Good to hear it's just cosmetics. Did the car have airbags? surprised they didn't go off?

It has air bags which didnt go off,not sure why? Im thinking of stripping it out, roll bar in and a few more horses,along with suspension tweaks.What do you guys think.

Welcome to the forum Richard :thumb:

I'm sorry that your introduction to trackdays ended bitterly. Your M3 is stunning and you certainly seemed to be enjoying things pre-bump.

Your query about making the car more focused is something that many of us ask ourselves. Hand on heart, only you know what you want from the car. If it were me, I would probably decide whether it needed to be road legal or not. If not, I would follow Sideways and get the car stripped, decent seats, harnesses and some really good tyres.

I look forward to seeing this phoenix rise from the ashes mate.

Reading Jasons post, I meant follow his car modifying path, not his 20k opinion :D
