Those Volks look awesome on that thing. Got a soft spot for BMW. Been scratching my itch with MINIs cause they're cheap and an f'n blast to drive the last few years but an M3 or Z4 will have my name on it sooner than later.

Thanks guys! I'm damn broke now so I've been trying to think of all the ways one can prepare Bologna and Ramen Noodles. LOL

i do get a kick out of the weighted shift knob shenanigans.

What part of those tires are "skinny"? The specs are pretty standard. If anything, that 40 in the front is a little "fat". I know you race and know your stuff. Curious what you're thinking.

Nevermind skinny tires can build more heat, in a good way...

To be honest I don't really care for that shift knob. IMO it's too short to be on a short throw shifter. I've got an E36 m3 as well and I found that the shorter the shifter was the more notchy the feel. I'll probably go back with a oem knob. I think the plain black leather would look better in this interior anyway.

Beautiful machine! I enjoy my bone stock 04 with SMG at the track when I can afford it. You have lots of well appointed goodies must perform well!

Thanks! Yeah so far so good on the performance but I haven't really got on it too hard yet. Just a couple 40-120mph sprints but from those I can tell you it pulls damn hard. The previous owner had great service records but I want to go through the car for my own piece of mind. Then I'll open her up for real.

beautiful car! What 'e' chassis are they up to now, I'm too lazy to gargle it. I stopped playing with them when the e36 became the 'old' chassis.
