wasnt m3

Kind of forgot to post this, but anyways my secret Santa found me an old German m coupe dealer brochure, AutoWeek magazine from 98 featuring the m coupe, and a CCA beanie. Love it all!

Apologies for starting early. I'll be running around with in-laws for the next few days and didn't want to wait to post until after Christmas.
Thanks to Santa (Chris) for the great e46 3-series sedan dealer brochure (many many pages of detail and options), M3 poster, and BMWCCA calendar!
   

I'd agree, the frozen black makes the car look cheap. Also, pretty crappy description and photos for a car of that caliber. 

Job is done and very well worth it! Didn't get a whole lot of pics, but got a few. First drive home makes me not want to put it in garage for winter yet. Lol. Revs like a son of a bitch and shifting is very smooth with new detents. 
I did screw up and bought the wrong DSSR. The one I got was for the e36, thinking it was the same. Well, the Z3 shift arm is almost twice as long as the e36. Had to reuse the stock arm for now and will be ordering the correct one to swap in over winter. 
All-in-all I'm very happy with the result and will be tough to take it easy next spring to break-in the clutch correctly.

Tomorrow is clutch day! Taking the Z to a friend's shop to use his 2-post lift to knock it out before the salt flies. 
Finished up installing parts on the spare transmission. It got all new detents, new slave cylinder, SS braided clutch line, shift fork pin & spring, shift rod joint, UUC DSSR, shift bushings and Redline MT-LV fluid. 
Will be doing the rear main seal, JB racing lightweight flywheel, M3 pressure plate & spring hub clutch disc with new throwout bearing and pilot bearing as well.

Time to get the ball rolling again. Assignments will be on 11/25!

A few weeks ago @pynacl and I decided to meet up in Prescott Wisconsin and drive the Mississippi down to Pepin then up towards Durand for some Stone Barn Pizza. One of the last HOORAHS before putting the M3s in storage.
Great driving roads + fall colors, Cant get much better then that.
Saw a few cool cars out doing the same thing we were. A few miatas, a Z3M roadster with a Dinan exhaust and a sweet brand new Aston Martin
Shout out to Ethyn + Jake for the photos. I forgot my camera as per usual.

Today was a great day to get out for a little back roads drive! Since picking the car up, I've swapped wheels/tires, stock headlights, added wheel spacers, Gruppe M carbon airbox, bimmerworld intake elbow to delete ASC, AC Schnitzer leather steering wheel, and installed a BMW motorsports golf ball weighted knob.

I went with one of those black silicone frames. Worked perfect.

I'll have to check those out. Thanks!
