New family member w long lost M3

My M3 has been down and out with a broken rear diff basically since last October, priorities have kept me from focusing on it but I couldnt take it any longer!

Got a fully built 2.93 40% lockup built, which I installed a few weeks ago. Then the first drive out I went to park it for a wash and the clutch master cylinder exploded

Soooooooo its fixed, shifting and running amazing and feeling mighty fast. Put a bus length on a tuned Sti in one gear today.

Garage is getting demoed and rebuilt tomorrow so the car is living in the lawn to clear space.

A few shots along with our fantastic new family member, Walt Heisenberg Sniscak.

Carnage from the rear end







and fixed. Car is filthy, hasn't been washed in over 6 months









and the pooch, a very well bred Golden Retriever we picked up at 8 weeks old.

The more I see it the more I am falling in love with the e36 M3. Nice car man. Glad you got the diff fixed so you can actually drive it!

Yup he is pretty darned cute, except when he wakes you up at 4am screaming his head off to go out to potty. That.....not so cute.

I like how your definition of filthy = cleaner than 99% of the E36's out there. Mine is unfortunately parked outside, but Techno stays surprisingly clean (apart from the rear bumper).

I'm trying to so hard to not mod this sucker. But I think I'll be needing bigger spacers up front as I think the wheels are rubbing against the coilovers during really really hard turns.

Cute dog btw! I got a lab myself. He's crazy.
