    One of his

    other cars made a cameo appearance

     

    Thanks for looking, C&C Welcome! Smiley

    Very nice photo's. I still don't know why the previous owner sold it. He spent so much time on Smiley   

    Congratulations to your friend on a fine purchase!

    Contrary to today's mantra, large wheels with skinny tires really are engineering-wierdness and do not enhance anything...appearance when design reflects rich aesthetic tast involving balance in relative sizes of the car's various parts; but especially ride, handling and roadholding i.e. tires remaining on the road, on anything but non-existent  billiard-table smooth roads...in most countries in the world.

    This is an example of the fable of the King who believed his taylor had given him nothing but non-existent cloths...

    Sorry...sorry...they just do no good for the car

    I love the upgrades, just not sure I'd fit a SC to a car with such a great N/A engine? How does the DKG cope with the extra power?

    Thanks Mike. Your's has a few similarities too! God, I love that Monaco blue. Speaking of which, how far are you? Have been looking forward to updates on your car for a while.

    Since inception, performance cars have never been about making sense. "Sensibility" & "practicality" are variables that always tend to get chucked to the bottom of the list when performance cars are being built/customised. Its also no big secret, that the more we pay for them, the less practicality we concede from them, yet so many people continue to pay top dollar into endless money pits where profits & practicality in return are not guaranteed? Why? WHY? Because of the way the make us feel. Thats all that matters.

    If everything in our world was based on sensibility then everyone on earth would only driver Camry's & Corrolla's. What a sterile world that would be?  Thankfully variety does exist. You are of course entitled to your opinion.

     

    I love the upgrades, just not sure I'd fit a SC to a car with such a great N/A engine? How does the DKG cope with the extra power?

    I am of the belief that the stock M3 has more then sufficient power. With the SC its absolutely manic. As far as I know, ESS reprogram the ECU which includes a software remap of the DCT  transmission to handle the extra dose of power. The DCT runs through all the gears in typical rapid succession without any hint of  a struggle. On down shifts the sounds that emanates from the titanium Akrapovic exhaust is sensational Smiley

     

    Nice photos - looks very cool 

    Thanks Easy Smiley

    Wow that's an amazing car. Congratulations, these pics are beautiful too. One of the nicest modded M3s i've seen.. apart from Mike S of course, that is a beauty too.

    indeed shifting is ancient technology - so is a fuel burning engine..  I happen to like both :)
