M3 Sport Evolution. Passion and restoration.

[Mfever]

This is an outstanding build!!! any pics of the alpina and other series you're building???

Well, now when the engine and gearbox are fitted, I opened the box, where was a new propshaft. Much better than renovated. Sport Evo´s shaft is different than other M3´s.

Of course, new bolts and nuts.

...and installed it in place

Heat shields yet in place. Front shield is different between Sport Evo vs. normal M3 and Sport Evo´s shield has been many years NLA. Fortunately, I bought that shield a long time ago.

There sits, both of.

Also fitted this one.

Then I took a new exhaust system and noticed a small problem. I had two new rear mufflers, but I could not decide which to install. The first has a few scratches more than the other.

New gaskets.

Even rear muffler.

I would hate to think of lack of budget involved in this build. After you finish the car do you think you be able to stomach driving it? Crazy it's like BMW Classic warehouse is at your parts disposal.

Amazing progress!

This is a good question, which I don´t know the answer myself.

Amazing progress!

Thank´s

Well, the construction has progressed little while. I put a new oil cooler, pipes and mountings. Installation of groundcable I got to wear more than half an hour that I got it from fitting properly. But I love those little details :D

The original afm was so corroded that I bought a new one. Also new Motronic unit became and I got it already full of greasy fingerprints

Why a new DME? As spare or was faulty the old one (which I doubt?) No doubt your car is getting like new pretty much.

Inside the old DME is somekind of fucking chip. Plain chips can not be bought new, so I bought the whole DME.

Then I lift both front seats in place, installed center console, gear knob and handbrake handle. Interior is now almost complete.

Fenders and doors are also arranged in place. Begins to look like a car little bit.

Oh I see. Keep the ol DME, you maybe are able to repair it if it's a simple chip/component. If it's the main chip faulty, then yes, no replacement unless somone cloned it?

Keep the pics comming! Fantastic work

The amount of cash in this project has to be an astronomical amount.

Maybe I wrote a little unclear. Old DME is within the custom chip. I don´t know manufacturer. Chip was installed when I bought the car in 2006. So, old DME is not broken, but I don´t like those custom chips, they are just plain shit.

This is an unbelievably amazing car.

With the right software/hardware, one should be able to clone the original chip onto the "tuner" chip in the old DME, and then youll have a spare

[HerbertThePervert]

just wow! by far the sickest build i've ever seen.
