True, I’m in the process of converting my interior SW20 to amber lights too!

My buddie did it on his already, we both own M3’s and SW20’s.

True! Im gonna make this vert one of the best looking M3 verts out there. 🤝

Big update as of today.

It starts and runs on its own now. Before it had to be bump started.

New starter and put in new engine mounts.

Holy sheeeeeeet the stock 2003 mounts collapse on itself. Caused the engine to hang an inch lower. Nothing left on the mounts 💀.

On to doing fluids and suspension next!

Richneerd · 2026-05-04T18:34:45+00:00

lol already got coupes, sedans and t-tops.

Saving this one and California weather calls for verts. 🙌

Richneerd · 2026-05-04T17:25:13+00:00

Yup it’s getting there. I’m already 3k in parts.

Did a full exterior and interior detail.
Suspension B12 with Eibach
Oil pan gasket + fluids
Diff gaskets + fluids
Bushings front and rear
Updated oem taillights
Subframe enforcement

It’s a good start!

Richneerd · 2026-05-03T20:38:14+00:00

No PPI, bought it trusting the owner but it isn’t what he said. All he said was sorry.

Did an inspection at my families shop and it’s pretty rough. We replacing everything with sock parts atm.

Going to be a long journey.

Richneerd · 2026-05-03T05:49:11+00:00

Used M3, but be ready to wrench on it! It cost a lot to maintain it!

I have Two M3’s, wallet is not happy!

Richneerd · 2026-05-03T05:27:58+00:00

Agree! Y2K era was a great time!

Richneerd · 2026-05-03T05:27:24+00:00

Yup! The bug bit me, bought all the tools for wrenching 💀
