    Well I did it: 99 Turbo M coupe

    So i've been buying E36 M3's all the time and hadn't really found a coupe that was in my budget or met my requirements. Well, not sure what pushed me into this one but it loads on the truck tomorrow. I am absolutely stoked to get this in my hands.

    I'm sure you guys have seen it on the buyersguide.

    Here are details:

    Active Autowerks custom turbo setup
    Garett GT30 turbo currently at 12psi boost
    Custom front mount intercooler setup
    CCW Classics in 18 inch made special for Z3M
    New Toyo R888s they are the BRAND new style
    Rear subframe reinforcement
    Upgraded adjustable rear tow/camber kit
    Added bike rack tow hitch welded under bumper
    $3000 top of the line stereo with subwoofer
    New ZHP weighted shift knob
    Rare S54 round mirror with chrome trim
    New H@R adjustable coil over setup
    Super rare HAMANN side skirts painted
    Newer rear differential from S54
    Frank Smith tuned with new software for traction control fight through

    540HP-540TQ

    Seller had the CCW's on it but it just wouldn't fit my budget with them on there. I have some extra plans coming like cut ring gasket and copper spacer and of course retrofitted headlights.

    If anyone is interested in the GT3's, they will be for sale. I'll have more pictures once I get back from Europe.

    Nice. Has the s52 engine internals been modified? Power levels are at the crank? Neat car

    Very cool, and welcome to the dark side of the E36 chassis...

    Curious to hear some feedback on the car once you get some miles on her. I'm toying with the idea of selling my M coupe so I can turbo an M roadster...

    Thanks man. I would be doing that the other way around. I toyed with getting a roadster but the coupe just stole my heart.

    Nice ride. The R888s are a must.

    Thanks, I'll keep an eye out for them. I'll probably look to sell the GT3's after I get them up and clean them. They have some peeling clear on the lips I need to take care of.

    I'm out in El Paso. As far west Texas you can go.
