With the car disassembled to pieces in the garage, it would be great to have this under the Christmas tree and assembling it 😁

The engine also received a bit of preventive work; it is amazing that with more than 250K km onboard it is in such a good condition:

On my last trip to Germany, I noticed that Buchloe was on my route. I had to stop for a photoshoot; it was with the wrong car and at the wrong time ( already closed). Next time, hopefully, I will be there with the B3 :D

That's a very serious M3! Great stable mate for the B3. Look forward to seeing more progress on the restoration.
