http://98m3.blogspot.com/?view=classic there is the blog where I will put a large majority of the pictures and info. I will be posting a summary of the blog into this thread. Feel free to follow it, chip in ideas, and comment away!

I purchased my 1998 Esotril Blue BMW M3 on June 14, 2012 for $7,500. I had been looking for an M3 since October of 2011 after my first car died (poorly taken care of by the previous owner (duct tape fixes everything) 1988 Audi 80). I freshly graduated high school the next week, and started to fix up the car. I replaced the radiator retaining clips, and the little rubber cups they clip into. I replaced the gas door spring, upper radiator hose that runs from the expansion tank across the radiator and into it, coolant level sensor, oil, and the thermostat. I did those before I decided to start up a project blog, and sadly don't have pictures or anything of the events. Soooo to get started, I bought it at 144,818 miles on it, needing an oil change, and approaching what I believe to be inspection 2 service. The aftermarket parts include: the corner lights, dinan exhaust, dinan mass throttle body, CAI, dinan chip. It was pretty clean when I bought it, and I'm actually the 11th owner of the vehicle. I decided I would start to keep a blog of what all I do to the car, and what my plans are for it!

I live in the seattle area and would love to be able to meet up with more M3 owners, and possibly work on my car with a few of you!
