My Dream Spec F82 M4

[WordOnRoad]

Starting to think I need Tanzanite/Amaro in my life...

Finally recieved my OEM fire extinguisher and bracket. Fits perfectly under the seat in its factory position and doesn’t get in the way of the passenger at all.

One thing that always drove me nuts about my Tanzanite M4 is how close but different the color of the calipers are. They had to go, after some searching i found a really good deal on a set of low mile F87 M2CS red calipers, also known as M Performance 19” Sport Brakes.

For reference, the new red rear calipers and rotors are the same size and diameter as the stock blue front brakes!

Once i got them, gave them an immediate wash and had my local mobile detailer (A1 Autoworks) swing by to ceramic coat them for me. Besides a few minor blemishes, they look almsot brand new! Ordered some brand new Ferodo DS2500 pads which were phenomenal on my blue brakes for both street and track.

Installed and filled with some fresh Castrol SRF brake fluid and had the new brake kit coded in through ESys. Also had the CS EDC and steering coded, wow! What a difference.

Front Blue brake rotors and Rear M2C (2NH) rotors are the same diameter, (380mm) but different rotors

They are the same size as the CCB calipers, so yes will fit with the 763M wheels!

Epic looking car. My number 1 favourite.

It’s quite rare in Ireland so I had to get San Marino which is great but a little too loud for me.

Tanzanite is the ultimate.

I can’t wait to share some photos of all the new parts going on this week with my crankhub install!

SSR 4 pin crankhub
CSF Heat Exchanger
CSF Charge Cooler (Color matched)
CSF Oil Cooler
CSF DCT Cooler
VRSF Downpipes
Mishimoto Charges Pipes (Color matched)
CTS Turbo J-pipe (Color matched)
X brace core support (Color Matched)

Once i get it back home, i have an OEM M Performance Carbon front lip and a set of ADRO Carbon side skirts going on with the Turner Motorsports underpanel.

And lastly, the biggest change so far, a set of BBS LMR’s in Diamond silver with Diamond cup lips wrapped in some Michelin Pilots Sport Cup 2’s! Check out that caliper fitment😎

[Tyzak120]

Well, that’s a wrap! Crankhub job and all other parts installed! Bootmod3 stage 2 tube flashed.

All the work was done by Vanoslab outside of Austin, Texas.

After a 200 mile drive home, i love it! One thing needs to be changed, already ordered the Active Autowerke resonated rear section for the equal midpipes. I currently have the straight section and it’s just way too raspy. Hoping the resonated section cleans it up some more, if not I’ll try out a single midpipe setup.

Onto the next phase!

I’ve been hesitant to install a front lip on my car, not only due to my driveway but due to Houston roads. Well, I’ve given in. Originally purchase an OEM M Performance front lip in carbon to go with the carbon splitters but UPS did UPS things and broke it in half. I truly wanted a CS style lip anyway and i got my money back out of the M Perf lip so it wasn’t too big of a deal.

After doing some digging, i found Horizon Motorsports V2 CS style lip has the same mounting points as the OEM CS lip. So i ordered all the oem brackets and hardware to get this mounted up properly! While the bumper was off, it was the perfect time to add some mesh behind the lower grilles to help protect the Aux coolers!

Next, was a set of ADRO carbon side skirts. I really like the carbon winglets on the M2 CS but those won’t fit on the F82 sadly. So, next best thing was the ADRO skirts. Let me tell you, these are some of the best fitting aftermarket carbon parts I’ve ever seen. Seamless install.

Lastly, to address the elephant in the room, those shiny new BBS LMR’s. My good buddy Nick at 797Performance got me hooked up on a new set of LMR’s in Diamond Silver with Diamond cut lips.

Fronts are 20x9.5 et23 with a 5mm spacer
Rears are 20x11 et40

What better than to run Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2’s?!

Fronts 265/30/20
Rears 295/30/20

Very very slight rubbing on the front fender liner in these specs.
