[QUOTE="wirelessjunkie, post: 54834, member: 58"] Errrr. I don't think that was how it was. I saw it happen and it was when there was no M3 in Malaysia way back then. The car was built the Alpina/Hartge style i.e. order the lowest spec car and fill her up with the M stuff + tuning. Complete M to the very last bolt. The car was driven by my buddy for years before he settled for a much faster set of wheels. To the owner, it was money well spent as he had his M and a big discount from the real deal as well + loads of fun watching it being built from the shell up. From what I know the car was not left is a "tak jalan" state. The electronics was sorted out using equipment at a friendly workshop as their own MODIC was down. The car was handed over to the owner in a perfect state of tune. In fact, the car was much discussed in the old forum logs (not by the owners or friends of the owners but by people who do not know much about the car nor the owner hence the rumours. Nevertheless, it is a very fast car, much faster than the standard M). If you have seen the car, you can't tell it apart from the real deal except that it has a lot of nice nice stuff on it. Btw, the original owner (a very fast racer) who commissioned the project is not from Penang. The car was recently sold to an enthusiast from Penang. Not in defence of anyone but just to give a true account of the car for the future resale value of the car for the current owner (I have not met him personally but have seen his car sent in for service).
