Yup another infrequent update:
Finally got the M3 sold! I had it for quite the time now and I found a buyer paying me a good prize (Phantom, u stoopid for selling me such a car for only 9.2k :b ). An middle aged man wanted something fun and something older, he dislikes the new M3 Turbo Engine and the E9Xs V8. He was looking for E36s and E46s and gave me a call. I polished the car and got the interior cleaned professionally. He was surprised by the condition of the Vehicle, the SMG 2 transmission not showing any signs of wear, even though already having 70k miles. I prepped the car before by getting a smoother, almost factory like, tune by the local tuner shop, swapped the wheels for the one on my S13 (look how big they look, they are 17s! Now I know why I didn't like the wheel setup, they just look too big!). I was able to sell the OEM wheels for a decent prize ( 1.450 V$, with tires: *LINK* ), removed the spoiler lip that some non M3 freak wanted (50 V$) and added a lil carbon shark fin cover that I found cheap on ebay for 50 bucks ( *LINK* ). Buyer was really happy with the car, but didn't wanted to buy it rightaway since he looked after an E36 too. Luckily (for me) the car had brown cheese underneath so mine got chosen. I welded in a silencer in the almost straight pipe so it wouldn't be such a cop magnet (-50 V$). He loved the sound! Here are some pics before he picked it up. Managed to sell it for 13.500 V$ which is a super prize in my eyes.




Now to the 240: Back on OEM wheels (wheel whore problems), removed and sold Sideskirts (V$500: *LINK* ) because they were looking weird with the current wheel setup and misc stuff.
I wrapped the center light in black again, now featuring a sticker I got when buying the wheels. I dislike the fitment of it though, will probably remove it since I have no other way to put it on, sorry! I grabbed a Momo 350mil steering wheel for a good prize too, so I don't have to look at the 90s designed stock one (V$200: *LINK* ) . I repositioned the boost controller to the bottom left of the interior, it's just glued with tape because I don't want to drill into the dashboard. I am very picky about drilling holes into things lol. Got some misc stuff for the engine bay aswell like some aftermarket reservoirs, plastic will turn to sheit after almost 30 years.
