(2) E46 ///M3s from RVA, (2) Radically Different Purposes
This is the first time I've had a formal photo shoot of my car, and funny enough this was anything but a formal shoot. I literally hung out for about 30 minutes and then had to catch my flight back to school. Hats off to Kevin a.k.a. FlimFlamMedia for the shots. Damn impressive.
Cesar and I have been long time friends through many different projects, and although our builds are completely different I feel like the cars definitely play off each other.
What makes these cars more than material possessions are the things that nobody else can simply replicate because they have enough money. There's definitely an intangible piece of each of us in our cars, a reflection of our ourselves. Keep in mind each car is simply a canvas, I don't think one is superior to the other, just a different artist's rendition of my favorite automobile.
Finally, my dyno video. I purchased a street tune from Randy at Epic last week and he tuned my car remotely on Friday. Relevant modifications are Agency Power headers, stock section 1 & 2, and a Rogue El Diablo muffler, stock panel filter, and I'm running a water methanol setup. I didn't tune for the water/meth so that I don't blow my car up if the spray fails. It serves to keep IATs in check on hot summer days at the track so that the car doesn't detune itself for the heat so drastically.

gotta love those BBS. takes a second of looking at them and the car to really find that they belong on there, but they look great for sure. and that blue color will never get old!
