Well obviously everybody knows i sold my tib to java, i took the money that i got from that, and like an idiot bought another car...
I have a good job, but it requires me to work long hours and do random travel, so i watned something that i could have fun with but woudlnt require me to really "tinker" with to have fun with it, and i wanted to know it would start every time and could do daily driver duty (as this is my only car right now... but there may be a beta powered monster coming)
the car is a 2002 bmw m3
15" 4 piston Stoptechs up front 14" 4 piston in the rear
SMG trans
19" BBS CH Wheels
H&R coilovers
Borla Exhaust
VCSL trunk
VCsl diffuser
Sparco Milano Alcantar Seats
6000k Low beams and Fogs
lots of other misc mods im finding on the car
Summer wheels/mode
Winter mode/wheels

WOW! I want some of your random travelling!
beauty, it's good of you to come back around and update. so tell me, you can't even compare the ride quality to the tiburon can you? last time i was in a beamer that thing stuck to the road stock @ 110mph.

The thing was pretty fast too, we had to run for parts a few times when installing deestibo's kit and it was fun, some stupid integra thought he had a chance and was revving at us.
being the adult individuals we are, bryan tapped the throttle to let him know this aint a honda, then let off. We figured if we looked on honda tech that night the teggy driver prolly posted up a "kill story" lmao.gif
Nice ride tho, i tried to convince him to put a blower on it, haha

well the thign with this car is that it has coilovers and sway bars... so its a track whore... and it runs on 19's so ride quality isnt the greatest, but thats my fault not the cars.... as far as handling... its the best car ive ever had... my tib handles well with teh eibach prokit and stopped well with the willwoods... but i have a full 4 corner BBK and the best coilovers you can get for this car with it corner weighted... so @ track days the thing is hillarious... i can place it anywhere i want and know it will exit the corner well... also the SMG is a riot on the track.... it automaticly rev matches downshifts and blips the throttle.... very fun to hear...
The car now has headers on it as well.. which are a big gain on the car...
but i REALLY miss having a boosted car... so pretty soon you will probably see me picking up a 97 tib to turn into a drag car..... gonna do it stock motor style cuz i can get a bunch for ~ 200 bux a piece so i may start testing the limits of "things" but thats after i buy a house next year and finally get a garage
