About €8-10K for a full repaint.

We waited approx. 1 month after the repaint job before PPF'ing the car. First we sanded the car and polished everything!

Wow! I'm in love with everything about this car!

Now THIS, is a track build. Show and go in equal parts, everything as it should be. Congrats, killer car!

I had the opportunity to examine the Alpha N fenders at VIR two weeks ago on a Hockenheim silver M2C, decked with all the M Perf CF parts (roof, hood, trunk etc). Quality product. The owner said that it took some creativity to rebalance the car grip wise front to rear after taking so much weight away from the back. He had fabricated some longer sway bar ends to soften it, plus corner balance, shock adjustment and alignment. He was running 2:01 there which is a very fast time indeed...

Once again well done OP!

neemo.f22 · 04-09-2021, 06:54 PM

Stunning build! Attention to detail and no short cuts!!

///M2_MA · 04-09-2021, 06:55 PM

Sick car. Let me know if you visit Hockenheim in the future!

Taco_Bueno · 04-09-2021, 06:56 PM

This thread should be stickied in the news section.

Beyond tasteful in every aspect. Absolute stunner. Congrats OP

DaFish · 04-09-2021, 07:54 PM

Wow, I absolutely love everything.... except the wheels.... I'm sure they are top quality, but I'd prefer something different

That is the only complaint!

FreeDarko · 04-09-2021, 07:57 PM

This is honestly the best balance between track and aesthetics I've seen on a build in very long time.

Congrats OP

Btw any pics of the interior?

2011ninja · 04-09-2021, 07:58 PM

Outstanding!

Green all day!!!!!!

stulio2181 · 04-09-2021, 08:52 PM

Beautiful color! And impressive build. Congrats!

symalik84 · 04-09-2021, 09:01 PM

Amazing color choice!!!

KevinC · 04-09-2021, 09:14 PM

Those sexy BBS wheels are causing a tightness in my pants.

kart driver · 04-10-2021, 12:23 AM

Incredible job done!

The more I look at it, the more I think of following a simpler root of putting some green wrap like this guy did.

slicer · 04-10-2021, 12:59 AM

Sweet build!

oak green metallic has always been one of my favorite colors. very nice build.

slalomfever · 04-10-2021, 11:54 AM

CONGRATS on a very impressive build!

mckman · 04-10-2021, 12:02 PM

Interesting history, especially coming from a 1M.

Love this build overall. Oak Green Metallic is an inspired choice. The pic low down of the back end in the paint booth really shows off the wide hips.

Also digging that scissors lift in the paint booth too!

Not to take anything away from your work here, but earlier this week I just watched this video of another F87 track build

Awesome, I feel like we didn't see enough green's out there on M cars before. I think with the arrival of the G8X that will change dramatically. Still, you've done your bit to make green great again

mrm3too · 04-10-2021, 04:25 PM

Incredible build, doesn't look like a single corner was cut. Love the color.

AYYY F80 · 04-10-2021, 04:57 PM

Wow, love the color and what you have done to the car!

You're certainly an excellent photographer, nice work.
