new to BF, just picked up my M3!

[gldntkt]

My name's Patrick..i picked up my dakar II 97 M3 coupe a week ago and I'm lovin it! My dad has an E30 M3 and he's always gone on about how much of a car all M3s are and I'm glad I finally picked one up. I come from VWs and I'm lookin forward to posting here and hopefully helping out as much as possible. Here's some quick pics i took the other night. Hope y'all like it .

Nothing wrong with being a "chip off the ol' block"...

[POPS RACER]

Nice ride! It's cool that your Pops drove an M3, mine drove an '82 Skylark.

Yeah i know.. Guess you couldn't hanld the presure of being a badass so you decided to be cool instead. We understant

[gldntkt]

thanks guys . y'all are right it is great having a dad that's in to this stuff too. He brought me up right and here I am 20 y.o. with my first (and definitely wont be the last) M3.

as far as mods go i think i'm gonna keep it pretty cool with this car...I have about $13k in receipts for my old VW GTI and dont wanna get caught up in that again until I'm out of college at least. Over the summer I'd like to hit up umnitza for ZKWs with DDE and HIDs, clear corners, sides, and the euro tails (red/clear). I'm leaving all the HK stuff in, just disconnecting the "mid-tweeter" and replacing the top tweeter with audiobahn tweeters, then adding my sub and that's it for audio.

factory spoiler probably coming soon, then in the long run i think i'd like the rieger front splitter, the hartge adjustable rear spoiler or the motorsport one w/o the risers, and suspension and wheels...possibly BBS RKs or CHs.

I'd also like to get a chip for the car but there's so many out there so I gotta start my research and try to decide which is best for me. Any opinions are welcome .

So how do my plans sound? heh...i've only had it for a week and a half...i think i've been thinking about mods too much already!

Anayway...what's a Mozart exhaust? Never heard of it.

[Jwright]

Awesome car! Looks like its in great shape.

[MWhip]

Nice pix bro.....good camera work.....and even nicer looking ///M....I love the clean look.

BTW: and us pimps drive estoril's :

[widebody_bimmer]

nice ride ....I love the dakar II, is the dakar II a darker yellow than that of the dakar I which I have seen on 95's ? anyway that car is super clean nice find

[vinnymac]

Welcome. Great car!

BTW, what kind of camera did you use to take those pics?

[gldntkt]

*whew* lots of questions..hope i get 'em all.

BimmerDawg: to tell you the truth i hadn't heard of the company before buying this car either. i'm still waiting on a few records & receipts from the PO (the ones from the exhaust and from AA) so I don't know much about it, but some google searches have given me a bit of info. basically gathered that not many people have it and it pops up associated with konig a lot. i dunno...it sounds like a friggin sports car should so i'm happy for now .

mwhip: thanks about the pics

widebody: not sure of the exact differences..but from what I've seen i think dakar II is actually a bit less bold than the original. anyone feel free to correct me if I'm off.

vinnymac: crap-ass nikon coolpix 775...old camera as far as digitals go. not even 2 megapixels (from from it to be truthful). i've been shooting cars for a long time now, and am venturing into this whole night photography thing. these were hasty and i'm not too fond of them but if you'd like i have a lot of great night shots of VWs and my old VW GTI...poster type work. it's fun but i'm extremely limited by my camera's abilities now . it's too expensive and time consuming to shoot with a film SLR so I'm holding out for that winning lotto ticket so I can pick up a digi rebel or somethin like that. droppin a cool G on a camera and another 500 on lenses doesn't come easy!
