DISCLAIMER: I know this is not an M3. I will never call it an M3. I did not put the M3 body on it, I bought it like that. I know that I have an 89 325i.
Well, now that is out of the way, time for the good stuff. As some of you saw in a previous thread of mine, my '89 Alpine was wrecked by a Kia on Memorial Day this year. I had the car for about 3 weeks
prior to the accident.
this is what she looked like when I bought her:
This is her after the accident:
Totaled. I spent the next 2 months fighting with the insurance company, because as you can see, this car was far from stock. The negotiations basically started out with them telling me that they could buy my car all day long for $1200. I sent them $8000 in receipts for the car, they still said that it was all general maintnence. After sever phone calls that verged on threatening, I received $3003 for the car, and I got to keep it. Now starts the fun part. I went to a local garage to get an estimate on my car, like what it was worth, and turned up a new gem. After a month of work, She is finally done. Right now I only have a couple pictures, but here they are:
So as you can see, it looks pretty damn close to an M3. I ended up putting a shitload of work into it. Right now, the specs are:
Supersprint exhaust
H&R Sports
Bilstien Sports
IE sway bars
Drilled and slotted rotors
Hawk pads
Black Leather Cabby interior
Chinese Headers
No Cats
Euro Grills
K&N Filter
4.27 Rear End :(
M20
5 spd
So basically I took everything out of my white car and transfered it into this one. That includes swapping it from an autotragic to a 5spd. Motor, tranny, interior, suspension, brakes, and wheels to name a little.
Let me know what you think.
Oh, and before anyone asks, the car on the left is a '95 M3 with an S52 converted to OBD1, and the car on the right is a '69 2002 with an S14 under the hood :o
