My E30 M3 stolen thanksgiving morning

[Eric]

yep that's right, it's gone... here is the story

on Wednsday my friend and I had a set of 2 sets of wheels and tires mounted and balanced. I washed the car REAL well (better than normal) and mounted the rims on the car.

We dork around all day doing random earronds around town, including picking up his camera to take some pictures. we go back to my house where my landlord happens to be home. Since he is a professional photographer, he offered to take some real pictures of the car.


We go over to a spot in downtown fresno, and take pictures until after sunset. I haven't seen the pictures yet since he had to tend to the fam and thanksgiving readyness, but I think they turned out awsome.

anyways after that, we cruise around a bit, then end up at a friends house for a few hour's. After his family kicks us out (has younger sisters) all of us go to another friends house, and just BS till around 1:00am.

From there I drop my friend off, go home and crash.

In the morning, I get ready to leave for sacramento to visit family for thanksgiving. My Mother and grandmother were to pick me up where I would drive them up to sacramento.

I walk out to wait for them at around 8:30 and see that the M3 is not parked in the driveway like normal

WTF!

in about an hour a CHP officer shows up and makes a police report. He says that since the car seams to be rare, in his opinion, it's probably already stripped:sosad:







SO I've already started searching ebay and autotrader and such, but if anybody see's a silver M3 for sale, or any parts that seam a bit fishy, please please let me know so I can contact the authorities.

Also please get the word out so the car is less likely to disapear.

here are some pictures so they are a few months old, but the car was in the same state of apperance when I left it. I'll get pictures up of the photo shoot soon.






Here is a list of mods that were on the car when I last had it.

Suspension:
Ground control suspension (400/600lb springs)
bilstein shocks
GC rear shock mount towers
GC camber plates
sparco front strut brace
SBI rear strut brace

powdercoated silver 4-point roll bar
Red recaro SRD style seats
Fitipaldi stearing wheel
AC schnitzer pedals

custom center console switch pannel

Exterior:
EVO III rear wing
DTM rear flipper (the big one)
E36 M3 LTW front carbon fiber splitter (pretty jacked up)
tinted windows on all windows minus windshield
95 E36 M3 20 spoke "motorsport" wheels

stickers on the car to help possibly identify it:

ICE:

There is probably other stuff on the car, but that is all I can think of off the cuff.

damn, im speechless. What a rotten world.

That car was as sweet as it gets.

[the afro guy]

that car stands out like something that i probably shouldn't say on a public forum. if it does go up for sale jump immediately. and post whore this on every forum you know of, i'm sure the mods will let you leave it on them for a while.

that is a really really aweosme looking/sounding/nad i'd imagine driving car. so sorry to hear of something like that going bye byes.

hope it works out well for you

[alen]

damn that really sucks. best of luck getting it back [untouched].

[m3jasper]

amazing car...I'm really sorry to hear that. A good buddy of mine is looking for one here on the east coast, if I see anything I'll let u know.

[ithrowcraze]

that sucks! sorry to hear, thats one of the cleanest E30 M3s ive seen. you should post this on every bmw board you know, since they obviously knew what it was, it wasnt just some civic.

Best of luck in finding it!

[BMWhartgeM3]

It had the stock exhuast and stock airbox on it since I was trying to pass the smog referee

If I had the equipment on that is usually installed, I would have for sure woken up to the noise
