Toby22's M3
#161
Still looks clean. And the reason why a craptastic accord gets eyeballed more than a clean M3 is because "stance" kids and "hellaflush" kids are...KIDS. Most of them aren't car guys. They're trendy types. Stance is the new thing so they jump on that.
Some folks, however, are just car guys who happen to like low cars and flush(ish) wheels and don't fall into that category. They're rare tho man. lol

Thanks!

lol thanks anyway

well me being in the military, I have to deal with copy cat unoriginal people on a daily basis. When I bought my car just a year ago, there were only 2 maybe 3 of us with E46 m3. Now there's a whopping 10+ e46 m3 in base. And it's funny how 5 of them park around my car in the same parking lot Same color and wheels too
Don't get me started with when I had my Z on base half the reason i got rid of it

Im going to change the way I mod my car from now on. No more keeping it subtle,...12" wide wheels, loud exhaust, dark tints, and csl parts coming soon. For now
Pulled fenders, +5mm spacers, lower

make sure you keep your oem parts. you'll be back to being subtle. you had your car for about a year now. sounds about the right time for the mod bug to bite your bored ***.

Thanks, it's nothing that hasn't been done before. But it's the little things that will matter most.
Thanks, I love that exhaust. The tips look perfect and the sound as well
lol sorry it took so long. and thanks!
yep, hate it. I can't blame people to buy used e46 m3's since a lot of them are affordable now. But knowing that these kids didn't even have this car in there dream list untill they saw a lowered one with shiny aggressive stock wheels rolling past them with me in it I kinda wish their vanos blow up or maybe their subframes tear to pieces lol. Just bcs they can buy the car doesnt mean they can afford to maintain
Last year it was 350z/s2k. This year it's e46 m3
*****, your talking to the person that told you to never sell oem parts. And it's not the mod bug, trust me. I rarely think about this car at all with everything going on.

UPDATE: Milltek Exhaust
Milltek has always been my #1 muffler choice from day1 for many reasons.
1. Highly respected exhaust brand
2. Very rare (I never see these in the fs section, reason i stayed stock for so long. And these cost way too much to even consider buying new)
3. Best looking exhaust (They started it all! Only reason i looked into the SGT and Rouge was bcs of how close their tips look like the milltek. Plus the tips do not stick out too much like most aftermarket mufflers, perfect for anyone that is not a fan of the csl diffuser like myself and would rather run factory diffuser)
4. Aggressive but Mild tone (not much louder than stock, minimal if any drone, sounds amazing!)
5. Weight reduction (not the lightest, but a good 15lbs off stock)
Pics of the exhaust
If you never heard it (not mine)
Also got 245/35/19 all around, so true square setup as of now. Raised my car in the process
25mm spacers rear
Put on some CF CSL splitters
Went a little lower, replaced 25mm to 20mm spacers, and removed the splitters
To do list
1. CSL trunk
2. Euro front bumper
3. New paint job
4. Evolve tune (already got the AA tune, but i need the catless ready option)
5. BBK

I actually got the windows tinted last week. 20% all around + 40% windshield. Removed it the next day, too dark and didn't look right. Plus it hid my beautiful cinnamon interior from the public eyes lol. I did keep the 40% windshield tho May do 40% all around soon
