2) VLTed

https://nfs-tools.blogspot.com/p/downloads.html


How to install:

1) Run Binary

a) Click the icon on the left to launch Binary for users

b) Select "Setup_BMWM3_Binary.end" from this directory

c) Select your NFSMW installation directory

d) Save.

2) Run VltEd

a) File -> Open -> select your NFSMW installation directory

b) File -> Import -> ModScript -> select "Setup_BMWM3_VltEd.nfsms" from this directory

c) Select "Install" option

d) Save.


4) Run the game and create a new save file OR patch your existing save file using the save patcher, included with this mod.

    Y'know, that's such a great work. But I'd like something simple (at least out of Unlimiter).


    I'm looking for a base M3 addon, with the due 5 body kits and the usual rest of generic body parts.

    The body kits in mind are:

    - 1st one you show

    - SHIFT Bumpers Kit 1

    - SHIFT Wide Kit 2

    - Non-ALMS GTR Wide Kit

    - 3rd one you show


    (In this order)
