Default New car: E36 M3

I sold my ek about a year ago and since have been driving a 1994 325is. I liked the 325 so much that I decided to purchase it's big brother.

I am more than happy with the car. No real mods yet, just the e46 m3 replica wheels, euro ellipsoids, and an active autowerke intake. I didnt like the wheels at first, but they're really starting to grow on me. I have the stock wheels (doublespoke Is) in case I want to make a change.

Pics were taken by previous owner just before i purchased the car. I have not had a chance to take pics yet. I will post better pics later.

Looks awesome but I think it would look ten times better with the stock wheels back on.

no rubbing issues, but the tires are only 225 width. they look too skinny for the wheels. if i decide to keep the wheels, i'll go with at least a 235 width tire. hopefully they wont rub.

Sooooo beautiful. You wont regret it for sure. So when euro-spec 3.2 motor swap is going in? And some BBS's would make a world of difference. Keep it clean.

Very nice on the outside, but I'd go around the inside with as much leather care products that I could carry. The pics make it look like it's pretty worn...

Maybe the inability to raise or lower the steering wheel. No tilt wheel.
