The photos that will follow are of my M3 Evolution Coupe (some with private plate on, some with std plate on). It has LOADS & LOADS of reciepts from all modifications and services it has had. I will attempt to make a list but christ.......there is way to much to list in reality. This car is not to everyones taste i know, but i believe in "each to their own", and i hope other people agree.

INTERIOR
  • Carbon door trims
  • Carbon dash trims
  • Carbon handbrake
  • Carbon gear stick
  • Carbon BMW badge on steering wheel
  • DVD head unit
  • Chrome dial surrounds
  • Harmon-Kardon system
  • Re-trimmed roof lining in brand new alcantara
  • Chrome switch surrounds
  • Chrome hardbrake button
  • Lovely cream leather (un-cracked)
  • Electric rear windows (still astounded by those....lol)
  • Clifford Concept 600 Full closure alarm(lots more i have forgotten)
EXTERIOR
  • GT front lip
  • Carbon rear spoiler painted but lip and sides left with carbon showing
  • Grill de-chromed and sprayed black
  • HID headlights incorporating angel eyes
  • Xenon bulbs in fog lights
  • Tinted Crystal side repeaters
  • De-locked
  • Carbon front and rear badges
  • Rear window spoiler
  • Roof covered in black vinyl
  • Tinted windows(a few bits and pieces i have forgotten)
ENGINE
  • Full BMW service history
  • K&N Typhoon sectioned off from rest of engine
  • Sports Catalytic converter
  • AC Schitzer cat-back system
  • RE-MAP
  • Rolling road print out of 341.4bhp from Interpro
WHEELS & SUSPENSION
  • 19 inch ADR Design 10 spoke deep dish alloy wheels
  • Brand new Pirelli P-Zero's all round
  • Koni shocks and springs lowered 60mm at rear 40mm at front
  • Front alloy strut brace
  • Rear Carbon Strut brace
BRAKES
  • Drilled and grooved EBC discs front and rear
  • Calipers painted red with Redstuff pads






























Well, thats my car. Some of you will like it, some of you will hate it, and some of you wont be able to make your mind up.

Thanks for looking.

+1

Standard wheels would be better, I like the ones off the Evo.
That rear spoiler is rancid.

Wheels and spoiler aren't my cup of tea, but the car as a whole looks lovely. Nice one.

Again, wheels and spoiler may be a bit much, but certainly looks aggressive from the front!

Very nice. I see you've fitted a car to that spoiler?

Standard wheels and it'd look miles better smile

I like apart from the rear spoiler. Maybe the front is a touch deep too. Without the rear spoiler I think would look great, keeping the idea of the wheels.. ie black with silver rims. Just not sure of the design

Very nice except how the stereo looks terribly out
of place in the dash.

Other than that

I would say an e46 csl style boot would look lovely rather than the spoiler, and some nice E36 BBS Split Rims (in chrome) with fatter tyres than those in this ad

A carbon fibre bonnet with a tasteful bulge like the e46 M3 and an e46 CSL style bootlid

With these modifications- Classy

+ 73 for the wheels and spoiler - not really suited IMHO. Otherwise beautiful, looks in good nick.
