Let's start off easy with just a regular E92.

So how about the car? It was obviously babied! I took one piece of clay bar and hit everything with it. Scroll down and there's a picture of what one side looked like when I was done. I was pretty amazed! Everything was very clean about this car except the swirls which black cars are cursed with.

clean clay!







See? Not too bad at all!

 

After polish, I realized this car had some awful orange peel... BMWs these days... sigh...





I got bored.





Engine bay wasn't very dirty to begin with, so I cheated.. kind of.

After LSP

 

Enjoy! I apologize for some of the blurry pictures. San Francisco isn't friendly with the lighting, and I need to get myself a tripod some time.

 

Now the one with a twist...

There are no before pictures since it was pretty clean anyway. Let's just start with the heavy stuff!






Man, this dude washes his cars with rocks!



This is a pretty nasty scuff that he got just out of nowhere. I'll update this one later!

 

So what's so special about his E92? Take a look at THIS!

edit: this is actually a 335i and not an M3. the widebody is custom



and he is ready to start!


passed with SIP and 106FF




after one pass of SIP


update on the previous scuff



Engine bay after clean up. No dressing. I'll get some eventually...

After LSP

 

Sorry, but I forgot to tell him to take some pictures of the rear too. Enjoy!

 

Both great machines and great results. Not a fan of taking a car and badging it as something else. The 335 is something to be proud of, not masked as something bigger and better. Really not a fan of the green mirrors either, just my opinion though. Good work.

 

the intention was to build a widebody 3 series with turbos and not an M3. he has a lot of people fooled.... especially with OEM parts... but he doesn't mean to be a poser
