E91 M3 Build

[ATM]

My mate had a massive set of BBS CH-R wheels on his M3. Correct BBS width and offset for the M3. He paid £2400 for them. 19 inch diameter and 9 inch wide front and 10.5 inch rear. Michelin PSS 255 35 front and 295 30 rear. He only had them on the car for 2 months and then sold it. I bought the wheels in a moment of madness. I've had them sat in my lock for over 18 months. They are way too wide to fit on any of my cars although I have tried. If you're looking for some new wheels then give these a look.

The E46 M3 touring project has been getting all my attention recently and I need to get on and finish the E91 M3 so that it can return to Redish Motorsport for the DCT gearbox to be correctly calibrated and engine fired up.

Over the next week I will be completing the final wiring of the tailgate section in the car to the E90 M3 harness and trying to complete the reinstall of the interior including the E90 M3 seats.

During the summer I finally picked up a idrive dash from a 2013 car and will be collecting an M sport headlining in anthracite shortly.

Here's some more recent pictures of the car looking very OEM.

Really is fab OP.

Just read this from the beginning. Hats off OP for the effort gone into this build. The firm doing the body work clearly have the right skills! All the work on looms and the dash too must be relatively stressful!

Will keep an eye out for future posts and wish you all the best with it.

Sad to see another E91 M3 involved in a nasty bump last week.. Pics were doing the rounds on SM. was in Silverstone by looks of it and possibly supercharged....?

[ATM]

There are not many. If it is the light blue one then it is well known.

commenting for updates, looking nice!

63NP. What's SM?

Unfortunately it's true ;(
Was on the M42, fast lane stopped and so did I but the Lexus and Mercedes Sprinter didn't even brake.
Waiting on insurance (agreed value) to see what I'm gong to do.

These pics make me very very sad. What a dreadful shame.

Commiserations. That said it doesn't look like the hardest of repairs, so hope the outcome is good.

[ManOpener]

Presumably that will depend on whether, and how badly, the boot floor and rear chassis are damaged.
Sad news, always though the converted E91 looked amazing

[RoverP6B]

Given its hand-built rarity value, surely the insurers can't just treat it as any old E9x M3?

[MattHall91]

Such a shame OP. Never ideal these situations, but particularly not when it's a unique piece like this one.

Sorry to hear this OP
