    what you are doing is just what should be done with an M3 in that condition..

        Rust, 450hp, track work...that's my guess.

          Thanks for the comments guys.

          As for the subframe it´s just probably result of rust and some hard
          track driving on Toyo R888's.

            Decided to see how it handles on normal street tires ;)







































            As you can see the tires were completely worn out and I had managed to
            rub the rear bumper.

            Here are some vids:

                    My life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather i will skid in broadside,thoroughly used up,totally worn out and loudly proclaiming....WOW..What a ride!

                        Yes the car is now back in Iceland.

                        The pics were taken on a small track just outside Reykjavik.
