First Post!

I'm finally selling my 2006 BMW M3 due to my recent purchase (see pic below):

Just picked up my black on black 2002 996 Turbo pushing 600 hp to the crank (going to dyno it to be sure but my sales guy at the dealership is also a good friend of mine so his word on the horsepower plus the blinding fast 3rd gear highway pulls i've experienced . . . i tend to believe him) - I've driven Porsche's before but damn this sucker is fast! (0-60 in 3.2/3.3 seconds) I feel fortunate due to the previous owner being a Porsche employee and all performance modifications were installed under the watchful eyes of certified Porsche technicians - best part is the engine/trans was completely replaced 5000 miles ago at the dealership (previous engine's timing chain broke) so the current guts of the whip are basically new!

I look forward to getting a 1/4 mile time within the next few months at the track

Some previously installed upgrades include:

K24 Porsche Turbos
Status Chip
Brembo 8-piston front brakes
997 short shifter
GT3 RS flywheel
GT2 intercooler
JIC Cross coilovers
Cargraphic Exhaust
19" black Rennworx Wheels (19 lb)
Silver Crest
Black Techart Headlight cover
Painter Rockers and Bumper
Painted Calipers
Yellow Seatbelts
Yellow Dials


More pictures are on the way (will be having professional photos done along with my pop's Mercedes CLS 63 AMG)

I'm installing a Kenwood dnx1700 Nav/DVD/Sirius/bluetooth/backup camera/Ipod unit, ordered black floor mats with yellow "turbo" and trim, and blacking out the rear turbo emblem and rear red taillights this week

Additional items/decisions I'm pondering are as follows: (suggestions as to best price/sponsors for these and any OEM vs Techart vs Mashaw vs Misha 911 opinions welcome - but I'll be searching too)

GT2 front bumper and GT2 wing+decklid
Aluminum Pedals
CF door sills
bright white turn signal lights
6000k xenon headlight bulbs
997 side vents

Anyway, I look forward to participating in this forum for years to come as I'm proud to now be a Porsche owner. I now can finally fully appreciate what my Porsche buddy's were raving about when i had my ///M Any questions comments welcome . . .

Cheers!!

Holy ****. That is deadly bro. Like straight lethal. I'm not so sure about the headlight covers but it's a minor detail.

 

Congrats, car looks hot

 

Yea that was the only modification i wasn't too sure about as well - but I'll give them a shot for a bit as that's an easy fix if i don't feel them in a month or two . . .
