Purchased in early October 2010. It's a 1998 BMW M3 coupe, 99,000 miles, 5 speed, sunroof, dove leather interior with the "Vader" seats, Dinan intake, aluminum radiator, E-code projectors, HID lighting, reprogrammed ECU/software, Supersprint exhaust, upgraded brakes, 2" H&R lowering kit, new Eibach shocks, painted M rims, etc.

Photos...

After purchase - October 2010:

Still some fixes in the works (front lower grille insert, driver side door handle, front lip, etc.). More photos to come when I actually have time lol.

Shades of Gray Tint job on 1/31/11:

Finally got a front lower bumper grille. Pardon the spare and cell phone shot - 4/14:

At my buddies shot removing old tires and adding new ones 4/15/11:

my favorite bmw and the color is perfect. Not too purple but just enough to see. It looks amazing and good luck with building it

Techno Violet.... IMHO best E36 color ever.

PAFirefighter11 · 11-09-2010, 11:06 AM

Thanks all! I wasn't sure on the color at first, but I really like it now!

Get her detailed man....

And how would you like to trade for a heated comfort steering wheel ;)

Thanks guys! VR: No time! lol. I'm in the middle of selling my Silverado and moving to Manayunk, not to mention work full time and school! I'm going to give 'er a good wax before winter hits, though. Gotta find my DA buffer and my other tools from my detailer days down in my basement.

Added some tint shots

My favorite color, wish I could have found a clean one in that color when I bought my Arctic Silver M3

Thanks! I'm not a big fan of purple, but I love this color. I have never seen this color in the past 'til my landlord pulled into my driveway with it (He's a used car dealer). I HAD to have it - the rest is history. I do enjoy the Artic Silver, though, so good choice on that!

Finally installed a front lower bumper grille. Completely changes the look of the car. I really like the stock wheel I am borrowing as a spare too. Debating if I should trade my set for a set of the stock color wheels...

Drove it around West Chester today and was surprised at how many looks this car gets. Maybe it's the mis-matched wheel?
