March, 2014

FIRST PLACE * HONORABLE MENTION

UUC's choice for BMW of the Month belongs to Eric Wank and wins a $50 UUC Gift Certificate.



OWNER: Eric Wank from Illinois.
CAR: 1995 BMW M3 in Avus Blue which Eric has owner for almost 6 and a half years.  The car was originally purchased via European delivery.

DETAILS: Engine/Powertrain equipped with M60 MAF, 21.5-lb. injectors, 3.5-inch intake with TRM tune, RMS long tube headers, UUC System U exhaust.

Suspension is on lowering springs and Bilstein Sport Dampers, KMAC adjustable caster/camber plates, Z3 steering rack, with X brace and strut bar.

Exterior includes OEM forged M Double Spoke (Style 24 'LTW') alloy wheels, European-spec ZKW headlights, clear smoked corner and tail lights, larger front lip spoiler, Warsteiner replica rear spoiler.

Inside, you'll find a Sparco Lap 5 wheel, ZHP Shift Knob, and Schroth Quick Fit Harnesses on the OE 'vader' sport seats.

Eric further comments:
"I started dating my Girlfriend of 6+ years the weekend after I picked up this car.  I am by no means a ladies man, however after a night out on the town being piloted by the M3, she said yes and we started 'going steady'.  She even pretended not to notice that I was still learning to drive it (not the best way to woo a girl).  To this day, I still joke that the car is the only reason she is with me. 

Otherwise, it's a great car -  it has over 230k miles! (purchased at 160k).  I've done all the work on it myself with friends and family.  I don't know another car this age that can be this fun and reliable.  I've met many friends because of this car (Bimmerforums, BMWCCA) and my day to day life has changed as it has allowed me to become even more of an enthusiast than I ever would have expected."









Honorable Mention belongs to Andrés Pétur Guðfinnsson.



OWNER
: Andrés Pétur Guðfinnsson. of Iceland.

Year of the car: 1991
Model: BMW 850
Color: Individual Macao Blau

"I have owned it from 2008
Modifications: What I have done to the car is put complete parts from a BWW 850 CSI. That would me a S70 V12 engine, manual transmission. Big brakes, complete respray, 18" Hamann PG1 wheels, Eibach Lowering springs. Bilstein B6 shocks, The car looks like a complete CSI for now and there will be many modifications coming.

Other info: When I was 13 me and my mom were going to Pizza hut and I hear some guys talking really loud. I look back and see tha e31 standing there with 3 very scary guys sitting in it. " of them were drunk as crazy. My moms says: come son, lets get away from those crazy guys.
Few weeks later my mom tells me her old friend from School called her and was coming for a visit.
Later that day I was just playing around and that car drives up to our property and I just think I will **** my pants. 3 scary guys come out of it and ask if my mom (ask for her name) lived here.
I say yes.
Then i turns out those are the friends. The adults go and have fun with BBQ and stuff while I am just hypnotised by the car. It is amazing. After many minutes of admiring I go up to the guy ad tell him: When you are ready to sell call me.
Years fly by and 5 years later he calls my mom. She tells me if I want the car it is for sale. It took me a second to say: Im on my way.
I didnt care about anything. I had a fkn amazing sporty looking car and loved the way it looks, drives and so on.
. I had been working on the car for 4 years when I saw a auction of a crashed CSI in the UK. I decided to bid on it and won. Then for the first time I came to London, bought the car and had it shipped to Poland where my car is. flew to Poland, got the car to the mechanic along with my 850 and said to him to swap it all into my car and paint it.

My future plans for the car are to put a supercharger, modify the suspension and some proper clutch with lightening it."
