Intro: Hello, my name is Phillip, also known as Sac_m3. I recently purchased my dream car, an F80 M3. I also own a 2010 E90 M3 that needs some tender loving care, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to own the F80. The car has only 26,000 miles on it, and I've already put almost 1,000 miles on it myself. In terms of BMW ownership, I've previously owned a 335, an E46 M3, an E90 M3, and now the F80. All of my cars have been black or dark blue. Although I initially wanted an individual color for the F80, the deal I got on it was too good to pass up. So for now, the car will remain in its current color. I may consider wrapping it in a future phase, but that decision will be made later.

I plan to document my builds on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram. I've broken the build down into phases, with only phase 1 planned so far. As I do more research, I'll update the thread with phases 2 and 3.

Phase 1 Goal: Safety ,power , Aesthetic

Phase 1 Plan: My plan for the car is to get spacers to improve its stance since it's already lowered. I'll also be adding CF side skirts to enhance its aesthetics. As for preventative maintenance, just like I did with the E90 and its rod bearings, I'll be replacing the crankhub as a precautionary measure. Eventually, I'd like to upgrade to twins, but for phase 1, I plan to upgrade the crankhub, followed by downpipes, and then get a retune.

Phase 1:
- [x] Crank hub SSR 4 Pin
- [x] VSRF Down pipes Catless
- [x] ReTune(Bm3)
- [x] Side skirts Horizon motor sports
- [x] Spacers 10mm


Phase 2:
- [x] Dinan Rear section
- [x] Continental Extreme contact sports II
- [x] Alter burble to be less annoying


3/7/2023 - Build update 1-
10mm Spacers for the front and rear SSR 4 Pin Crankhub and Horizon motorsport CF Sideskirts purchased. The spacers were put on and the car was dropped off to do the rest I should get it back Friday!

3/19/2023 - Build Update 2-
I got the car back with the 4 pin crankhub installed. I went ahead and ordered VSRF downpipes.

4/5/2023 - Build Update 3-
VSRF downpipes are now on the car. We are just waiting to get our BM3 license then we will flash the car to stage 2 which will finish up Phase 1

4/15/22-Build update:
Unfortunately I was rear ended today shortly after getting some rollers taken of the car. It’s currently at a BMW certified Colission center in Orlando. I’m waiting to get back the supplements but GEICO initially though the bumper would just require a respray so we will see what happens.

We are entering phase 3 of the build! I will be dropping off the car for the following upgrades this weekend. Once the parts are on and the vehicle picked up we will begin working on data logging our e85 tune. The eventual plan is to dyno the car and see where we are at power wise! Enjoy some of the pictures below!
