I bought a wheel
PS: Came with the rest of the car too
________________________________________________________
EDIT: Right I should probably introduce the car a bit better than "hey I bought a wheel" lol. Since I am documenting this build on another forum I will try my best to keep everything in the right order.
First, it was collection day!
Here it is being loaded onto it's trailer (for obvious reasons I could not go and collect due to lockdown):
And an hour later it was home, sorry for the crappy pictures, I was too excited to take more lol:
Excuse the state it's in, the tree sap/pollen or whatever it is that keeps dropping at this time of year is annoying as hell and gets any car dirty within a few hours of it sitting there.
Here is the spec and some of it's maintenance history:
Major Upgrades & Maintenance within the last 4,500 miles:
Subframe plated and resin injected - Preventive by CA Automotive
Vanos Clearances & Filter replacement
Rogue Rear Trailing Arm Bushes
Rogue Rear Top Mounts
RevShift Engine Mounts
RevShift Transmission Mounts
H&R Adjustable Anti Roll bars
Purple Tag Quick Steering Rack
CSL track rods
Rear lower ball joint bushes
Hack engineering Billet Exhaust Hangers
Stainless Steel exhaust Flanges
Both Front wings replaced with OEM – There wasn’t any rust, just pure preventative whilst having front end resprayed.
All Diff / Brake / Steering / Gearbox Fluids flushed and replaced inc hoses, etc
Modifications
CSL Alloys (genuine) wearing Michelin Pilot Sport 4S
Alcon Big Brake Kit 6 Pot front / 4 Pot rear
KW V2 Suspension
H&R Wheel Spacers 12mm front 10mm Rear
Evolve CSL Style Carbon Airbox
Eventuri Air Scoop
Motion Motorsport Aluminium Under panel
Interior Boot release switch
Mirror John leak free rear view mirror
Storm Gear Knob & extended alloy SMG shift paddles
Intravee II & Alpine KCA-420i with 'Stay Awake' Mod
Tuning & Coding
Tuned CSL Engine Software Remap
CSL '255' Gearbox Software
CSL Engine Oil Warm Up lights
CSL Rev Matching
Delimited
M-Track (Less Intrusive DSC)
Auto door Locking @ 5MPH
Bleep on lock/unlock
Carphonics Stage 2 BM54 Amp Upgrade
Carphonics Stage 2 Digital freeview TV/DAB Tuner Upgrade
Most recent power run:
This is my second E46 M3, the previous was a SG facelift Coupe and had a manual gearbox. I should have never sold that car but unfortunately while I could afford to buy it at the time, I could not maintain it to a standard it deserved, so due to financial circumstances it had to go.
Things are different now and I intend on keeping this one in tip top condition with OEM+ modifications in mind, improving upon the base the the previous owners have already established.
