Questions:
1. Why the M3? Reason for the build.
The first time I rode and drove an E46 M3. it was like love at first sight. From day one, I wanted to be driving an E46 M3. The reason for building the car is accidental, literally. A month after purchasing my car, my car was hit in the driver's door. From that time on, I built the car from ground up. I started with custom paint then went to lowering and then to wheels. One thing led to another and that's where my car stands right now.

2. Plans for the future and where you'd like to see your project progress to.
My future plans with my car would be upgrading my supercharger to Stage 2, do a full audio upgrade (secret stuff), maybe change wheels and paint color, and maybe do a wide body for it, but still a thought. I just want to go fast.

3. Any shout outs that you'd like to post.
My shout out goes to my wife, who was patient enough with me and the car, my parents and sister, Alexie and Bill who were there to help me with everything. Also my sister Valerie and Ral in New York. I especially want to thank Girard De Guzman and his family for their sacrifices and patience, Glenn De Guzman for the time he spent working on my car, the rest of Sagenhaft Crew, Mike N., Rigo, Daniel and Little Johnny Boy. Special thanks to Garageworks, Mike, Lawrence, Ken, Steve, and Mert for the help and everything else you guys did for me. Special thanks to my sponsor VFengineering, Nik and Sean thanks. Thanks to Matt with Umnitza.
