I know de-badging is cleaner folks but I rather like the BHS//M3....and Joel is going to get me some stuff for cost so I should advertise.
Nice looking M3, sounds like a real fun daily driver.

Since that Autometer is a narrow-band gauge, it's really not doing much to help you other then flash some pretty lights. An AEM wideband will fit in the exact same 52mm hole and will actually provide some useful info that could help save you an engine some day.

As for the boost gauge, just get something you like. Defi BF are very nice looking and are pretty useful with the peak/hold and record functions. The Amber-Red model should match your factory gauges fairly well. The BF are all 60mm though (if I remember correctly), but it should still fit in that pod with some careful trimming.

That is a serious M3. Anything by BHS is top notch. Congrats!

The whole car is an individual, available only in Europe by special order. The color (one of a kind ) is Nachblau (German for night blue). Naseem (the original owner) purchased the car through his military program on his way back and forth from Iraq.

The door sill says individual.

Also, it has the Nappa leather (5.5k) option. All plastic and metal has been replaced by Nappa leather, dash is leather.

Ahhh I remember that car now. i saw a picture of it on one of the BMW forums I used to frequent of that color next to my carbon black. Very similar but you can definitely see the difference. That is an amazing car!!! There are a number of sweet colors through the individual program like any of the old E36 M colors.

I wasn't keen on the gauge placement when I owned the vehicle. I asked for the gauge cluster to be placed in the sunglass holder...you can see where the shop put it.

I ordered the car option 320...Debadged!

Nice M3.

I would ditch the badging (lettering), otherwise perfect.
The GT2...what can I say, one of the world's greatest cars!
