After a 2.5 year stint of selling the the last shop car it was time for something else. The E46m3 has always been a dream, but finding a decent one at an affordable price just isn't possible.
Then @johndoe sale post came up and got me intrigued. It ticked all the boxes in terms of history and that of a perdentantic owner, but I still had resevations and it was higher then what I budgeted for. None the less, after drooling at my pc for a few weeks, the call to Clint was finally made.
The wife and kids thought I was joking and I was up just my normal " OH we buying this car today " antics, and so was I
En route a quick call was made to some friends just to make sure I was doing the wrong thing
Walking into Clints garage and checking the car out was brilliant and his setup was epicn and would easily put most mechanics places to shame. I was still not convinced despite seeing the csl intake in all glory. However, all that changed when we went for drive, and as soon as engine Temps were right, I was exposed to what this car was all about and fell in love. Having driven a Z4M back in 2013 for the 1st time, I knew what to expect, but this was something else. When we got back, all reservations were forgotten and deposit paid.
The thing I loved most of this car, it was not stock. Client took a beautiful car, and added all thr right mechanics to make it epic. That meant half my work was already done.
The car was subsequently collected a week later.
