New to Me || M3 || ZCP

SupremePower1 · 01-07-2017, 01:45 AM

After 5 years, I'm finally back in an ///M. A Little history:

First BMW was a 2000 328i. I found a forum and the mod bug began:

Mods: Hamann PG2 || DPE R05 Variant S || Eibach Pro Kit || M Tech Kit || Alpine Audio System w/ Custom Trunk (Diamond Audio Sub) || Eye Lids (yes Eye Lids) || AA Exhaust || Cold Air Intake || 35% Tint || M Spoiler || M Splitters

Next up: My Beloved E46 M3. The BEST M3 IMO to be made.

Mods: Tein SS Coilovers || BBS LM || Rennen M7 Monoblocks || Vorsteiner Front Bumper (CF) || Vorsteiner Rear Diffuser

After my subframe sawed itself in half I felt betrayed by the BMW engineers. So then I did this:

2007 Mercedes E63 AMG

Mods: Star Lowering || Incurve IC-S10 Wheels

Power, comfort and solid. Problem is 9 mpg is stop and go traffic is just upsetting. 507 hp and I can't use 10 of them. Sold the car and got into a lease takeover.

2013 335i (M Sport)

Mods: SuperSports Coilovers || BBS LM || AG 359 || APEX EC-7

So after starting a new business I went to a boring old SUV (Ford Explorer) and after I was tired of paying $500 in fuel costs I picked up a wonderful Kia Optima Hybrid (35mpg!)

TODAY:

Finally after two years of hard work I've decided to reward myself. I present my new (to me) 2016 BMW M3 that I picked up from a local member.

2016 BMW M3 Competition Package

Mods: IND Cosmetics (Grille/Painted Reflectors) || Spacers || Lowering Springs || Intake Scoops || Key Hole Delete

One photo for now as the others I took are treacherous. Happy to be apart of a new community and back in the saddle of an M car and fulfill my mod bug!

Looks great, congrats!!

PhilH · 01-07-2017, 07:53 AM

I remember when those Hamann wheels were everywhere on the E46 forums. Always thought they were cool. They look so old school now. Nice progression, congrats on the F80.

-JLT- · 01-07-2017, 07:59 AM

congrats buddy! definitely need more pics

catch · 01-07-2017, 11:10 AM

nice lineup. I love those E46 M3s as well!

The new car looks great and will surely get better mileage then you old AMG

Congrats

Congrats buddy!

SupremePower1 · 01-07-2017, 04:14 PM

Thanks All! Happy to be part of the crew. Biggest difference after driving a hybrid for 6 months straight is watching the gas needle move. I think I'm a bit heavy footed so far. This car is FAST and capable.

Anyone local heading to Super Car Sunday tomorrow?

AIRPOWER · 01-07-2017, 04:19 PM

Thanks for that. I likely would have never moved on from that car. It was pretty perfect. I will get back into another one day. Until then I'm going to enjoy this car.

Mods getting ordered soon!

SupremePower1 · 01-09-2017, 12:40 AM

Before getting the car, I was afraid I was going to hate the Xenons. After driving the car today, I don't think i'll ever think about this again.

f80er · 01-09-2017, 08:27 AM

Why would you hate xenons? You prefer halogen?

LED lighting is the one package this car doesn't have that was a hindrance. Personally love the look but not worth crying about once you drive the car. So much fun!

Yep same situation with me. I coded out the ambers and turned the angels to full power

Congrats!

All of your cars looks familiar to me. Were you on E46fanatics?

I always loved those Hamann PG2 and wanted it for my E46.

Yup I was on E46fanatics and M3forum.net

Not active on either anymore but do hang in the classifieds every now and again.
