E86 ///M

[scunick]

So... I have a new member of the ///M family. Here she is. Picked her up as a 100% stock Z4 M Coupe. So far have done the 20's and had her detailed. Now need to find an exhaust and some induction (missed the schnitzer that was on sale here 2 weeks ago:argh

I suspect that the previous owner was not that into ///M's and while she was pretty well looked after there were a number of little issues that had to be resolved. A quick trip to the local dealer and her brakes, headlight washers, wheel alignment and nav updated and sorted.
Bring on the fun!:joy:

That is a nice looking ride. Not a fan of those wheels though - prefer the originals, but overall, the car looks good and those pics are great :thumbs:

Originals now adorn the storage garage walls, along with my e34 turbines, e39 m5 18's, e46 18's and 35" muddies ( from the monster:rollsmile

They are a copy of a Hamman wheel... I like but my choice of wheels is always a little off centre... ( I am pretty sure that the wheels on my E46 m3 would also not be to some people tastes)

Cheers

Really awesome cars these, congrats, though I have to agree the wheels don't really suit it.

 

[Bayn46]

Very nice! I'm sure you're gonna have some fun :rollsmile:

Awesome shots Nick! Will post mine up from the detail probably tomorrow evening once the pics are edited and uploaded. raise:

Those wheels are epic in reality. I assume you got hold of a longer numberplate for the front?

Awesome car!

Still one of my favourite M's.
Awesome car you have there. She looks gorgeous.
Recognised those as the Hamann reps. Good stuff :thumbs:

Nice.
Off topic, but what happened with the GTR fix?

Nice.

Well we are 80% of the way through the world most ridiculously expensive engine rebuild. Bottom end is done, Head is complete, cams are in. Now we have to finish getting all the bolt on's installed. Drop the motor back in, install the new boost controller and ECU and we are hopefully done. Planning on dragging about 550hp out of the motor with the new HKS turbos.

So I hope to have my Japanese step child back on the road in about 2 weeks.

Nope... i am not... but here is a single pic i had lying around

Not really restored... It was so far gone that the only parts used were the driver side Door skin and the tail gate... everything else replaced. Now running a 1uz-fe motor. She is epic fun.
