Welcome and what impeccable taste you have! You also might want to check out webdunks fantastic efforts recently in forming the M3 GT Register (http://www.m3gtregister.com) and make contact with him through the site to register your car on there. So how long have you had the GT, mileage, and mods etc etc! Oola |

The car is already on the GT register and have spoken to Duncan by email. Not had the GT long only 3 or 4 weeks, and loving it . just cant undestand why i didn't buy an M3 years ago! This is my first BMW and very pleased with it. It's covered 113k now with a full service history, mods are subtile as in induction kit, chippeduk chip and uprated brakes ( all down to the previous owner ). Has a few niggle bits that need sorting like stone chips that have gone alittle too far and also the brake lights have a mind of their own ( down to a micro switch me thinks ), and a couple of other bits and bobs which i'm slowly working my way through.

Fantastic cars arn't they! This is my 2nd E36 M3, I owned one about 8 years ago and the GT is a much better car in every way. I also have the chipped UK chip and an induction kit and recently uprated the brakes. As you say, it takes time with all the little niggles but is satisfying. In 6 months I've had quite a bit of work done and have just booked it in for KW Variant 3 suspension upgrade later in the month. £££ Thank you Egg Credit Card! |

Nice! I've been looking at the GT for a few months now. A chap near my work has a GT2, well it has the GT spoilers and is in that darker red colour. Looks more aggressive than the usual E36 M3. Much prefer the BRG though. Well done! |

I love the GT, i know the colours not everyones taste but when they are blinging they do look nice, and the amount of people that will turn and watch the car as you go by is amazing! I do think they look aggersive and certainly have a different look. |

I'm taking my bumper to bits next week so that I can sort out the splitter. Really pump up the aggression factor |

You may need a few new pieces on the spoiler once you have stripped it down. The pins and springs holding it in place on mine were seized and some broke .... its in a prime location for rust and grime to get into it, so I am replacing all mine so it can be adjusted when I want. I will warn you, when fully extended, it sticks out the front of the car by 6 inches or so, full on touring car stylee but driving around with it fully out might end up with the whole front end being ripped off the car! Does look good though!! |

Yep! I had a look on realoem and got them from there. 51112268679 x 4 51112268681 x 8 51112268682 x 4 07119964608 x 6 51112268680 x 2 07119931698 x 2 07119936436 x 2 I should be getting these parts tomorrow so will double check that all is ok and its exactly what I need. I know some of the pins are still ok, but they are quite corroded so may as well be replaced.
