That was a temporary number. We picked up the 0001 number when the new series was on auction.

Great pics of Brilliant cars, thanks for sharing

Yes it does bro. 155 mph or ~ 250 km/ph. A simple ECU tune and swap of tires should fix that.

Why the tires? Are they underated for the mods that you plan?

I haven't yet checked the speed index for the stock tires , but since the speed limiter would be removed and the car would be pushing an extra ~30 RWHP , I would keep my eyes set on the Pirelli P Zero's. They never go wrong.

. In addition to the fact that I will be changing the rims as well and they too would need a new set of rubber.

Better pictures up next with the LP.

Explains well

Do post some nice interior shots too :-)

So many mods with a brand new car? I guess this one was the one you were waiting for all along. Never could do much with the Lambo, Bentley, Rolls or Porsche? So you're doing all that with the bimmer

Please do post pictures of the RR when it comes back and the other cars as well.

ecksreturns · 22nd April 2009, 17:18

Final batch of pictures every one! Please enjoy these pics and give me your feed back.

EDIT - Can't post a real nice picture , sadly , it is a little too big for these servers , even after Jpeg'ing it.

Rehaan · 22nd April 2009, 17:31

Congrats ecksreturns!

The picture of the M3 and the Murci is just awesome.

Whooo hooo ! Words cannot express how I feel, really, and neither would any words be able to do justice to those pics, never mind the cars themselves. Especially the pics of the cars side by side. In Russell Peters' words, that is simply "mindblasting", not just mindblowing

Congrats KD, you certainly have great choice buddy. PM me if you're ever in Mumbai mate.

Congratulations. Lovely collection. Latest addition is the icing on the cake. Nice way to "commute" daily.

Love the shifter, looks beautiful ! And the V8 soundtrack is PURE muscle. Stupid question, whats the audio pack you opted for? Logic 7? or the Bose? The speakers placed around look acoustically done, hence i asked. GREAT choice of exhaust. Heard it in london, and it set even my old not-into-cars mother's pulse racing.
Now the next time you opening your piggy bank, just build a track close by

Guess we can expect your car to look and sound something like this soon

YouTube - BMW M3 E92 hartgane exhaust system starting up revving

Amazing Pics Karan

Please tell what that car is at the back of the M3 in the pics your posted last evening.

theragingbull · 22nd April 2009, 18:39

wow! congrats on that M3! Looks nice with the black kidney grills.The Bimmer's interior is the place to be in.Very nice! the pic of the murci together with the M3 only invokes envy!

Thanks for sharing the pictures.

syedhafeez · 22nd April 2009, 18:40

@ abhinav - U mean the car in the background seen in the pic of the M3 with the xenon lights ?
I think it is the Porsche 997 coupe. Is it ?

Yes , it is the 911 coupe. And did none of you notice that I changed the chrome M3 on the back with a matte black one?

Also , I just came back from a short , spirited drive . Amazing car it is. I cruised around for a while and then just punched the M button (which has my custom settings for throttle response and suspension) and drove around fast while keeping the RPM in check. While the exhaust sounds muted as best , but is still a kicking beat! Can't wait to hear it at 8400 RPM.
