My Turbo M3....
Hey Guys,
Realized I never put anything up on here about the new ride so.... Here it is
I received my car from HPF on 12/5 and after driving a few days wanted to give my detailed review!! First of all this is the first time I have ever seen my car, I purchased it sight unseen and sent it to HPF direct! It's a beautiful 2006 Alpine White/Black M3 w/ Comp. Package and has no sunroof or power seats (ideal lightweight!!). The car has only 8800 miles on it and is like new in everyway with not a mark on it!! Got really lucky with this one!! The car is just an absolute blast to drive!! You guys have seen all the car my familly and I have had over the years... This one is by far the most fun!!
Specs:
-HPF Stage 2 Turbo w/Meth. Switch
-HPF Clutch
-Supersprint Race Exhaust
-KW V2 Coilovers
-TMS Sway Bars
-EAS BlackOut Grills
-Rouge Engineering 15mm(F)/10mm(R) Spacers
-MyCarr LED Angel Eyes
-6000K Headlights
-6000K HID Fogs
-Painted Reflectors
-HPF Subframe Reenforcement
-CDV Delete
-OEM AUX Imput
Pictures (Before Spacers Were Installed):

Nice ride.....I noticed you stated that your M3 was the third fastest on street tires.... Out of how many cars on the track?

Thanks Everyone!!
8Speed: There were 45 Cars out there that day ranging from Mini Cooper S's to A Gallardo (Only .05 faster than me)
NickyBlack: The car is totally different than the M5. Its much more fun and nimble which is what I was after!! Not to mention a hell of a lot faster (even with the M5 on spray). The M5 was still a great car though, just didn't need such a big car, I am young and I want to have fun!! Plus turbo powerband and sounds are just awesome!!

A friend of mine came over and detailed the M3 today from grill to tip (I mean this guy is OCD about cleaning every nook and cranny) and we saw a nice spot to grab some photos at sunset... Now that the spacers are on the car looks MUCH better!! I am calling this "Phase 1 (Sleeper)". I do plan on getting aggressive with the car (Spoilers and wheels) at some point, but I will roll like this for awhile
Enjoy....

Evan :thumbsup2:

Nice, Top Gear actually drove a (stock) IS-F a second slower than a Gallardo with the Stig driving.....on street tires
Sweet car bro, love the color!

Man, that is one of the most beautiful M3's I've ever seen.
The E46 M3's are like a bad ex girlfriend for me. I finally get over it and then I somehow see a picture of it again and fall in love all over.
It's ridiculous. Alpine White is so gorgeous on those cars.
If I saw that HPF badge on the back of your car I would bow down and give you the right of way. They don't mess around.
I'd love to get a ride in that beast one day!

No doubt that is the best color, but he better be running low 11's with that setup (and license plate) because the new AMG C63 is running 11.5 on a tune alone
