AW E46 M3 - Latest Pics

sheps · 02-09-2010, 05:03 AM

Steve, did I miss interior pics/pics of the wheel from Transcal?

Hoops · 02-09-2010, 11:55 AM

Yep, sorry Marlie, i cant keep up , but yes the GT-R has sadly gone. Sheps - got the steering wheel back from Transcal yesterday - Baris very kindly fitted it for me last night - overall im very impressed with the workmanship - quality of the alcantara is perfect and the tri-colour stitching is very good. I asked them to pad it out and make it as fat and chunky as possible and again theyve delivered on that score too - so im pretty chuffed with it. Will post pics of the wheel as soon as i get chance.

Actually to be honest I'm not missing the CSL much. I don't think I had the right experience with it, getting it in the winter and selling it during the heavy snowfall.

At the moment I'm renting a merc E class when I need a car, drives like a piece of the proverbial but get a good deal on it as I'm pretty much helping Avis through the recession lol

Looks great Stevie.. I may have missed it in your details but what colour is it??

PurpleMonkey · 02-18-2010, 03:22 AM

Fk Thats a nice car

Hoops · 07-06-2010, 03:44 PM

Car is pretty much finished now. Latest editions have been the CSL Vorsteiner rear boot lid, CSL front bumper and AP Racing 6 pot BBK. Ive enjoyed every moment of owning this very special and unique car. Looking into selling her now but she will be very sadly missed. Next!

flyfs6 · 07-06-2010, 05:08 PM

The car looks superb, much different to the last time I saw it.

Hey, I'll give you some Rubles for it if you fancy driving it to Russia :-P

SoYank · 07-06-2010, 07:06 PM

So, when are you getting your new car, Steve?

Five months with the same car...must be a record of some sort.

sheps · 07-07-2010, 03:13 AM

What's next on the list Steve?

Hoops · 07-07-2010, 04:10 AM

Not entirely sure - think i want to go sensible for a little while - would also like something relatively economical for a bloody change!

Alpina_B3_Lux · 07-07-2010, 04:12 AM

I don't really dig those Vorsteiner pieces, I must admit. Otherwise the car looks great!
