Nextel's Imola Sedan ZHP thread (another imola sedan?)

[RUS_ZHP]

Those pictures are awesome as well as the car.
To be honest, I am not sure if I like your new wheels. I am thinking that 359 style would look good, but they are probably expensive and hard to find. Also, 216 should look great.
Just my .02 cents

right now its just something different, things could change.....

i really want the ZCP CSL wheels but they are 19s. i wish there was a replica of the wheel that was exactly like them but in 18s but no wheel i can find is a perfect clone in size and offset and design.

That works.

Finally got my fire extinguisher holder. Since the extinguisher is from the newer BMWs the 4 series... The mounting holes on the holder are just a tad closer together than the e46 extinguisher brackets I mounted under the seats already. That wasn't going to stop me from getting the cool thing installed.


I used some L brackets I had laying around, straighten them out, threaded them and then ended up making tiny bracket extenders 2 bolt this F-series holder. It pretty much came out perfect which I was afraid it was not. I was going to just try to sell this one and get the right one but it fits so well with the new brackets I made. Kind of patting myself on the back on this one

Hopefully these pictures show up I'm using Tapatalk.

love the 219's, shawn! i just wish you had more tire on there... they look a bit cartoonish with so little tire. in my opinion.

really digging those seat covers, too - i may order some of those in black, the grain will likely match my rear seat better anyway.

[nextelbuddy]

m using the same tires and they are thinner than the 18x10 arc8s lol but i guess because of the LIP profil on OEm wheels it gives that appearance.


in all honesty I will probably just get another set of Bronze Arc 8s. I miss them and they looked so good. i never realized how much I loved them until i didnt have them anymore.

i may take the time to just get a square set of Arc 8.... 18x9.5 et35 all around with a 10mm spacer in the rear this time and go for a 255/35 tire out back.

[nextelbuddy]

ok lots of updates not sure where to start.

first on the Wheel front... everyone loves my indecisive on wheels......

the 219M are beautiful but not for me. i placed an order for the Apex group buy and got another set of Arc 8 hyper black in 18x9.5 et35 and 18x10 et25 with metal valve stems and updated oem BMW center caps.... I figured with the up coming M3 fender conversion I could finally run proper tires and get rid of the stretch...

THEN i found a pretty good deal on a set of mint oem ZCP wheels with tires. they were $1800 shipped which is a lot but getting harder to come buy and im seeing less than perfect sets go for $2400 from m3 people which are driving up the value so I jumped on this set as asap.

i will be selling the arc 8s when they come in for what I have in them later.


I have been sourcing a lot of the m3 conversion parts....

saturday Im going to my m3 parts car to cut out the following:

both rear 1/4 panels including the inner wheel well tubs
rear trunk floor pan

I finally found a great body/metal person locally who is handling my rear fender conversion. we went over pictures, ive seen their work on other cars so i feel really confident.

They are even going to graft part of the metal fenders onto the rear doors like its supposed to be.

Front fenders i got a partial sponorship from 2M_Autowerks for their FRP Sedan m3 fenders. body shop will handle sanding/blocking them properly and any fitment issues that arise near the A pillar and door areas.


I have already sourced:

both front complete bixenon AL m3 headlights in mint condition
OEM Aluminum M3 hood
brand new CSL style ECS tuning front bumper with CF canards
used E46 m3 rear bumper with PDC sensors and rear lower diffuser/valence
front and rear Kevlar bumper supports
2M autowerks sedan M3 fenders
m3 fender liners
oem M3 full exhaust and muffler


Car goes into the shop April 9th to begin the transformation and before that i will be selling off front end parts and rear bumper/valence and exhaust stuff as well so i can have the front end assembled and the rear bumper installed for the body person to have the rear bumper in place to line up the rear fenders.


busy year so far.

i can't wait to have an Imola Red Fully m3 converted sedan top to bottom.

Damn. That is so sick. Can’t wait to see the results.

Even better, this project belongs to somebody we can trust to take plenty of good pictures of it!!
