So this is my 94 e36 M3 swap (Soon to be a e46 M3 CSL swap for the front end). Basically, I just wanted it to be as functional and clean as possible, and build something any hardcore Deutschlander could be proud of. I don't really like to give ALL my mods away (most are fairly stealth and you'll have to really know your way around Bimmers to spot them) and plenty more are to come as I've only had the car for about 6 months.

Some odd night pics here. The blue headlight film makes my sidemarkers light up with this sick blue effect, can't see it to well on the shoddy cell phone camera, but you get a little bit.

The new carbon intake, sounds beautiful & insulates better

So here is the start of my interior work. Custom tailored seat covers, recolored/redyed leather door panels, painted trim pieces and dash to match. One-off headliner art is my next project. And yes, I did it myself.

And once again, you can't tell on the cell camera -but all the cabin lights are bright red, including the window switches, OBC (except the lcd sceen unfortunately), and gauge lights. I really hated the amber, and red preserves night vision when you're scanning for the pork chops. Take things apart, and usually if you don't break it, you'll be rewarded.

And the transformation continues...

Carpet still needs to be replaced or dyed black. Eeewww. More to come.

Carbon A and C pillars are in the works (Possibly the interior Bs too, but they get a lot of hits from the damn seatbelts, and I can forsee lots of scratches if I do)
