That is how it started for me, my long lost M3 miss it some times a lot, but it was never really ideal for long drives. As soon as the level 10 was released I thought in my head M3 mod in memory of the beast... onto a oil burning Jaguar x type now and its nice, but after driving one of the new Jaguar XF 3.0 S diesel models I know what car is next on the list when finances allow it..

0-60 6.5 seconds and electronicly restricted to 155, feels great when doing it with the flappy paddle gears... (off topic a bit)

A cousin of mine has a 2009 E92 BMW M3 as well as a 2007 E60 BMW M5. I've driven both several times... and those cars are just purely amazing. What a driving experience!

The case mod is lookin' sweet!

Just another little quick update, a couple more parts arrived during the week,



As you can see I got the CPU block with red mounting plate to match the White red and black theme, also in the above picture is the mounting plates, while these are designed for mounting a pump to the radiator, I will be using them for mounting the radiators.

Another thing I have been playing with is the finish idea, these are a couple of renders of what I would say is the final plan give or take a few tweaks.. also planning to replace as many of the stock screws and bolts with red ones, depends on what I can source really.



This is defo the route I am going down, as I have already said I will be adding a few nit bits but this is the route I am planning for the main side.



The rear I have a cunning plan for and will be kind of like this, except the M power will be replaced with the BMW Mpower logo as on the other side (same as on engine head) and the 3 stripe logo with the M will be going on the top right. The car you see at the bottom left will be airbrushed (hopefully) as seen bellow.



And I have the exact opposite picture of the front of the car that will be etched into the lower window.



As you can see this is the opposite image of the one above (just have to mess with logos) and I will try to place both so they line up (as if car is going through case)..

Hopefully I will get most of the prep done this week for the paint and get the red bolts that I want to use... until next time

Hi all back for another little instalment of my mod project, sorry it has been a while, but I have had some family things to deal with. Anyway more to the point I have got the keyboard, mouse and graphics card cover back.



They have turned out really well, the Varnished finish is showing up superbly and makes the products look a lot better with the white. Let us start with the mouse.




One thing you may notice, is the middle black section is different than the renders (I had them in red) but it was impossible to separate that part of the mouse from the body. But still I think the mouse came out really well, I also like the way it is white, with black and then the red lighted wheel and red DPI indicators.



The keyboard come out too match the mouse, of course with the added M logo to tie in with the case, I wanted a proper matched feel with this project and I think this achieves it.



I like the way the keyboard looks and the finish, I just am hoping the case turns out just as well.




The theme of white black and red is carried on with the card as you can see I think the red white and black theme going through out the mod is a good combination, I think the ATI (now AMD) brand should go down this route.. Here are some more shots of the card.





I love the finished effect on the card (oops I mentioned that already didn’t I ) Ill have another update for you next week, this time it should be the case  as it arrives back from paint. Stay tuned.
