Larry's 89 Zinno E30 M3 build

Thanks a lot! I need to update this thread with the new wheels.

The interior has turned into somewhat of a fiasco. It arrived with missing / damaged parts. Long story short, I'm sending the front seats and one of the rear seats to the upholsterer for repair. Hopefully I'll get everything installed sometime this spring...we'll see.

Shipping seats is always scary. Basically impossible to return, within reason, and there's always something wrong. I used to ship mustang seats all over the place and I would say over 50% of the time there were issues, most of the time occurring between when they left my place and when they arrived.

Gorgeous car man! Gorgeous.

This. This whole thread... the color, the interior, the sheer [I]perfection[I] of it all. It blows me away! This is more than a simple car... and you sure as hell know it.

First dibs if you ever sell! ;)

Dude everything turned out great. Anxious to see that interior!

If you get your M here in summer I bet we could get Jeremy Cliff to shoot them together. I have it stored at GT HAUS in the burbs near O'Hare accessible on weekdays so keep me posted. Will be working on the 325ic on weekends getting it summer ready.

That would be awesome. Will definitely let you know if I make it up there with the car.

Update:

M-tech interior is on the way. Genuine M color M-tech front and rear cards. Recaro SRD and M3 rear seats with black leather and M-tech fabric centers.

And unveiling a brand new wheel design on the car in the next couple of weeks. Should all be coming together around the same time.

It will basically look like this:



Pictures soon ;D

I actually just drove there and back from NY a couple of weeks ago, but it could happen this summer in the M3. Either way, I'll be back out there in probably a week or two. Would love to check out your car in person.

Did you ever put the brake ducts in? Im about to paint mine and want to see how they look on yours

I havent installed them yet. If I do, I want them to be functional and the Evo 3 channels that connect the ducts to the wheel liners are like $1k.

This is pretty much how they'll look. Hope that helps.
