Yesterday I had the pleasure of taking my car to Supreme Power to get my summer tires mounted & balanced, as well as wheel spacers put on.
Much much better now that the m3 doesn't have her snow shoes on

Not a huge difference visually with the spacers, but nonetheless I think she looks great. Playing around with the idea of readjusting the settings and going lower on the MP HAS since it's at recommended height right now, but will probably wait until I order the rear wheels/mount & balance them.

Following my visit to Supreme Power my fiance and I installed the M performance pedals, and my close friend hooked it up with a custom license plate

That's all for mods for now - I'm approaching 50k pretty quickly and will include some photos and information for what I wind up doing as far as maintenance. Right now, I'm thinking fluids for diff / trans / brakes and replacing the engine / cabin filters. Any other ideas of what I should include are more than welcome!

Thanks for viewing

My fiance (see.m3.go) was inspired by my recent purchase to pick up an f80 m3 himself! This was also an obvious choice for him considering we've always made it a point to have matching cars

That being said, he found his perfect spec f80 m3:
-Yas Marina Blue (his absolute favorite color!)
-6MT
-Cloth interior
-No options (we joke he brought home a stripper for V-day

)

It was quite the mission - woke up around 5ish at home in San Diego on Saturday, then flew into Phoenix prior to landing in Albuquerque around noon. The car was in absolutely great shape, so the purchase was quick & seamless

We encountered all types of weather on the drive back from Albuquerque - rain, snow, sleet, hail, sun, but arrived safely back home around 11:40PM same day. The f80 is an absolutely lovely road trip car - it was comfortable, handled all the weather with ease, and got surprisingly good gas mileage too!

Some R&R from Saturday was definitely required on Sunday, but we did manage to get some pretty cool pics of his YMB with my Azurite

Super excited for when he gets around to posting his build journal on here, I know he has some big plans for his car!

Thank you so much! Love the color a ton - crazy how variable the color is depending on the light. Never get bored of it

FastM3CT · 03-18-2021, 09:12 AM

One of my favorite colors on the F80 M3 next to white... Without question a true BMW family! The photos which was taking by your future husband came out great. Would love to know the camera specs.

Whatcoloristhat · 03-18-2021, 10:41 PM

Gorgeous color! You gotta hook it up with a pic of those 37’s!

Welcome to the 6-speed club! Love the interior color. Any plans on dropping the car when you throw the TE37s on?

Very sad update on the te37 situation..they discontinued the rear size that I wanted, so I've listed the fronts for sale. Super unfortunate

As for lowering the car, it is currently on MP HAS which I really like...but I will probably need to adjust the settings a bit since I'll be going with 18s

Looking at getting a set of BBS E05s soon though...

No major updates on the car, aside from having some fun photos taken (pc: stefan tomalik // my fiance see.m3.go)

Finally got my new custom plate from the DMV! The kid's plate with the flowers is pretty sweet. Other than that, m3 got fresh brake fluid (RBF 600) trans fluid, diff fluid and an oil change (performed by yours truly). Still waiting on my BBS E05's to arrive sometime late summer.
