I picked this car up about 6 months ago to turn from a really great street car into a REALLY fun track toy. I am by no means a competitive racer, and I'm even less committed at keeping up with build threads... You've been warned.
If you've been online for a while you might've seen this car on Built for Backroads... Ironically, the car is somewhat 'related' to my E91, shown in the last photo. That car can be viewed at the link below:

Anyway, I saw all of the great threads of everyone detailing their builds, and figured I'd do the same. I'm just getting started so feel free to read along.
