edwinbong Detailed: 2001 BMW E46 M3 Laguna Seca Blue

This is one of my all time favorite colors for the E46. This thing is a beast!! Built ESS supercharged track duty/race and show car for Platte Forme a.g. Not to mention placing 1st Place Limited FR @ Super Lap Battle Finale 2010. On top of that this car was featured in Super Street magazine. Toan most definitely knows his stuff from the ground up. The detail was a prep done for Bimmerfest. At first glance, the car looked pretty decent since it doesnt see much daily action, but what it lacks daily is definitely made up for on the track. So the car was pretty hammered, and also there were leftover residue/remains from decals and graphics.

Also heres a video for your enjoyment.

Thanks, his seats are pretty much race purpose. His driver seat is a full bucket with energy absorbing head restraint.

Thanks! Once the previous wax and fillers came off, all the defects were present.

Thanks! This actually took longer than I had anticipated, I would have to say about 12+ hours went into this detail.
