VDMTom's 2017 MW F80

VDMTom · 11-27-2016, 01:47 AM

Hello! I just picked up this M3 from East Bay BMW 5 weeks ago.. I am in charge of sales at Speed Image USA in Fremont, CA as I am building the car for personal/shop use. We specialize in Japanese wheels retail sales and other performance items.

Previous/Other car that I have before this was a really low GS350 that I'm currently doing a complete make over change.

10/21/16 Day it was purchased.

2017 F80 M3
Minerial White with Black Leather
DCT
Comp package
Executive package
Driver Assistance Plus

10/24/16 Tinted by Canlas Mobile Tint (whom also has an F80 M3 Austin Yellow)

First ordered were KW Variant 3s and Volk Racing TE37 Ultra 19" in Matte Black.

The night we lowered it and I drove it home since it was getting late to raise it...

I decided to go with the Remus Catback with Quad 102mm Carbon Fiber/Titanium tips because I read great reviews and wanted to build our shop business with them.

Put the TE37 Ultra on and KW V3s height dialed in and got an alignment.

I just love the concave of the wheel.

Installed the IND Paint matched front reflectors on Friday and love how clean the car looks now.

Current mods 12/2/2016:
Volk G25 19x9.5 19x11 w/ Bridgestone RE11
KW Variant 3 Coilovers w/ EDC Delete
Remus Catback Exhaust System with Quad CF 102mm tips
PSM Rear Deck Lid V2 (not installed yet)
M Performance Rear Diffuser
APR Performance Front Air Dam
IND / OEM Paint matched front reflectors
Custom Round Top/Flat Bottom CF Steering Wheel (not installed yet)
Full hood, fenders, front lip, rear luggage area, door cups were XPEL Protection Clear Bra was done by Imperial Works in Sacramento, CA

Thanks for looking guys!

+1

Im awaiting to see if Volk makes any wheels in 19's that clear CCB's.

Frankrizzz · 12-03-2016, 02:37 PM

Love the car in stock form. Congrats.

dantm3 · 12-03-2016, 03:01 PM

Looks awesome. The one thing I always wonder is why people get competition package and then swap wheels and suspension anyways. When I order mine I will go no comp package and then use that money to get wheels and suspension done. Looks awesome either way though

I like the seats and the fact the badges were done already. Also the tune makes the burp more
