Its the iOS 26 beta. You should see the finalized release after the Apple event on 9/9.

Never freaking ends with this car. This isn't something I'd ever buy on my own accord as I generally leave the motors AS-IS, but when selling my CS seats the buyer (super nice guy!) included an Eventuri carbon intake kit as partial trade (I think it's a V1 version, came with the ducting, etc.). I figured I'd try it out and if not super impressed, could always resell it. Install was a breeze, took me about an hour from start to finish. Looking forward to getting it out on the road later tonight as it's been raining. Not looking for anything performance wise but would really like to hear some nice turbo whooshes hopefully.

Yeah, I know I need to clean the engine bay. I've been lax.

Kies on YouTube dyno’d these and they do perform well.

HotRodM4 · 09-20-2025, 07:24 PM

Replaced my left tail light. Even after I drained the water out, the condensation still pretty much killed my left turn signal.

Threw some stickers I had laying around on my diffuser.

And installed some paint matched reflectors.

Car looks great!!

The stock chrome M3 badge on the front of my F80 was damaged, so I replaced it with an aftermarket black badge that I purchased from a member here. The quality is pretty good and we'll see how the tri-color vinyl piece holds up. I like the subtlety of this:

BillNguyen · 09-23-2025, 09:14 PM

Washed down the engine bay today and played around with the new Apple CarPlay update.

Nice front end drop.

How much of a drop is that and which springs are you using??

I am looking to drop my front end and this looks perfect.

It’s a KW HAS. I have never measured the drop. It has camber/castor plates and 12mm spacers.

The rake look is from 28” rear tire, but it makes 867whp…

brody8877 · 09-27-2025, 07:46 PM

48k miles on original brakes, some how it survived 2 track days and multiple canyon drives and cruises. I guess it time for small upgrade and prepping for up coming track day for Thunder Hill West and Sonoma.

Slow M3 · 09-28-2025, 12:45 PM

Did an oil change and threw on Turner 7.5mm spacers.

F80RN · 09-28-2025, 01:49 PM

Nothing special. Just took it out of the garage to get coffee.

Thank you bros!

Got the buttons done recently!👍🏼🔥

HotRodM4 · 10-03-2025, 08:21 PM

Swapped back to 4” tips and seated them a bit more flush-ish vs the poked out look when I had 3.5” tips. These new tips will still give an aggressive poke after heating up after driving, so best of both worlds.

Adjusted them to fit with enough clearance since the Fancywide diffuser has nuts and bolts to adjust fitment.

I forgot that bigger size tips does slightly give more volume. Small but noticeable enough for me. I drove with the backseats down for even more S55 noises 😄

If I recall correctly you’re running AWE switch path, right? If so, what tips are you running and do you have a link?

Im running Switchpath and I have the chrome tips but I’d like to go slightly smaller and a more brushed finish.

Yes, AWE Switchpath here. The AWE tips wouldn’t stay on tight since I had originally used them on the Track Edition first. So, I’ve been using tips from this seller. Got my 93mm set and 101mm set from him within a week.
101mm:

93mm:
https://ebay.us/m/fLP4eg

Seller sells in pairs, so quantity would have to be 2.

I switch out the clamps that come with it for these from Amazon Elifecenter 2-1/2 Inch Exhaust... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C3H5HKPL...p_mob_ap_share

Did my alignment after a month of the car being down for a small grocery list of stuff getting done

had my rear axles upgraded by DSS, differential swapped with lower miles one, Powerflex diff. mount with front and rear purple bushings, rear wheel bearings with the upgraded hubs, new front tension arms with monoballs, Fall-line traction and toe arms/lockout, and lastly changed out my coil packs
