Geez Charlie, this thing was a fucking mess. Good on you for cleaning it up, I'm sure it feels great to transform the car.

In the market for an E90 M3

You're right Dario, blauzed was a big mess when I got her but I knew this going in. Goes to show what happens when dumbass asshats own a car they clearly can't take good care of which is why I have been documenting the process in this build thread... previous owner bragged to me about how he knew ZHPs and that he had 6 of them previously... clearly he does not know how to properly take care of them otherwise he would not have done what he did to this poor car during his ownership.... idiot...Originally Posted by Avetiso
This car deserves far better care than what she has been exposed to and that is why I got her. With the high mileage she has, I don't feel guilty getting rid of worn or broken parts and installing better quality parts instead... my builds are not based on "how much" as much as they are based on how I want to see my cars after I'm finished... I have done a lot to her this car season and next year I have a feeling I will shift focus to my Audi and get her where I need but fortunately my Audi won't require as much money or resources as blauzed did this year...
I do love fixing up my rides, I mean setting up my rides, though
Good luck on your E90 M3

Sticker courtesy of PDKSTUDIO in Los Angeles, CA. The owner is awesome to work with. When I got my Porsche decals from him I recommended he produce the ///M decals for BMWs... I'm glad he did!

Love the sticker. I take my S54 ZHP for a ride almost every single day during my lunch break as a form of stress relief.

Who knows??? Perhaps someday I might swap out the motor and put in an S54 soul into my ZHP. All depends on the overall condition of my OE motor...I have much more work to do on this worn ZHP before I am satisfied with the overall condition of this car. I am seeing the results of my work though

Well considering you already have an E46 M3, maybe you don't have to!A W E S O M E ! ! ! !

I was fortunate enough to own my old ZHP and my current S54 ZHP at the same time for a short period of time, and I appreciated the separation.
The ZHP in stock form was a much better cruiser/daily driver. The S54 is so visceral.

Perfectly said!
This is why I have both my M3 and ZHP at my garage, although my ZHP has had a very colorful history and is a high mileage >200k ZHP. Not every day someone has two 2004 BMWs in their garage...
