Also put on a new bumper, but I dont have any good before pics, so just take my word for it...it was bad.

Only a few more minor things to do and it will be perfect!

[Philip]

Wow! I seriously need to do whatever you did to your paint leather.
Looks great!

[Rockabilly_rebel513]

Did You replaxce the Seats or just rejuvenate them?

[EnderM3]

Seats were reconditioned. and Phillip, if you want the guys number just ask me or mitch. This guy matched the paint PERFECTLY too!

[EnderM3]

sweet 55w HID fogs are in as well :D, and look how nice the paint matches!

Looks really good Danny. I have some scratches and rock chips that need attention.

[88e28]

Sweeet looking Danny.

[Trout]

Amazing work. That guy needs some props for doing all of that. The most amazing thing is how quickly it was all done.

[BMRSEB]

Well, what's this person's contact info? :)

[MachSchnell]

Looks great!!!

[dinanm3atl]

IIRC 95 M3's were the last year of the oil based paint from BMW. So an Avus with some elbow grease turns out very nice!

You are correct sir. OBD2 cars have orange peel paint.

pfft..elbow grease my ass, power buffer FTW!

Cant wait to get the rest of the car all buffed out, its gonna be sick.

[Marshall]

The cars looks great, but I thought it looked great last time I saw it at GTE. Was the work on the seats expensive, they looked just like mine.

[McLovin]

Dude that car looks sick, who did the paint repairs for you? That guys is damn good. Looks like Club Bimmer could keep him busy for a while. I need some stuff dome too.

[Mitch]

Car looks beautiful Dan! Thanks for sharing the pics!

I got permission to post his contact informantion!

Jim Grosshans is the master that does the interior, paint repairs and other repairs. His phone # is 404-271-1638.

Call him, you might need to leave a vmail, he is VERY busy.

FYI -This is the guy that the local Lamborghini/Lotus/BMW dealer calls to do ALL paint repairs on their cars. Jim was working on a 07 Lamborghini Murcielago when I was talking to him this morning. He is a master at paint color matching.

[EnderM3]

Pricing really depends on how much you want him to do. I really cant say what the exact prices are, just give him a call Im sure he will be happy to give you a quote. I would say around $75 to do a bolster and up to 2-300 per full seat, off hte top of my head

On a side note, I had another guy offer to buy my car at a stop light last night:lol:

And you told me NO again.

[EnderM3]

uh, duh.

Unless they plop down $20k in cash I dont see this thing leaving my garage.

[Philip]

You've got to be kidding me? If you turned down a $12k offer you'd be dumb. If you turned down a $15k offer you'd be downright retarded.
I almost sold mine for $13k last week to one our salesman. He wound up buying a new 528i instead. :confused1:

[EnderM3]

12k can go screw themselves, I might entertain an offer of 15k though, but I doubt it.

Its the car Ive always wanted, and now I have it. I RULE!

Plus you try finding another avus on black thats this nice!

[Mitch]

You are both right. You can find $12k M3s all day long, HOWEVER with as much time and money that Dan has invested in that car, I don't blame him at all for not selling at $15k. I totally understand.

[EnderM3]

yeah good luck finding any M3 where you can say the only thing wrong with it is the airbag light is on and the glove box sags....and thats IT.

I totally fixed my glovebox for $9. It took less than an hour to do.
You busy Friday?

[EnderM3]

you talking about the screw method? If so i dont want to do that. There is some other way that invovles widing a mounting hole I want to try. I just havnt gotten around to it.

Drop me a PM

Nope and nope.
Gorilla glue and about 25 binder clips. It's rock-solid and looks good as new. It even feels solid when you close it. :luxhello:

[EnderM3]

oooo is it still removeable though?

[Philip]

Why would you want to remove your glovebox?

[EnderM3]

to get to the XM bits I have stuffed on the side and behind it should I have to.

[Philip]

Oooooohhh..
Well, I don't see how it would affect that at all. I just glued the 2 layers of the glovebox lid together and clamped them overnight.

[EnderM3]

ahhh, well then yes I will try that. You just mean the inner and outer part of the lid right? If its that easy I will do it tonight.

[Philip]

It was pretty easy.

[dinanm3atl]

Geesh

Try PM's guys ;)

There are plenty of nice M3's out there I can assure you of that. You just have to look. Don't look on bf.c and forums. Look elsewhere. They pop up and are all over. They sold soooo many there are plenty that are clean and in good shape.

If you did sell for 15K you could easily buy one off the forums in good shape for less and walk away with cash.

Mine is for sale for 25,000 if anyone ever asks. If someone offered 20 SOLD immediately. Perfect starter car for an Alpharetta teen :)

[EnderM3]

your missing the point, I wanted an avus on black, and I have it. Yes I can get a nice 95 for 12k or less all day long, but it wont be avus on black, and it wont be anywhere near as nice as mine.

So you want it, your gonna have to pay!

Dude, there are less avus/black 95's than avus/dove, but either color combo is far from rare. If you wanted to find another one you totally could.

[dinanm3atl]

I killed a rarer car :)

Alpine w/ Mulberry - I stripped it and tore everything out haha

I also due to thrashing it around on track tore a hole in the front driver door panel where the shoulder bolster meets the door panel.

Whoops :)

LOL whoops indeed.
Gah, I love Alpine/Mulberry E36's. Also, Cosmos/Magma is pure sex.

[dinanm3atl]

Meh

Who cares. There are more e36 M3's

I am kind of getting bored with it. Just sits mostly and I can't work out the misfire after the Barber HPDE. Maybe pull the motor and play with it :mf_popcorn:

I'm totally down to help you rebuild. (I do still get a pretty handsome discount on BMW parts, you know)

[dinanm3atl]

Prolly gonna do it this winter and put it in all dirty style hah

I think I might have slightly damaged the HG and it only comes out to be a problem when it is VERY VERY VERY hot and I am really pushing the car.

Doesn't happen under load though. Right now I simply don't car. I still drive it around and it works fine :) A small misfire on a NA car... Meh. Not too bad!
