Just got it back today, all done at BMW, so impressed with the results and the ride quality!

Beautiful color, looks great!

Love the color. Do you have spacers on your wheels? If not do you plan on adding some?

Thanks. I didn’t have spacers previously but I ordered some 10mm and the BMW dealers fitted them at the same time. I think they’ve helped the stance but I didn’t want any wider.

Thanks mate! Really pleased with it. I’m probably going to put an OEM CS bonnet on it to finish the look off.

Awesome Color combo!

You must do this. Here's my car with the MPHAS installed as well, it looks like the same drop as you car so I'm assuming you went with the factory recommendations? I had mine done at a local BMW dealer and they went by the book. I would have liked a *bit* of a drop lower, but it's at a relatively safe height now and just drives wonderfully.

Definitely get the hood, it's worth it.

Mine is lower than the reccomended drop I can get some measurements for you from the rim to wheel arch, I’d say yours is also lower than reccomended and looks really nice!

The tech said mine was full drop at the back and had just a little more to go ag the front..

Been quoted £4200 for the hood, struts and vent, very tempted!

Some more now she’s all clean and tucked up again.

Absolutely beautiful! It reminds me of my YMB cars but the Mexico Blue color is just a bit nicer, wow!

I think you're right, mine does appear to be a bit lower than yours. Perhaps yours just needs to settle a bit? I guess they did go lower than recommended on mine (I thought they had told me they followed the book but I guess not?), they always take care of me at that dealership hah.

Again love the color and LOVE your white interior. What a gorgeous car, don't ever sell it!

Thank you! Very kind of you. The icing on the cake is that it’s done just 5k miles.

To be honest I hope it doesn’t settle too much. The UK doesn’t really lend itsself well to very low cars, it can end up being a nightmare with speed bumps and dips!!

I have just under 4” clearance under my front lip.

looks great!

what happened to the M3 CS?

It fell through, which was really disappointing. I have a feeling the CCB had been absolutely cooked on track and the dealership wouldn’t do anything to help out. Even the pads had less than 5k miles left on them, (21k mile car) and it had passed the approved used BMW standard so they wouldn’t even put new pads on for me.

I had to walk away.

What passes as Approved Used (or BMW Premium Selection in mainland Europe) is quite surprising.

Always bring a paint depth gauge at the very least... and BMW UK should know the background of the car, i.e., if it was purely an end-customer car or maybe even one of their HQ demos that they lent out to 50 people, etc. Those cars get beaten on.

I think this was an end customer, 1 owner car. He traded it in for a G82 CSL so I think he likes his track focused toys, which is fair enough, I loved it and really wanted it especially with the ceramics but I may as well put them on this M4 if i had to replace them anyways.

So nice, the color and setup looks great!

[tbone24000]

beautiful color, setup looks awesome.

[Colinv6]

Thanks guys. Haven’t driven it again yet since getting it back on Friday with the HAS fitted.

Been spending plenty time detailing though. I always say this, but I want to keep it forever.

[Colinv6]

With its stablemate.

He clearly does. Not a fan of spacers. Still doesn't solve the skinny looking stock tires problem. Actually exacerbates it.

Clean OEM looking ride dude. Neck breaker.

[nfstoddard]

I’m debating on whether or not I should get spacers on mine.
