Alpine White m4 vert Build thread
Hey guys I recently purchased an m4 vert, figured I would give this a shot, always modded all my cars but never did a build thread so why not.
Little background, I have owned an e46 m3 vert, e92 m3 and now the m4.Each car has been very different and nice in their own ways. As with all my cars, attention to detail is something I am always after, I really like the "oem plus" look, and I am not one to take away from the functionality of the car. Please feel free to flame, comment,questions, whatever.. Current Mod List: Engine and Trans: Carbahn Stage 2 tune Eventuri intakes v2 Eventuri charge pipes Akrapovic Evolution Exhaust system GTS DCT Flash by Alex@AlpineMS GTS Steering Flash by Alex@AlpineMS GTS differential Flash by Alex@AlpineMS GTS MDM Flash by Alex@AlpineMS Dinan heat exchanger VTT full crank hub solution CSF top mount Suspension: KW V3 Dinan tension strut ball joints Dinan suspension link kit Dinan sway bar set Brakes: Paint matched Calipers Spiegler SS brake lines Carbon Ceramic OEM retrofit Interior: Bmw M Performance Carbon Fiber DCT shift knob Bmw M Performance DCT Carbon fiber surrond Bmw M Performance E-brake handle Bmw M Performance Carbon fiber Door Handles Bmw M Performance arm rest Bmw M Performance Electric steering wheel Bmw M performance pedals Bmw M performance projectors Auto tecknic Extended Paddle shifters (stealth black) Bmw 2016 HVAC surround with ambient lighting Bmw M Performance illuminated door sills Bmw 2018+ black M4 seat badges Bmw M4 CS red start/stop button Bmw 2018 black M4 seat badges Carbonex paint match hood latch Exteior: Bmw M Performance Front splitter and lower lip (custom painted by IND) Bmw M Performance side skirt extenders (Painted Alpine White) Vorsteiner Carbon fiber Diffusor Bmw M Performance Gloss black Kidney grills Bmw M Performance Gloss black Side gills IND paint match front reflectors IND Paint Match engine cover IND paint match key whole cover IND Gloss Black M4 badge Crystalline Tint 40% all the way around RKP rear spoiler OEM European LCI tails/ plug n play harness by Alex@AlpineMs OEM LCI 2.0 fully adaptive headlights Bmw M performance Gas cap Electronics: Smart top blackvue Dashcam Escort 360max with blend mount Coding (done by Alex@alpine best in the game period) Rear fog x5 Screen Valve control Wheels and tires Aristo custom wheels 9.5 x 20 with 265/30 front 11 x 20 with 295/30 rear Michelin pilot PS4S tires Stud conversion kit Project Kics Iconix R40 Racing Lug Nut Set - Closed End Car as it sits currently: I will continue to add pics as progress is made on the car. With that said, on to some pics: The Day I got her with only 3 miles on the clock: Came home and clayed, polished, waxed and sealed the car with the great stuff from Chemical Guys. June 25th: Decided need some tint, only choice for me is 3M crystalline. 40% all the way around: August 8th: What was done, we removed the stupid M//performance sticker and black strip (can't believe this was a $250 dollar option really?!?!? Before: After: Really cleans up the car. Next need to lose the orange reflectors, and also get bmw performance side gills to match the front: After that need some OEM Bmw Performance goodies on the inside to match the outside. -added DCT surround -added E-Brake Finally we coded the car to turn on a lot of the fun stuff and added smart top module to make the top come down or up with one button, can't believe I waited this long to get it.

Good call removing the horrible 428i looking sideskirts. White looks the best on M verts! Can't wait to see the progress.

Nice car but I have opted NOT to put the black side foil. I think it makes the car look cheap. And we all know they are not!
