Parky's BSM M3 with BMW Performance Parts, ESS Tune, and more!

parky1215 · 02-27-2015, 10:26 AM

I have been installing few pieces here and there over last few month.
If you didn't see it already, here is original build thread showing my car from the beginning.
http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1021412

Early this week, I went to EAS to get BMW Performance front lip, ESS E-Tornic, and aFe drop-in dry filter installed.
I also installed following parts over past few month (not updated in my original post).
- IND front kidney grill with painted tri-color stripe
- RKP carbon fiber diffuser
- Xpel Ultimate clearbra (front bumper only)

Photos
My car is in EAS getting ESS E-Tronic and aFe drop-in dry filter installed.
This is my first piggy back tune but I am very impressed with it.
It really improved somewhat lacking low-mid rpm power.
As for drop-in filter, I haven't noticed big sound difference between this and stock with charcoal filter removed.

BMW Performance front lip installed.
You can see position of engine oil cooler from this shot.

Everything is installed!

I really like this shot showing new front bumper shape. It makes side shot of the car look much more aggressive and balanced.

I already scraped BMW performance lip one day after the install

I don't think I can handle going it even lower and hear more of that heartbreaking scraping noise.

luvmybluesbb · 02-27-2015, 10:38 AM

Car looks great!! Like that front lip, but the driveway at my workplace is preventing me from getting it lol

Hostrander · 02-27-2015, 11:00 AM

Is the filter something you can do yourself?

Brosef · 02-27-2015, 11:00 AM

looking good Parky. keeping it real clean

Hostrander · 02-27-2015, 11:04 AM

By the way good thing you're in Cali...that's the same look I'm going for

supremepower · 02-27-2015, 11:37 AM

Nice Parky! Haven't seen any updates on your car in a while lol. How are you like the E-Tronic & anymore mods coming?

If my car was that clean for even seconds, I would be so damn happy.

Looking good Parky, for both of us. No scrapes here, so in four months you must be prepared to gimme coffee.

Blindside_137 · 02-27-2015, 11:40 AM

Definitely much better front shot! Looks fantastic.

I just tried torque map. While It has more power, I feel like there is slight lag before that power comes. I think I will stick with normal tune for daily driving.
BTW, map switching kinda confused me because Roman mentioned normal tune as stage 1 and torque tune as stage 2. Yet, on etronic module, normal is stage 3, torqur is stage 2, and linear is stage 1. They needs to re-do etronic map switching manual as one that I got has many mis-information.

Yea, just let us know dyno day. As long as it's not last week of March, I should be able to attend.

That was my fear initially. But as long as you wipe dust daily with california duster and have car waxed once every few month, it should shine like new car for long time!

thinks to himself ... "must lower ride, must be careful over speed bumps and steep driveways ... if others can do it, so can i"

Andrew115 · 03-02-2015, 08:50 AM

If I could keep a black car swirl free I'd be all over this setup. I am sure others can easily do this but for some reason I can't, I look at black and it swirls, must be my laser eyes.

Awesome car! Is this on standard suspension in the pics?
