Jason@Bimmerpost Mineral White M3 Build Journal // TAG Motorsports

Lalit@autocouture · 05-22-2015, 10:04 AM

Congrats Jason

Gabe@TAG · 05-22-2015, 10:48 AM

Morning Everyone! We're off and running on the Bimmerpost M3. The calipers are done and for those of you who were curious, we went with Mineral White to keep it subtle. As we speak the rear decklid spoiler is coming off and were installing that beautiful carbon spoiler from Mode Carbon.

Next will be the stock suspension being removed and replaced with the KW V3's. We will provide progress shots as they come this morning.

Also for those of you who were wondering we will be installing the HRE Classic 303's (pictured below) in 20x9.5 and 20x11.5. As always we appreciate your comments and for subscribing!

Man, those calipers are going to get so dirty very fast.

JoePcone · 05-22-2015, 10:58 AM

Great wheel choice, cant wait to see them installed.

theriz · 05-22-2015, 11:19 AM

Stunning car. Can't wait to see the finished product.

///bproden · 05-22-2015, 11:25 AM

The calipers will looks sick. Looking forward to seeing them done and installed. Is the M logo a sticker or did you guys cover and paint around? Interested to know how people are doing them once they repaint.

Gabe@TAG · 05-22-2015, 11:36 AM

More updates!

Mode Carbon rear decklid spoiler is installed and looks phenomenal (excuse the angle, i shot it while on the rack.)

We also installed all of the reflectors, badging, and side markers. Those came courtesy of our friends at IND.

Rear suspension is almost done. Photos of that to come soon!

Almost done! The countdown to bimmerfest begins.

gtvr6 · 05-22-2015, 11:41 AM

Curious to see how this comes out.

ChrisMT79 · 05-22-2015, 11:45 AM

Interesting choice. Subscrived

JTO24 · 05-22-2015, 11:46 AM

Damn! I didn't know the Mode spoiler came in 1x1 (I should have researched more lol) but that makes me happy

Car is going to look awesome!

We spray the color of the caliper, lay down the decal, then clear over the entire piece. It works great for us and allows for a quick turnaround.

I agree the wheels will look great but these are temporary. We will have the real ones installed later and do another update and shoot.

E9TOU · 05-22-2015, 11:56 AM

Is this car straight from the dealership!? Wowsers!

Love build threads like this! This car is going to be so nice and clean! Can't wait to see the finished product.

rr006rbc · 05-22-2015, 12:01 PM

White calipers on a white car. That's different. Gonna be a nice build I'm sure.

Yes but only after putting 200 spirited miles in, including hitting up some nighttime twisties with a buddy. Couldn't let her go into the shop without a taste

And thank you.

Powerbeast · 05-22-2015, 12:15 PM

Its really coming together nicely.

Gabe@TAG · 05-22-2015, 12:19 PM

Rear suspension is installed and we're on to the fronts!

Jason wanted a LOT of positive camber on his car.

JasonCSU · 05-22-2015, 12:28 PM

This is going to be one slick looking F80. It would be hard to give up an E90 M3 though.
