Andre Klebleyev grew up loving the famous Need For Speed video game series, particularly Need for Speed Most Wanted, which featured an E46 M3 as the cover car. When he picked up his 2001 BMW M3 GTR, he almost sold it right away to make some money after picking it up for such a low price, but he just couldn't let go of the car. Klebleyev decided instead to build the 'Need for Speed' M3 of his dreams.
