floridaorange · 08-16-2023, 05:02 AM

Could you link to your other builds for those of us not familiar?

Inspiring work sir. Is that your son in the first couple photos? What does he think?

M3Diaz · 08-16-2023, 05:47 AM

Absolutely nailed it. Beautiful build.

The wheels (I'm envious since in Germany you don't get them approved) are perfection. But also the rest shows so much love for details! Thank you for sharing this!

Thank you so much, wheels definitely set this car apart and put together the rest of the build.

Amazing build!!!!

Thank you! You’re going to love the cage!

Don’t even think twice, Akra is and imo the best system money can buy. Fit/finish is uncompromising.

I’m in love with the Alpha N Hood.

Two questions:

1.) Have you thought about getting the hood paint matched with the rest of the car? Pros v cons?

2.) Are the open vents in the hood a concern without the mesh?

Thank you! When originally purchasing the hood my plan was to definitely paint match but after giving it some more thought I really thought the contrast would work out and I decided to just clear it and I’m happy I did. I love the outcome. The open vents aren’t much concern although I did purchase the added mesh (not installed yet)

So well put together! Amazing job!

Thanks bro that means a lot, you really think this came in close second to the E90? I’m still figuring out some bits and pieces to add but for the most part she’s done.

That no airbag racecar steering wheel works surprisingly well with that "office desktop" screen setup in the new BMWs.

I really like how the same size rims look, cant say enough the mis matched tyres and rims on this car look strange, and glad this build took care of this one big visual oddity on the M3.

static_void · 08-16-2023, 10:08 AM

Were any spacers needed to get that fitment for the wheels? Looks incredible.

Rob@StrasseWheels · 08-16-2023, 11:40 AM

Your builds never disappoint. Always a sick setup!

Logical · 08-16-2023, 11:55 AM

Nice ride but if you put in a cage the seats have to come out.

I appreciate this Powerbeast.

Again, magnificent build. You did good to say the least. This is truly a POWER beast, both in looks and performance.

sick, well done

John Tanglewood · 08-17-2023, 03:54 PM

I want to hate that steering wheel, because you bought a brand new car and eliminated one of the key safety features....

...but it looks so badass, I have nothing to say but awesome!

Those Duras are sweet too!

Steering wheel is one of my absolute favorite components of this build! Functional buttons to control most of the car’s functions are overated!!! LOL!

e92livin · 08-18-2023, 03:07 PM

Well done! Always admired your taste on putting an M3 together. Your E90 M3 was my all time favorite.

Agreed, BUT, the purpose of a detachable wheel is so it gets out of your way while you crawl in/out of your race seat over your fully caged interior. In your track car. This is a fail for me, especially when you consider he’s got the buttons set up to operate the cruise control, lol.

No different than putting a big wing on a FWD Civic that will never see the track - obvious disadvantages with no practical advantage beyond looks. If there’s actually a practical reason for this wheel I’m all ears.

Agreed though - to each their own! Overall this is a beautifully built car.

This is my race car, built for the streets of Studio City! LOL!

What a build man, you always deliver, incredible...

Incredibly pedantic question but how is the metal on the front of the Karbonius strut brace connected? Is it just glued on or is there a better structure there that's difficult to see?
