New Owner
Tommy parted ways with the car for personal reasons last February. It was sold to Mike Epelev, who's added a subtle stereo in the trunk using McIntosh components. We ran into Mike at Bimmerfest, where he transported it from Chicago for the show. He continues to display the M3 with Europrojektz, so don't be surprised if this boosted M3 comes to your neighbourhood.
