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.

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...Quote:

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 :thumbsup
Good luck on your E90 M3 :thumbsup

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! :cool

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.Quote:

I am seeing the results of my work though :thumbsup
Love the sticker

The ZHP in stock form was a much better cruiser/daily driver. The S54 is so visceral.

That's what I keep asking him. He could have documented during all the breaks we took lolQuote:
