well after being a long time driver of hondas.....and a G35 along the line.....I always wanted to try out German engineering and have one of my own (although i still have much love for Japanese cars). i just picked up a '99 E36 m3 convertible with 87,500 on the clock. i'll be needing alot of help and advice along the way with all this German craziness. here are a few pics of my previous rides.....and my new toy

went from this

to this

to this (had some things to take care of....desparate times call for desparate measures)

and finally today....this:

we'll see where this project takes me.....lol :thumbup: :thumbup:

thanks for checking Weezie (a-la The Jeffersons) out,
Chris

well i JUST got it.....lol. albeit they're factory they don't look TOO bad =)

dannyb-i wasn't actually looking for another convertible....this one just happened to show up. as far as my S2000, i was waiting for a quick release hub and steering wheel to come in when i decided to canecl my order (because it was taking too long) and started parting the car out. it was just about to see the track =(

wow. that s2k is really low! do the tires rub under aggressive driving?

are those tires street tires or track only? nice rides though...

they were r-compound tires....street legal and all but would perform best on a track. i made the stencil. the tires would rub depending on the dip i was going down in the road or the bump and how fast i was going. but yeah...it was DUMPED!
