Is it weird or against car culture to not build the car yourself? I myself have mixed feelings toward it but it is a beautiful car, what do you guys think?


I'll give you my personal experience buying an already modified car.

A few years ago I bought a BMW E46 performance package 330i (ZHP). It was very tastefully modded. Full Dinan stage 3 power mods (intake, TB, tune, exhaust), eibachs on Koni yellows, stoptech brakes, CSL wheels, audio upgrades, interior pieces, full Euro lights/side marker set, CF mirrors/splitters/diffuser. The works, and every mod was done properly. It was a beautiful car.





But I sold it a year later. It never felt like my car. Even after redoing the suspension and a couple more mods of my own. It always felt like I was borrowing someone else's car, and I was never able to bond with it. I sold it and haven't looked back since. With all my other cars I went through a period where I wish I didn't sell them. Not this one.

Your mileage may vary, but that's my experience.
