Got CF?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here's my 1997 BMW M3.
The car started off as a stock M3 with luxury package 6 years ago. Over the past years, I've completely changed the look of the car, modding basically every part of it. Below are pictures and a mods list. The pics go from newest to oldest. The car is a member of Team Eurowerkz. More info on the club can be found at www.eurowerkz.com .

Update 7/8/09: Car had the .080 MLS headgasket done, ARP2000 Studs, autopower powdercoated roll bar, welded oil pump nut, smaller supercharger pulley, and water temp gauge installed. The car dynoed 409whp and 330rwtq on a Mustang dyno.

 

Update 6/29/09: Pics of: Rotora Front and rear BBK,  6 speed transmission, kenne bell boost-a-pump, colder plugs, Active Autowerke Signature Badge, and black lug kit can be found below...

Car just won Best BMW Wild 2nd Place at the OC MD June 09 Car show!

Coming Soon: Hamann GTR sideskirts with carbon undersills, Kenne Bell boost-a-pump dial relocation, Turner Motorsport stage 2 euro M3 oil cooler setup, aftermarket engine mounts

Dyno Update 3/23/09: Made 403rwhp and 329rwtq on a Mustang Dyno. I was running out of fuel up top so  a Kenne Bell boost-a-pump will installed and colder spark plugs. Hoping for 425+rwhp next pulls!

OLD DYNO RESULTS:
242rwhp, 226rwtq with an exhaust leak and the dyno was done on an extremely hot day (over 100 degrees) and very humid as well. Newer dyno results to come soon when exhaust leak is fixed and the weather cools down a little.
