Hello,
I recently purchased a 99 black M tech with manual transmission at an auction. I have been sourcing parts to replace to refresh the suspension and trimm. I plan to drive the M44 for a while but ultimately want to do a V8 swap.

Did this car have a Patriots sticker on the rear bumper when you got it? __________________

It has been a while since my original post, so I decided to update you guys on my progress. I have replaced the left front fender with a used black one (lucky me) and installed a replica M3 bumper and corner lights. Car still needs paint but I am torn between a cheap option (wrap/plasti dip) or full paint job.
Car will soon have a red hood because I drove it with the hood unlatched and it popped open (at 50mph if anyone wants to test it out) and broke the windshield.
