E46 M3 CSL build (NO 56K)

i tried posting this in the garage section
looks like im not good enough

thinking a few of you might be wondering what ive been up to
after i sold the s14.
started looking at m3's, fell in love with the CSL,
bought an 02' e46 m3 late last year. imola red, imola red leather, SMG, premium package, park distance control, harmon-kardon sound, bi-xenons, yada yada yada.

stock:




shortly after decided to rice my trims with some carbon wrap that turned out pretty good



then i wanted to go a little lower so i got some eibach pro kit high performance racing drop spring coils. i would like to be lower, but im trying to keep overall factory look, and im moving to downtown next year sooooo.
after:




threw on some csl wheels, 19x8.5/10 with some michelin pilot sport a/s plus. 285's on the rears, WAT
around this time i traded my stock wheels to 'k c' for his e46 m. traded for his used vorsteiner csl bumper which burnt along with the body shop when it was getting painted

csl's:




also did some stuff to my steering wheel to make it look brand new instead of all shiney and gross


rolled like that for a little while
got a csl rear diffuser, 1x1 carbon weave and did a test fit


fit pretty nice


i needed some new rotors
so i just bought a bbk. plus the stock brakes arent the most attractive around.
ap 6 pots. 355mm rotors







wanted a little more engine noise and wasnt quite ready to do an exhaust yet so i picked up a gruppe m rep carbon intake:




finally got another VCSL front bumper. 1x1 carbon splitters





thats all for now
dropping the car off for paint tomorrow, hoping for it to be finished friday or monday.

will post pics when its painted

how the FUCK is anyone supposed to have any self esteem around here?

"i needed some new rotors

Logically.

Looking good. Decided to ditch the NSX idea?

FUCK!!!

good build so far, any other engine mods planned?

thanks so far everyone
i decided not to get an nsx because they were overpriced and an m3 is more practical, but i still have a subaru for winter time.

only other mods planned for motor is just a rear muffler and a section 1 rasp pipe, maybe section 2 too.

not really doing much to the engine because i dont want to put up with stupid mechanical issues and the car is fast enough honestly

fucking shit is amazing, good stuff

thank you to A&L/IND in palatine for doing an excellent job.
i highly suggest them for your paint and install work

Why no debadge?

nice pictures.

i spy with my little eye,..........a sexy ass fc....

Isn't that Illia's car?

i like the ///m badge. i think it still looks clean with it.
thanks for compliments

i like it alot, but i heard CSL's are loud..like obnoxiously loud

how loud is your M3?

That's not really a bad thing, though.

I totally agree, car is cool. I think your S14 was cooler, but only time will tell.

Why move to downtown if you don't mind me asking, wont it make working on your car nearly impossible?

yooo what happened to the bumper i gave you? looks like you got a NEW vorsteiner bumper, baller.

haha you took my advice on goin to A&L, even though you live hellafar
