Looks good Mu - time to get those wheels back on the car. Hope it does not take too long.

Lol thanks for all the compliments guys! I know it still looks ghetto, but by Monday the detective on my case should give me a ETA on getting my wheels back.

glad to hear they caught the guy, Tommy.
any word on getting them back?
and, someone finally answered your plate:
but at least his car has major ***** and has the RDSport Stroker engine which enlarges the standard M3's V8 from 4.0L to 4.6L and pushes out over 527hp.

i opened the thread expecting to see Mu9enx with 4 similar wheels
anyway of course its "amg rofl" when it comes to track cars (and you have to respect the 4.6l engine its its putting out 527hp), and bmw rofl for daily use, drag use.... cars

as for daily use, do you not make any turns?

Man, on track not on track the M3 is one sick puppy. I did see the gap that Glyn mentioned and it is dissapointing but the M3 is still sick.
I rather take the CK63.
Carlsson CK63 – that stands for performance and full torque. The performance kit for the motor type M156 increases the serial performance of the 6.3 litre V8 from 457 hp at 6,800 r.p.m up to 565 hp. The car only needs 3.8 seconds to accelerate from 0-62 (0-100 km/h) instead of the serial 4.5 seconds. Once more, the Carlsson engineers are able to prove their expertise gained in motor sports.
Will take that over the BMW anyday (that's just me).

as for the CK63, I'm pretty sure that it'll be at least double the price of an M3 with the RDSport stroker and those mods.

Carlsson & Brabus modded mercs are ULTIMATE sedans/luxury sport cars... dont compare to bimmers...
at least the in the black series we still get an AC (vs. CSL/GTS/...)

ok! definitive word coming from someone who has probably never driven or owned a fast or serious sports car and never will, that really means a lot. keep magazine racing!

I'd be quite happy with a standard SL63 thanks - It goes adequately & remains refined. F--- the V12 - less balanced. M3 is fine especially the 4 door. But I don't fit in the damn thing. I also don't want to keep fixing the darn thing. They are extremely fragile. They endlessly dump that stupid electronic diff in the road. Our local Car magazine broke a propshaft & diff doing their standard 10 full bore starts - No thanks. At least with the AMGs - all they ever destroy are rear tyres. Not one performance BMW has got through the test period without breaking in the last 5 years. Not a good record!

hey, you too. good luck on racing with your C320!
last time I checked, if an RS46 was my dream car, then I've driven my "dream car" and it cost less than my actual car!
and HellsAngel, the reason why I'm going after you is b/c you're making idiotic definitive statements to show your MB pride. yes, you have an MB and both MB's and BMW's are great cars, but I'm 100% sure you know nothing about the cars aside from what you've read or seen online. you have NO room to be making such grand statements.
p.s. I'd take a Kleemann Stage III C63 over a CK63 any day

I think the gap there is due to the angle of the shot, but I wouldn't doubt that there are imperfections, I think the kit he's running was the first set (which was handmade).
as for the CK63, I'm pretty sure that it'll be at least double the price of an M3 with the RDSport stroker and those mods.

Woah, what the isht just happened, lol?
I seen that M3 on the BMW forums; thing is bad ***! Definitely wouldn't want to see that in real life
Well it's almost Dec, so until then I just gotta hang tight and hopefully nothing happens to my POS until then.
Update:
Well it seems that I might be getting my wheels back sooner than expected. Got a letter from them telling me to go setup an appointment to check the wheels out again, and then pick em' up. Sad thing is that their office is only open from 7:30am to 2:30pm, weekdays only. DAmn, school or wheels?
Got word that my C32 calipers are done, and all I gotta do now is wait for the caliper repair kit to come from MB so I can replace all the piston seals. After that, it's just waiting until I have the rims back for certain. And once that comes through, will have cross-drilled rotors all around with Akebonos and goodridge SS brakelines.
Oh, and finally did the finishing touches with dremeling my C32 airbox. Just gotta find a good day to meet up Frank and slap the damn thing on!

Oops, sorry I missed your post in all that clutter up there. Those are 19'' TE's. The offset and sizing wasn't the best, but it came as a great deal new. Damn S4 offsets! The grill I customed myself with my cousin. We just chopped off the vertical slat horizaontally, therefore trying to keep the original strength of the grille, and bondo'd.
