wasnt m3 Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 Just picked up a very nice 1999 Z3M Coupe this past weekend. Only 56k on the clock. Originally cosmos over black, repainted very well back in 2005 in Laguna Seca Blue. Can't wait to start modifying it! Stock currently, other than H&R springs. First order of business is finding some oem headlights. m42b32, patsbimmer1, Partiallypurple and 8 others 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i_love_cars Posted July 12, 2021 Report Share Posted July 12, 2021 I went out of my way to login to WIBimmers this morning specifically so I could find the post I knew you would make about this car, and flag it as Liked.

wasnt m3 Posted November 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2021 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 actually held off on driving the car until I had the stock lights in. I hated the aftermarket ones that much haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasnt m3 Posted February 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 Started working on a set of wheels that I've had laying around for a little over a year. Had some custom Radinox lips made by Felgenfuchs in Germany. The wheels are 18" AC Schnitzer Type 2 Racing, made by Ronal. I had to buy an entire e36 M3 to get them.... Thankfully, everything came apart without breaking any of the unobtainable titanium hardware. I need to have a friend machine the faces before powder coating. Can't wait to get these together!

wasnt m3 Posted February 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 Making progress tonight. Rears needed a little clearancing at a 4 degree angle to fit inside the new lips. A friend that dabbles in machining got me set up and was able to try my hand at it. Brand new center caps should be here tomorrow. Then, off for coating.

Best part was showing up to his place, beating on the m3 and then leaving with the engine all in the same morning 😁 Rekpoint and wasnt m3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungCR Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 Just causally jumps into machining his own wheels 😂 Gonna be even more rewarding to look at once done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasnt m3 Posted March 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2022 Setback after setback....this is the final result! 295 rear tires and 245 fronts, fitment is great but I plan to lower it just a bit more.

P_Roloff Posted March 30, 2022 Report Share Posted March 30, 2022 Oh my goodness, that’s incredible looking. The style fits it so well, I’m really excited to see it in person eventually! Glad you were able to get them all figured out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rekpoint Posted March 30, 2022 Report Share Posted March 30, 2022 Turned out fantastic. All it took was me begging you to buy that full M3 for the wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasnt m3 Posted April 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 KW coilovers, Ground Control camber/caster plates, lower control arms, TC Kline rear shock mounts, sway bar links and bushings all installed the past week or two. Had some time to do a paint correction yesterday as well as install a paint matched rear wiper delete. Getting closer to being satisfied...for now. patsbimmer1, Jdesign, The Full Banana and 9 others 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
