ProperStyle's E90 M3 build,

Properstyle · 01-13-2015, 12:20 AM

New to the E9x world, but not to the m world. After having my E46 m3 coupe SMG for around 2 years and 40k miles it was a bit time to move on to something a bit more refined.

I loved my E46 but after now being married and always having family in town putting people in the back seat of coupe when the wife has the sedan is just not pleasant. After doing 2k worth of bushing replacement on my E46 last week I said it's time to move on. I posted E46 up forsale and withn in 3 days she was sold or rather paid for. Now that I was free of an additional car note. I was able to look for a e90m. I wanted dct and navi and was not willing to settle of anything else, which proved to be difficult to find in a non salvaged or high milage condition. Saturday night I finally found one in TN and bought my ticket to go pick it up. The next after noon before i could pack my bag, the wife found a 09 dct navi JB sedan in town that had just posted. I cancelled my ticket that night after speaking with the sales rep that that happened to be at the dealer. Well this morning I walked in to the dealer and with in 45 mins later was the proud owner of a 49k 09 dct navi jb E90M sedan.

After buying the car i took it straight to Meister Motoring of south florida to have the car looked over and to have the OEM exhaust mod with res delete.

The New m3 next to my no sold E46 M3.

Car could used a good compound a polish so I will order in supplies to start this weekend.

Congrats and welcome.

Congrats and welcome! I'm familiar with your e46 from the Aggressive Wheel thread over on e46f, loved the AC Schnitzer Type 2's on your e46.

Yeah, I still have the wheels, they will be on the e90 after I get them refinished. I am looking in to another set of coilovers right now. I've been in touch with broadwaystatic.

Very nice, can't wait to see them on the e90! I had been looking at a set over on SW for my e92 but decided to wait until after winter.

Yeah we will see I may just do a sleeve kit for now so I can rock my wheels.

As stated I did get the OEM exhaust mod done, I had all 4 pipes in the muffler refitted with solid pipes, and also removed the resonators.

Conzyo · 01-13-2015, 08:39 PM

Congrats and have fun modding

E46M3forRay · 01-13-2015, 09:49 PM

Exhaust was the first thing mind.. Nice!

STooK · 01-14-2015, 12:14 AM

Congrats and love the exhaust mod! Sounds really mean. Can't wait to see what you have in store for the car.

Amirsm3 · 01-14-2015, 12:22 AM

Your E46 was dope! Sad to see it go. Welcome to the e9x side!

Alen E90 · 01-16-2015, 01:40 AM

Congrats on the new whip, she looks gorgeous and btw your E46 looked sick! Can't wait to see what you have planned for the E90!!

Sebringjetta · 01-16-2015, 10:31 AM

do the AC'S clear bbk?

Properstyle · 01-16-2015, 10:38 AM

Depends on the BBK, but I know the set I have are original 19s so the faces clean oem e90m3 calipers with ease after my test fit last night.

Properstyle · 02-02-2015, 06:54 AM

So I got the dyno'd to see what it makes as a baseline before I start with power mods. Not sure if this is higher or lower than average but the car made 343whp and 250WTQ, car continued to climb in power after each run but we stopped at 343.

After I had my ACM Test pipes installed, and holly hell the car is load, I may acutally have my resantors put back in to tone it down a bit. I would say the car is boarding on the line of more bark then bit.

Shout out to ACM for the great test pipes and quick shipping. I received them 3 days after ordering them.

rawdenim · 02-02-2015, 10:46 AM

If you don't mind me asking, how much did the exhaust mod cost? Sounds great.

Properstyle · 02-02-2015, 11:11 AM

For the muffler mod to my understanding, the average is 450 it's all dependant on who you go to. I paid a bit less but thats with my buddies shop doing the work for me.
