Detailed: 1995 BMW M3

This is my car. It had been purchased from a one owner who did a pretty job keeping up with it. This was until I started to notice all the little imperfections it had, especially in the sun. I then got the detail bug and ordered some supplies after my semester was complete.

This was my first detail and a lot of learning came from it. I think it came out ok.

Clayed:
Pinnacle’s Ultra Poly Clay

Very nice work!
Looks like you've really got this down now. Nice interior work too.

Great looking M3 you have there! The '99 steering wheel swap makes the interior flow alot better; and its hard to beat Csl's! Again, awesome detail and car! :thumbsup:

The wheels are actually CSL replicas from the E46 CSL M3. Many different companys now make them.

I knew I was in a battle lol. But I used a UDM, oops forgot to post that. Great little machine for beginners.

The seats are so easy to remove takes me less than 8-10 minutes. Leatherique is the way to go. Here's a thread I did on redying my seats. They are still in great shape for being almost a year old. Leatherique before & after pics (lots of pics) - Bimmerforums - The Ultimate BMW Forum

Like Shuskan said they are 18" reps. 19" OEM's would be too big for this car and I'm a poor college student at the moment. But thanks!

Fantastic job! The car looks better than new.

Haha I wish Thank you!

Nice, clean looking e36 M3 :cheers:

My dream car *sigh* thank you!

beginner my ass!

You were some pro detailer reincarnated in some newbie's body! LOL Great job man. So can I ask how long it took? Looks like it took the whole of one day, and finished up the next?

Nice job!Did the owner wash it with brillo pads and spray nine on a regular basis?
