Justin from Big Boss Auto posted an advert on the BMWCCG facebook page last week, he is parting out a clean M3 which is being converted to race car, I was first on the scene and bought a bunch of stuff, including most of the interior.

Rodga, let me know if these work on tapatalk?

Diesel tank cleaned up. Does diesel go bad like petrol? Probably 10lt left inside.

In tune with the sleeper theme, the road wheels got a little adjustment.

View attachment 6

This setup will allow 245 / 255 front rear respectively,  with a flush fit.

Looking really good there Gizmo. I think the dark grey wrap is also a great idea but then I always have been a fan of the Space grey / donnington grey bmw colours

Hey guys, been making progress on the build the last couple days. I sourced a GS6-53BZ gearbox for the build, they are known to hold big power/torque so it shouldn't be a problem throwing some at it. Got the clutch/flywheel combo and all the other related parts. 
I have deleted the ASC pump and lines throughout the car and installed DSC pump and lines (for drive-by-wire). The petrol tank and lines and filler neck were removed and the diesel tank and lines refitted. 
The engine is in the engine bay now, new engine and gearbox mounts from agents in place. Majority of the hardware is installed, now its onto wiring...picture update in a couple days.
