If you pay their kinda prices, it should at least line up correctly. I would not of installed that. I can tell its not an install error, but a factory error. Looks good from far though.

Yup - it doesn't line up 100% on the driver's side. Very frustrating. It's partially my own fault. I've had it sitting in the house since November/December. I guess I could reach out to the vendor, but totally not their fault that I waited so long to do the install.

Looks SO good

Not today but I finally installed a hydraulic nose lift system and a wireless charger.

F82_Kev · 03-25-2023, 02:44 AM

New front lip installed. Let’s see how long this one lasts 😬😬

Bruse Wayne · 03-25-2023, 08:02 AM

Paint Correction + Ceramic Coat [ Modesta ]

misterly1 · 03-27-2023, 08:57 AM

Added CF m performance style side skirt extensions. Don’t mind the chairs lol

MINERALGREY_F80M3 · 03-27-2023, 09:08 AM

Added yellow crossbar "covers" and soon after this I added the missing carbon splitters that the PO didn't have, hence the lip looks almost warped. I removed some of those leaves on the oil cooler too

ShopVac · 03-28-2023, 01:17 PM

Got all my wheels refinished to get rid of the cracking clear coat. Was planning to go GTS Acid Orange, but chickened out last minute and went stock Ferric Gray.

These look brand new.

First two pics are the before, rest are after. I'll graphene coat and get the wheels put back on. $760 for all 4 wheels (strip everything, powder coat, diamond cut, clear coat) + another $80 to have another shop dismount, mount and balance. So $840 all in.

pshep138 · 03-28-2023, 01:21 PM

Sent a cashier's check and dealership paperwork to buy it.

ShopVac · 03-28-2023, 02:19 PM

With the new cut rims - also gave the lugs a new spray with a few coats of clear. Can't have rusty looking lugs on new looking wheels.

Also, was pleasantly surprised they were able to keep the M tags on the wheels...thought for sure I was going to be buying new ones.

Wow... really disappointing that they cracked that badly. I've never had wheels look that bad.

SilleM3 · 03-31-2023, 01:32 AM

Gold wrench caps, turner intake, and RW rear diffuser installed recently.

What lip is that?

Registering/approving the wheels ✅️

To add to this, these rims have less than 12,000 miles on them...and have never seen snow/salt. Of course, out of warranty by age.

All good now though...

BrandEZ · 03-31-2023, 09:30 AM

I coded out ASD and MY GOD what a difference that made. I was debating getting rid of the MPE because i thought it was making the interior boomey with that surround low frequency bass. Coming from the nice quiet interior of a 340i it was my biggest gripe with the M3. It's incredible to me that they didn't make ASD a toggle in iDrive... it's so much easier to live with now.

Bought a 2020 M4 Competition.

Congrats on the purchase, hope it treats you well (post some pics).

Should hold on to the B8.5. It's the last of their manuals.

Kevinl · 04-01-2023, 03:21 PM

Eventuri carbon fiber charge pipes
SSR pinned crank hub
Turner dual rear diff mount
VRSF downpipes
