BIMMERPOST F80 M3 v2 | BBS FI-R + Brembos
Presenting v2 of the BIMMERPOST M3 (also see previous thread)! The M3 has come a long way in a short time and it's been fun! My goal since taking delivery has been to assemble a build which is attractive, eye-catching, yet tasteful. While aesthetics were important, so has been the performance impact of the modifications. To that end, the latest round of modifications improve upon both the visual and performance elements of the car.
For wheels, there was no better choice than the newest and lightest 19-inch BBS FI-R forged wheels in platinum silver. Having reduced unsprung weight by 4-5 pounds (per wheel) compared to the factory wheels, the next focus point was the brake system, which has been upgraded to the Brembo GT 380mm brake kit with two-piece Type III rotors and TS20 pads. This change also resulted in weight savings of 10 pounds (total), while improving pedal feel, braking force and thermal capacity. Red was chosen to add a touch of color and excitement to the exterior, while complimenting the Sakhir Orange interior. Current modifications include:
A big thanks to the shops and companies who have helped along the way with this ongoing build (in alphabetical order): Alex@Alpine MS AWE IND Mode Carbon MRF Engineering Supremepower Tag Motorsports Shout out also goes to: Sal @ Autocouture Golan @ Autotalent Kevin @ EAS Charlie @ Mckenna BMW Ray @ Sonic Tuning Photos by Ted7.

Incredible build and photos too! Are you still on KW V3 coilovers?
I love how you managed to drop 30 pounds of unsprung weight from the car while improving the looks. |

Beautiful car. I'm curious as to what side skirts you used? I've read about a few guys modifying the M4 BMW performance ones to fit. My M3 is on its way and I've already ordered the M performance front splitters, front spoiler, and rear diffuser. I need an option for side skirts so it will match.
