Congrats. I was about to do the same with my z. I love the e46 and e90 m3s, but people kept telling me my z was hotter. Plus with all the mods done to the z, I wouldn't have been able re-coupe all that time and money I spent on it. Funny cause Ive seen that red m3 before as well. Favorite wheel of all times is the work meisters for the z and m3. My vote is for some meisters 200%. Plus, I eat some serious cars on the track with my z, and I would be starting all over with an m3. I must admit, I would take a different approach to modding the m3 as u are. Clean and simple.
As for the csl look, I love it, but question being a poser because csl's came like that. But whatever floats your boat. That being said, I do love the trunks on them.
Keep us updated with your progress. And good luck. I still ck out the m3 boards now and then as well.

yeaa man, and thanks
haha appreciate the kind words. My Z was def. one of a kind in my eyes, never seen one done like it. Put a lot of time in that car and i def. miss it.
Thanks! I kinda knew in the back of my head that i will be going with another car since last year, just couldnt find a car worth switching to without breaking the bank. Then i remembered i've wanted an m3 since high school 
thanks, good luck with your search. I'd consider the e46 m3 and e39 m5, but idk about the 335. You gotta have the M badge bro lol, you'd be pissed everytime you see an m3. at least i would.
And i'd be sure to keep you guys updated, i've already replaced my headlight lense and tmrw will be going with different size tires. Removed the window tints. I'll be playing around with fitment for a while
I'll try to get new pics by next week

Heres some pics of the car with the following installed
-Painted reflectors
-Dark side markers
-New headlamps
-225/35/19 (replaced the 245/35/19 up front. Looks much better now that the front tires doesnt have taller side wall than the rears).
-Removed my 35% tint. I will be going for 15% tint all around and 50% windshield tint soon.
now i wish i had coilovers, i'd love to lower the fronts some more to even out the wheel gaps. Slight rake is what im going for, much sportier look imo.

Brand new Umnitza orion v2 angel eyes came in along with clear sidemarkers and led sidesmarker bulbs just came in. Thanks to a fellow member for hooking me up.
I bought the dark sidemarkers but wasnt completely happy with the results. I thought being so dark they'd blend in, but they look out of place to me. The clear just looks more natural, and if my factory ones weren't so hazed i woulda kept those.
Also the sidemarker leds, for some reason don't fit. They wont pop in completely making me unable to install the sidemarkers??? Im using the stock bulbs for now till i figure out whats wrong.

Nice car! I had one in the same color combo, only mine was an SMG. Good call on keeping those wheels, they're very nice and hard to find. If you decide to sell, they will fetch a good chunk of change on the forums.
If you decide against the CSL style trunk, I think the CSL diffuser would look great on there. I had one on with the stock trunk and it was sexy as hell
You should also look into the LED replica tail lights, they aren't too expensive and they make the car look way newer.
Not to take away from your thread, but heres a couple pics of mine:
Have fun and treat her well!

Update:
Traded my Kinesis F110 for some OEM 19's. To me its an upgrade in terms of looks. These oem 19's just fit the car better, and looks even better rolling. Plus i get some much needed cash. The downside is their heavy, real heavy compared to the kinesis (~10lbs difference). Off the line/low rpm my car feels so sluggish compared to before, had to relearn 1st gear to avoid stalling. Car felt 2x better with the lighter wheels, never knew it would make this much of a difference.
I also installed the smoked crystal depo corner lights, then removed them. The clear to me looks better. The smoked didnt really match the headlights, theyre darker and looks too aftermarket for my taste. I'll probably keep em for backup or if i get tired of the clears i'll swap em out. I just prefer to keep my car looking as oem as possible, with an aggressive stance.
Sorry for crappy pics, bad lighting and batteries went out.
Im running 25mm spacers up front and 15mm spacers out back. Shoulda went with 30mm up front. I also ended up ruining my H&R spacers trying to remove em from the rears. I had to us a stupid hammer to get em out. Anything i put on that rear hub gets stuck
