Adding a new car to my stable

1994 BMW M3 Euro-spec

This car was available in Canada in 1994 (limited run of 45 numbered units) though this particular car is a JDM import. Regardless it's still a lot of car for 12.5k USD! http://www.tyeeimports.com/jdm-cars-...le=1994-BMW-M3

More E36 M3 info found here:

This was my dream car in high school and instead of springing for a supercharger kit I'm going to pick this up

It's going in for inspection this week so provided it checks out okay it'll be sitting beside my benz by the weekend.
Wish me luck

Awesome! Nice decision not slapping that blower on your E500. As you know, I almost did that too. But, W211 E55s can be had for a slice a pizza now, so it doesn't make sense not to go that route.

Never liked the wheels on that M.Y. M3, but you're gonna have tons of fun tossing her around.

Yeah i checked out the Turner Motorsports site and couldn't believe how cheap parts are for this car. Cost of parts are almost VW'esque which brings me back a few years! Plan is for subtle upgrades, PSS9's, staggered deep dish rims (Keskin), LTW rear wing, blacked out grills, chassis x-brace, pullies and maybe a shrick cam and ecu...................... did i say subtle?

Damn you just have fine taste in cars through and through, don't you?

Dude I've wrestled with the charger decision for a while. I had a 30 minute conversation with khelawanb (Brent) a few weeks ago about his experience with the install, support and end product. He highly recommended the conversion but I was still undecided. It's insane how you can buy an 11 second E55 for mid 20's now! I'm glad i'm over it. My wife's going to be using the E most the time...
