I'm thinking of either wrapping mine in gloss black or going w/ the IND carbon fiber side mirrors.

You know, it's funny you mention that. When I saw a white 3 series with black mirrors recently I thought the same thing. For some reason, the gloss black mirrors on the 3 really seems to stand out in a not so complimenting manner. The CF mirrors seem to fit well on the M3/4 (subjectively). I think the shape, along with the CF roof allows them to tie in better?
Oh and it is AW

He is growing up so quickly! Though sometimes it is hard to tell if it's him growing so quickly, or me aging.
As for cleaning products, along with the power washer I tried out this Armor All wash/wax. Seemed to have worked fairly well. I know there are much better things out there, but I just do the best with what I have.

i use menzerna power lock sealant (2 coats 12 hours apart) and menzerna canauba wax one coat. it makes the car so smooth and it lasts for months as well to avoid elbow grease often

Here is the link, though you might be able to keep/sell some pieces depending on what all you will utilize.
Since I have full leather, I did not utilize the door trim pieces as mine are already leather, so I ordered for the 4 series.
You can contact Jason at gethelp@getbmwparts.com and he will take care of you.

Its a toss up for me between white/baby blue/dark grey

mxa121 · 05-10-2015, 03:39 PM

Such a beautiful setup. Classic BMW M if you ask me.

Alpine/Black M3 = WIN

BMV///M3 · 05-10-2015, 06:37 PM

A thing of beauty.

How do you like the KW's? Compared to stock ride? Does the rear set too low on any of the settings? It doesn't look like it from your pictures, looking good.

MJones3 · 05-10-2015, 09:20 PM

Very nice! I really like the alcantara trim

I have the M performance mats as well... drivers side doesn't fit like a glove.

Probably a combination of both.

A few more

Love the M Performance trim. Looks GREAT!

Chris - your M3 looks very sharp. I like your choice in OEM + mods. Hope to see it around in Michigan.

JB.M. · 05-12-2015, 10:30 PM

Looks great, how do you like the cf mirrors?

Lalit@autocouture · 05-13-2015, 09:03 AM

Very nice

Porsha · 05-13-2015, 09:06 AM

Beautiful.

Is the Alcantara trim piece on the dash extended anywhere else or is it simply the dash piece?

Powerbeast · 05-13-2015, 01:00 PM

BMW Performance add ons look great man.

It is a full part in terms of the dash. The textured CF carries over to the side vents, and centre piece. Because I have full leather, I did not utilize the door trim pieces.

I really love how they aesthetically fit in with the roof and rear/front diffuser/splitters. Visually, I can not leave things alone until I see congruency overall.

Actually, I have the door handles still. I'd be happy to send them to anyone that requests free of charge.
Let me know,
