My stripper e90 m3 "build"

Platinum Child · 06-20-2015, 12:29 PM

Recently bought this 2011.5 e90 m3 with 19k miles as a CPO car.

It has absolutely no options.

Alpine White on speedcloth

Manual seats

Slicktop

First thing I had done was a paint correction. Since the car had no dings, dents or scratches whatsoever, the car looks like new now.

I ordered the colormatched side markers, installed them, and they stuck out like a sore thumb. So I picked up a shaved oem bumper, and its awaiting paint.

Also, installed the Lux h8 160 angel eye bulbs. They are super bright, and love how easy they were to install.

The basic trim wasn't going to cut it. I also hate the carbon leather, and the wood is horrible. Was going to get a set of brushed trim, but then I found the glacier silver trim. So I ordered the complete set brand new from BMW. Also installed the BMW Performance knob.

Comparison:

Future Plans:

Ohlins R/T coilovers
Vorshlag Camber plates or maybe custom made ones
Armytrix Valved Exhaust
ACM Test Pipes
Wheels - Already have 3 sets

To be continued

Forgot to mention, weighed the car with a full tank

A very fine example of a slicktop stripper! Nice car!

Bomiz · 06-20-2015, 01:17 PM

very nice!! Can't wait to see how it turns out.

Bimmer22 · 06-22-2015, 12:57 AM

Nice car. How much did you pay?

Route 16 · 06-22-2015, 01:30 AM

I hope more people start to sell their E90 '11 strippers soon

JEllis · 06-22-2015, 07:31 AM

Perfect car

cenix · 06-22-2015, 09:30 AM

Your car is stock right now? Those are almost perfect weights from the factory! Impressive.

BMWDEMON · 06-22-2015, 10:29 AM

Nice! What wheels do you have in "stock"?

B8bydesign · 06-22-2015, 11:31 AM

Welcome man. If this thing is like any of your other builds, it'll look great. What set of wheels are you planning on mounting first?

ilikebmxbikes · 06-22-2015, 11:33 AM

perfectly optioned car

vincE92M3 · 06-22-2015, 11:39 AM

Yay for stripper! I have one too

How much did the paint correction cost?

Flying Ace · 06-22-2015, 02:04 PM

W/// · 06-22-2015, 11:32 PM

This car is a keeper right there. Awesome, and very rare too

nice find! #teamslicktop

dmw16 · 06-24-2015, 09:44 AM

Looks great, except I'd have kept the ZCP style shift knob...never cared for the BMW performance one.

IND-Distribution · 06-24-2015, 10:28 AM

A carbon roof would be a great touch

You had me at cloth seats and 18s.

Exclusivs · 06-26-2015, 10:06 AM

Clean!

tdott · 06-26-2015, 11:03 AM

Way to make an honest girl out of her!

Matt@AUTOcouture · 06-26-2015, 12:10 PM

Nice dude! So glad you were finally able to snag one up! Good luck with her.
