Been a looong time coming...

deemack79 · 01-25-2020, 05:41 PM

Finally picked up an M in late October. A very well spec'd 2016 6MT with 24k miles in mineral grey with sakhir extended leather, exec pkg, CCB's, CF roof, CF diffuser and splitter. Long story short, I was helping a chap research them so he could purchase one. He found his, a low mileage one owner in TX, because mid summer there were literally no 6MT's local. On a random day off I was nosing around and came across mine at a local dealer. Test drove and fell in love... did the math and picked it up a few weeks later. Damn thing sat on the lot for three months because it was a manual...smh.

Congrats! Looks well optioned! I'm willing to bet that it sat on the lot because people tend to steer away from the CCB's unless they can afford replacing them! I think they are worth it.

Thanks! I'm not too worried about replacement. This is my third vehicle so I won't be doing too many miles. It's my understanding that with regular street driving they'll last a very long time. The service interval for the pads as of now is 80K for the fronts and 140k for the rears. My 2nd car I've only put 4600 miles on since August 2018. My hooptie is my main thang....

2SNAILS · 01-26-2020, 07:18 AM

Congrats and welcome. Perfect spec with 3pedals, ccb's and red guts!

Thank you sir....

Nice car op. One thing I might suggest is to get the updated black headlight housings - they’d make this car look mean as hell with all that black going on. But the price is a tough pill to swallow.

mike@x-ph.com · 01-27-2020, 10:31 AM

Congrats

My current housings have a bit of black in them. It's just enough imo to kind of coordinate with the rest of the car. Full black housings would be nice, but I just don't have the time or desire to disassemble my lights.

Wasn't like that when she came home....I'm a bit of a weirdo when it comes to cleaning unnecessary areas. Just makes me feel good knowing it's up to spec.

Beautiful car. 6MT FTW.

I'd recommend the M performance HAS over springs if you get tired of the ride and eventually crave adjustability.

So far I'm content with the H&R's. It has settled nicely, and the ride height is basically where I want it.
I watched Tommy L's installation video and they def seem nice. Maybe down the line...
