Want to update you all on this little project, which has quickly turned into financial folly. So:

- Sold the GTR via Litchfield. Given that I bought it for £43k and sold it for £47k (less Litchfield commission), it's not a bad bit of business. Don't miss it one bit, save for its practicality as a ridiculous piece of kit.

- E92 now has:

Alcon Superkit
Evolve 100 cell cat exhaust with Tubi Rumore backbox
Latest Nitron suspension which will be set up properly
Apex 7 wheels with Cup 2s
CAE shifter
Recaro Pole Positions on sliders
Front splitter on order

Litchfield will map the car to take account of the new exhaust system, plus are replacing whatever bushes or other components need sorting out.

The headline is that having started as what was supposed to be cost-efficient project to build a solid road-going M3 that will be competent at the Ring, I've now spent well over the value of the car in aftermarket goodies.

No pictures as yet as I'm still waiting to pick the car up, but to say that I'm excited is an understatement.

(Still really regret selling the CSL)

Sounds awesome, I love the apex 7's, CAE is a piece of art.

I know that the mantra is "no pics or it didn't happen". So I thought you may be interested to see a pic of my E92 now it's (almost) complete. Ideally, I would fit a half-cage and further uprate the engine, but this project has already sucked out a ton of money and those additions will have to wait til next year.

Planning to take her to the next DN event, if anyone from here is going.

Thanks. It's only a wrap and will no doubt have deteriorated heavily after a couple of track days.

Yes, doing DN15 and 16. Cannot wait.

If you're going to DN15 on 22 July, look out for my mate's red one - it's a bit of a Monster - is 1323kg wet with full GT4 aero .

Wow, that looks good, and serious too (GT4 splitter, full cage, etc). Contemplated red when I had mine wrapped. Your mate's car looks great and will look out for it (although I will ask him why, after spending all that money modding the car, he's having to have his passenger hold up the GoPro instead of buying a mount for it...).
