Intensa home! :fingers crossed:

[shaeff]

Exactly. Perfect for my daily driver! Grab a clip! I'd like to hear it!

 

[arizzle]

[shaeff]

Not bad! I like it! It sounds a tiny bit raspy up top, but still very good!

thanks, yeah the raspy sound your hearing is a slight exhaust leak, the cars so low i need to remove the resonater with the hole in it.:nono:, ill get a clip in again once i remove the resonator and drop the car off this weekend for custom ecu tuning
