Finally Joined the F82 Club

I recently picked up a 2017 F82 M4 Competition in Sakhir Orange, and I’m absolutely obsessed with it. The car feels planted, and the Sakhir color just pops like crazy in the sun.

Of course, I’m already digging into parts and upgrades. Mainly cosmetic stuff for now, but I’m all ears for anything that’ll keep the car clean and tasteful.

Congrats! I've basically been driving the model for the past 10 years and love it to death more than ever. Post up some pics, you picked a very good color!

Looks clean and congrats! As a fellow F82 ZCP owner, I always tell new F8X owners to do the coding package immediately. CS Chassis, GTS Differential, F87 M2CS Steering (GTS steering as well if you want, I vastly prefer F87CS though) and Euro MDM completely transforms the way the car drives and it only costs $150 for everything via a third party coder usually. You can also do it yourself if you are familiar with ESYS.

Cosmetic Carbon Suggestions!

That is great information!
I was thinking more cosmetic things to start and then get into the tuning and performance mods. I will definitely be doing that later down the road especially if it makes the driving experience even better. Do you have any carbon cosmetic suggestions? Interior as well as exterior.

Looks good! (Fellow sakhir owner here)

It’s really easy to wire the radar detector through the rear view so you don’t have the dangly power cord…I think that’s what I see in the windshield.
