    Went to visit my M3

    My recently purchased M3 arrived in upstate NY mid October. I drove it 3 hours back to Boston sniffing fumes the entire way. I drove it to German Autosport the next day. With winter here, I am in no rush to get it back, so a few things are being taken care of. I went to visit it today since I haven't seen it since I picked it up.

    The car definitely needs more than I was hoping it would need.

    Here is what is happening due to broken/corroded/worn parts:
    New gas tank, neck, fuel lines, fuel pump
    New rear brake lines
    New steering knuckle
    New engine mounts
    Repair/reinforce front subframe
    Stainless oil cooler lines with AN fittings

    While it's up there I am also getting:
    Stromung exhaust
    GC adjustable camber/caster mounts
    Top seams on rear seat stitched
    Some undercarriage dents and surface corrosion addressed

    I have M-System 1/turbines sitting in my garage waiting for tires.

    Anyway, here are a few photos:

            Sticker is coming off. It's an abstract "1552."
            That is the name of the PO's shop.

              Yup. It sure is.

              I need to get the car to where I can enjoy driving it. The rest of the work will be done over a long period of time.

              It's rougher than it looks in photos.

                            What kind of springs/shock is it on? Looks a little lower than stock.
