BMW M3
Added on July 10 by Giant Purple Snorklewacker

This is my rat rod with sticker delete 98 M3. It started as my daily-driver in ‘02 and ended up like this… 8 point custom TIG welded cage, full race suspension… 2760 lbs wet with 1/2 tank on the gauge.

In 6yrs it has never missed a run session or time trial for a mechanical (not that nothing ever went wrong… just nothing that couldn’t be fixed in 20 min).

beautiful car… I wish I could afford an M3 for a “rat rod” :P

Beautiful car - specs on the tires? Any rolling/stretching necessary in the back?

With that much neg. camber and low ride height I need spacers up front and the rears are rolled to run the preferred 245/40-17 on an 8.5” wheel. The tires that are on the car in the pic are only 235/40 Toyo R-888s - which is what I run for track days and instructing because they are pretty long lived and forgiving.
