Dream car bucket list
BMW E46 M3
Every build is a step toward the next one. The E46 M3 is where it really starts — somewhat attainable, completely worth it. Follow the journey to see how we get there.

I'm building my dream cars to OEM+ standard, one at a time — starting with a broken Mini Cooper S, no experience, and a camera. Further in than I expected, still figuring it out — filming every bit of it, and working my way toward my dream car and dream garage hub.
How hard can it be? Harder than I expected. But that's never stopped me.
