I'm in that happy stage now! It looks so good. Do you have pictures of yours with the setup and 15mm all around? Maaaaybe I've seen it. I bought 15mm all around but after talking with EAS I went the safe route and did 12mm in the rear. Rubbing was a concern but I'm happy with how the setup looks.

After seeing n54fanatic's M4 dropped on 18" with 15mm spacers front and rear.... It made me love the stock 18" more than the 19"s.

Can't wait for what's next on the list!

I guess you can call the 18's a happy accident. They were supposed to be temporary but they're gonna stick around for a while. They're too damn good looking.

Oh yeah, I've got a list of things planned in the near future. You'll all be the first to know!

This was when I had the 15mm all around.

A driver in Hawaii? We had one of our supervisors go out there during peak season, they needed him for some reason, lol.

M3xican · 05-01-2016, 01:46 AM

Got 3M Crystalline tint at EuroVision in Torrance, CA.

40% sides and rear.

70% up front BUT we didn't have time to get the front done today. Appointment made for later. Crystalline looks awesome and the guy at EuroVision is a perfectionist, to say the least. I recommend him for any tint work. 20 years in the business.

The car looks really nice in this picture bro!

Rik84 · 05-01-2016, 02:19 PM

Looks great!

And congrats - from another young-ish man who set goals and achieved them. It's pretty fantastic to do this on your own at a young age. I can appreciate when someone is given a leg up in society due to family and social status - but seeing someone else work their bag off for he things they love always makes me smile.

I'm in LA in the early part of June to eat and drink. Perhaps I'll come across a random Mexican in an M3

Thank you! Pictures just don't do it justice though. It's looking JUST right with the tint.

I seriously appreciate that, man. Thank you! I work my ass off so after I take care of the mortgage, bills etc...I want to have fun and BOY is the M3 the perfect toy to have fun in.

Hey let me know! I'm on vacation that full first week of June. You bringing your car? Assuming some sort of BMW, haha.

I've got a 2015 M3, JB4, downpipes, bunch of cf stuff, MPE exhaust, swift springs and 15mm spacers.

But, we're flying down for the weekend, not driving unfortunately.

M3xican · 05-08-2016, 09:43 PM

Today I drove down to San Diego in an attempt to put some miles on the car so I can get the "break in" service done before I head out on my trip to Vegas in June for the Wuste car festival. I live in L.A so that was only about 200 miles round-trip but I'm now at 800 miles! just 400 to go. Never been so excited to put miles on a car, lol.

So we didn't just drive and come back, we made a day of it. Stopped at SeaWorld for the first time and ate some delicious burritos at Lucha Libre. I recommend this spot if you're in the area!

So I approach the parking attendant at SeaWorld. I pay for the "Up close" parking which obviously costs more, once I reach the entrance to that I ask the attendant which side is emptier, he laughs and says "left" so I go left. I park so far from all the other cars that I was basically back at the entrance but I had greatly reduced my chances of anything hitting my car so I had a good day and didn't worry about it once, haha.

I took plenty of pictures at SeaWorld but here's a picture of my car

Nice I do the same. I'll park in the most desolate spot available. Not only do I get piece of mind, but also some extra calories burned from walking.

Exactly, haha. Those extra few dollars were spent on piece of mind! I wish I took a distant shot to show you how alone my car was. Those cones back there are the entrance and like I said, I got the "close up" parking lol.
