He is saying that wider tires on the same rims will result in little to no change in contact patch, thus little to no change in actual rear tire grip. And I agree. If you want to keep the stock rims, getting stickier tires and dialing in the pressures can help increase grip.

On topic -- it does look damn nice! Congrats.

Thank you and yes, that is why I'm going with an r compound tire.

Yup! Been there before too great guy! Just wanted to confirm

Richy Rich · 12-02-2014, 02:33 PM

Will snap photos when I pick her up, but here's one that was just sent to me.

Richy Rich · 12-02-2014, 07:30 PM

Added a few shots to the first post until I have a chance to do a proper shoot.

John Tanglewood · 12-03-2014, 09:48 AM

Richy can you get some flat angle shots of the whole car in some neutral lighting? Seems like a lot of your pictures are either too dark or in too much sunlight, so I really can't get a good feel for the look of the car.

Not shitting on you just asking politely, because your mods seem sick!

Blindside_137 · 12-03-2014, 10:52 AM

Awesome.

Can't wait to see the new headlights.

This just became my favorite M3 F80 build on the entire forum! Great job!!!!

I snapped a couple overcast shots in meantime because it shows the true color, these are unedited from my 6+.

Thanks for confirming for me that the M striped grill will still look good with the matte grey. I have it on my MW F80 and will be wrapping it this color in the spring.

They always have, I had them on my frozen grey e92 also.

Just keep in mind that mine is just a satin clear bra on mineral grey, so it's going to look different than the grey wraps will. Mine retains the metallic of the paint, instead of being the flatter grey that the wraps are.

Looks great!
