There's a new individual red (Hellrot?) M4 with black wheels in the West Loop. I see you pull out of the parking lot on Kinzie between Des Plaines and Clinton frequently.

I also saw a white F8x with European delivery plate in front parked on the street in the West Loop last Wednesday, just off Washington.

Was getting my car serviced an Knauz this morning and saw a fellow Silverstone owner with an M4 newly lowered on BMW's HAS. Your car looked perfect. Wondering if you're on here and what are your thoughts. I had the M3 and now seriously considering getting it installed too. Waiting for a quote fully installed from Knauz.

Hey there! That was me and thanks! My apologies for not hanging out longer. I was already woefully late for a dentist appointment. My initial impression is WOW. Now, I had been buzzing around since November on my winter wheel and tire setup which was on 18 inch wheels and 255's all around. Also, Knauz installed the 265 MO tires on the front and 295 STAR tires on the rear when moving to my 19 in 437M wheels at the same time. Finally, my car had the oldest firmware/software I have seen on the forums which was updated to the latest during the install and they did a fresh alignment. The net effect of all of those changes transformed the car. It feels so much more planted. On the way home, I took the on-ramp from 137 to 94 (which I use daily) and the car was vastly more planted. I didn't get that floating sensation at higher speeds that I had previously. On top of everything, I love how the drop looks. Once the weather cooperates, I will get a chance to experiment more. By the way, your kids are lucky to be cruising around in such a sweet looking M3. Looks like you are making use of all 4 doors!

Very cool. Thanks for the review. I really appreciate it. Looks like I might have to add this to my list of next mods after my wheels and tires come in next month.

Can confirm. I went from 2014 software to the most recent I-Step 3.31 and the car is so much more planted. I also have the GTS TCU tune, GTS Differential settings, and GTS Steering, along with ZCP EDC coded after having the car updated. The car is rock solid at speed. DCT is way less clunky as well.

Saw a guy suited up in the loop this morning around Washington and Clinton pushing a Tanzanite Comp Pkg. Super clean. I was hopping off the bus and wanted to stop him and be like "yoo I got one of those too!"

Spotted a YMB M3 with what looked like white tire decals yesterday on 50 headed towards Lake Geneva. It was a gorgeous day for drive.

Nice, I started to flip a U-turn because you were still at the light. I'll be back out that way this evening I doubt I see you again
