On the car now, '01 E46 M3 18" wheels

Ground Control double adj shocks
Adj sway bars front and rear
Quaife Torque Biasing LSD
Multi point harness bar and harness
Recaro seats

Nice! That's a real love it or hate it body style. Personally I like it. They sure are unique as I only see one in my area. This one looks particularly nice with some of the upgrades. Did the PO trailer his wheels to the track or something? I'd lose the trailer hitch if you're not going to use it....

Yes the hitch is for a trailer to haul race rubber. I'll be keeping it on there because I intend to autocross this car and eventually track it (and I do not have the budget for a full tow vehicle and trailer!).

Kabel,
Looks like fun. I want your seats  . Are those Super Trapp tuned exhaust tips? Interesting. How does it sound?

My wife thanks God every day that I don't have a larger garage.
I'd have an M coupe in it if I had the chance. A little more wild on the track with the motor in the front, but TONS of fun from what I hear.

Huge fan. They're getting pretty cheap here in California... I'd love to have one for blasting down the HWY 1 in... nice work

Sweet Ride regardless of the screwed hood
Sweet ride my friend. I don't like the hood pins but then to each his own. Otherwise as nice an M coupe as I have seen. Many happy miles!

Well it is set up primarily as a race car, and when you see the wheels that should be on there the widebody front might not look so out of place.
Already had it out for autocross last weekend... weeee!
