No all you need mate is to drop the m5 engine in.

Haha I'd love to mate. Keeping an eye on that build thread :wink:

 

[Craig]

Haha I would love you to mate :wink:. If I had an m3 and deep pockets that would be a great project.

 

[Scutch]

Had my CSL bootlid painted and fitted, as well as tidying up a few other areas. Also had my alloys blasted and painted, and coated with Gtechniq C5. Very happy with the car a the moment. Maybe a rear brake kit to match the fronts next.

 

[Brookie.]

Jesus that's perfect now. One of my favourite cars on here.

 

[Stefan.]

Is that a csl....

 

[Rob]

f**k about Neil, that looks amazing. So fresh.

 

[Scutch]

F*cking should have been the money I've spent on it! 😢

 

[Coby.]

And it just gets better.

 

[Scrooge]

Amazing!

 

[The Russian.]

I don't like m3's that much.

This however is lovely.

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

That side profile pic is amazing. Great looking car mate!

 

[Ian_182]

Looks bloody lovely.
I just hope I have the money lying around when he decides to sell it to me.

 

[Cookie]

I think you should take the bootlid off and then spend 6 months wondering whether to put it back on again

 

[Ph1 Tom]

Definitely get some rear brakes to match the fronts. Otherwise it looks perfect.

 

[Whitetac]

Beauuutiful mate. The wheels make such a massive difference.

Love this shot

[leeds_182]

Great motor!

 

[ForceIndia]

Lovely.

 

[Ian_182]

Bloody nice car.

 

[philmots]

That's really nice. Only thing I'd change are the spacers.

 

[brisa4984]

looks nice..

time for a change?

 

[Stefan.]

So fat when head on!!

 

[aucky]

Stunner.

 

[Ashh]

Proper naughty :hearteyes:

 

[Marc.]

Hands down one of the nicest M3's I've seen!

 

[Russ_16v]

Mate that is lovely!

Is it Oak? Birchwood? I don't know trees

 

[Munson]

So fat when head on!!

Probably due to the 300mm spacers and completely ruined steering geo. I jest. Sort of.

Lovely car but it's too bad man for me.

Soon.

10mm spacers and steering geo is better than OEM, according to Greta Bodyworks Hunter system.

 

[aaronc]

Lovely car.
Wanna sell it?

 

[Munson]

Wow. You'd think they were bigger than 10mm. In that case then fair play I suppose. I was more thinking about steering centre point than wheel geometry, but it's a minor thing at 10mm, and at least it isn't FWD so isn't going to affect torque steer or anything.

I still think it looks bad man slammed etc. but that's just my opinion, and I don't have to drive it. Otherwise an awesome machine, and nice pics.

 

[ForceIndia]

Mine drove better without spacers. Difference was slight, but there. But I'm anal about suspension, the setup took all day and lots of ¥¥¥

Yeah folk are running 15/20mm spacers on their cars which I thought was overkill. I just wanted to replicate the genuine CSL offset and 10mm spacers did that and were recommended by one of the site sponsors. It is low, but the time it took to set it up I couldn't be f*cked raising it again! 😂

Absolutely stunning boyo!!! :up:

Just get some 90 profile tyres innit.

 

[leeds_182]

Looks BOSS.

 

[Luigi172]

Epic car! Im looking at one with similar spec but with carbon roof.. Do you think the csl mods add value or would you still go for a standard one? Undecided to buy already done or pick and choose my self

I'd go for one that's had the subframe repaired, or at least had the resin injection. Regardless of mods.

 

[-Rob]

In your list of Mods you have 15mm front spacers (that you sold) and put 12mm on the front?

Were you having problems with the 235 tyres rubbing or was it just purely asthetics?

I'm looking at 15/12 spacers and 235/265 tyres too.

Car is looking perfect

15mm were fine mate, but the bigger spacer meant the chance of stone chips on the sides of the car increased, as the further out the wheels are, the less the body is protected

I've got 235/265 tyre setup and 12mm spacers all round.
