Final Mods: My '16 M3 (F80) in Silverstone Metallic

MadZarBMR · 04-03-2016, 10:31 PM

Installed M Performance side skirts from iND.

I wasn't sure about the M Performance film so I installed it to see how I would like it and now I am torn. If I decide to keep it, I plan on applying Suntek PPF which will give it more of a gloss finish.

Looking forward to hearing what everyone thinks. Yay or nay on the film? ///M Performance decal?

Where did you find the CI-R's in 19?

supremepower had two sets available last month. I was one of the lucky one's to get a set. Originally wanted the FI-Rs, but just could not justify the price. These are a very nice compromise and I actually prefer the color since they do a great job at hiding the brake dust.

Thanks - I had not thought about only having the M Performance decal. I might want to give that a try.

I think my dilemma stems from the front sitting as high as it does. The black decal makes the entire car appear even higher. I might just keep it as is until I get it lowered to see how it looks then.

I do - PM sent...

Looks great. I personally prefer the oem black wheels against the silver stone.
So you have done nothing to the suspension? It sits much lower than my 2016 only done 1700km maybe it will drop a little ??

Yeah I do like the look of the 437m in black but it was just too much work keeping them clean -even after coating them.

Nothing done to suspension yet. Springs do settle a bit, but not by much. I now have 1600 miles on mine.

Not sure about the side skirt film as I'm not that "contrast" type of guy, but the car looks soo nice in the photos. Those wheels with the taller sidewalls are top!

Thanks - I think I am leaning towards removing the black film. Something seems off about it at certain angles. I think its the flared out edge of the rocker that makes it weird. Maybe that is why for the next release of the film BMW chose to take it almost the entire height of the rocker similar to the F30.

Beautiful car! Love the color and the mods!

I could be wrong but it looks like you got the car from Bob Smith BMW in SoCal.

Perfect bro! Need to see your ride in our next East Bay meetup! My ZCP getting treatment for the week.

With the MPE does the foot-kick trunk open feature still work?

It is the CF diffuser that makes this not work. MPE alone should be fine.

Oh right, that makes sense. Any CF diffusers been proven to retain the working foot-kick?

I would imagine that any made from real CF would be the same case. I would be curious to know if one does exist.
