cakM3 (Charlie) and Busabos77 (Brian) DOUBLE TROUBLE PHOTOSHOOT E46 M3 CONTENT

[cakM3]

Weather was great on Sunday! My friend Brian and I decided to go and take photos of our cars. Enjoy!

Charlie on Apex ARC8s
18x9.5 and 18x10.5
245/40 and 275/35

Brian on CCW D11Ls
18x10 and 18x11.5
245/35 and 285/30

Both cars are 2004 ///M's in TiAg...they both started out with grey nappa leather interior. Brian retrofitted his in Imola Red interior whereas I retrofitted mine in classic Black interior. Since I started out from Brian's place so here are pics beginning from there :thumbsup Brian's ///M has the CSL front bumper mounted and CCW wheels.

We went over to a local high school near where Brian lived to take these pics...

Anyway just wanted to share some ///M porn with everyone! Hope you guys/gals enjoyed the show...not everyday you see "twins" doing a photoshoot :thumbsup :biggrin

[WOLFN8TR]

Pure Perfection !!!

[fredo]

Good job, Charlie ! I like the ones with the M3's reflection on water. :thumbsup

[Avetiso]

Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks everyone!

[PirateZHP]

Great pics, Charlie!

[cakM3]

Great pics, Charlie!

Thanks Matt! You guys/gals know....funny thing is that between both cars, there's 100,000 miles difference. In other words, my ///M has 100k miles more on it over my friend Brian's. Looking at these pictures, you wouldn't know that...:thumbsup

[Pip]

Charlie are your wheels 18s? They look great! My 19s look awesome, but I've been thinking about have more meat on the wheel recently. That will have to wait since I have a couple years worth of meat on the current tires.

[cakM3]

Sean,

Both cars are set up using 18" wheels. Mine are Apex ARC8s with:

18x9.5 and 18x10.5
245/40 and 275/35 Hankook Ventus V12's.

My friend Brian is running on CCW D11Ls
18x10 and 18x11.5
245/35 and 285/30 Hankook Ventus V12's.


With the ground being so hard due to winter, I'll be running on my ARC8s until sometime in May and then switch over to my 19" BBS CH wheels. The 18's with more meat provide a much more comfortable ride over the 19's however, I like the look the 19's provide better...:)

[3ZHPGUY]

Looks great Charlie

[johnrando]

Awesome.

[cakM3]

Looks great Charlie


Awesome.

Can't wait till spring guys when I can take the ///M out full time...today I was really tempted to take the ///M to work but it's still way too early for that...

[JKO_ZHP]

The shots make it look almost silver grey

Seriously though, both cars are sexy as hell... Very nicely done and the photos are gorgeous. I'd like to +1 on the reflection shots. That's pretty sick... :drool

That's because you're the Mafia Boss! :)

[illirep]

Awesome. Is your buddy going to keep the m now? I saw it for sale on e46f.

[cakM3]

Yeah Bill. He decided to keep it. He will be doing the SMG to 6MT conversion on it soon. He told me he was keeping his ///M now. I'm glad he's keeping it :)

I might be going with BMW Performance seats based on what Brian recently told me but right now I have a few projects to finish before thinking about them.....
