Met up with ScottF30 to have my car coded and swap over my awron from my F32 to the F82. You should def. hit up Scott for all your coding needs. Smarted 19yo I have ever met (kinda).



(I know anthracite trim blows, but that changes later)

Had a friend of mine snap some pics of my car. Big thanks to Kamran @ Kamran Xeb Photography. If you're located in NY, I would def. recommend him for a photoshoot (send PM for info). I was given the full photoset, these were my favorite.

Finally scheduled my 1200 mile service at BMW of Bayside. Mike was one of the best SA's I've ever dealt with. He was extra cautious with my car, since it was low. After my service, I went ahead and dropped the car off to Matt for some more mods. Installed my JB4 + downpipes . Wow, what a difference!

Mods:

Same as previous +

JB4
Evolution Racewerks downpipes

Here's a short video (first few revs with valve closed):

Finally decided on a set of wheels. I went with BC Forged RS41 in 19x9.5 et 20 and 19x11et 40. The finish I chose was brushed black. Here's a pic Eric@pyspeed sent during production! Its the third set.

I've been trying to decide on a diffuser. I wanted to go with something "big". My two options were a exotic tuning street series diffuser and a vorsteiner gts diffuser. I was unable to get my hands on the vorsteiner and opted for the exotic tuning. Justin@Supremepower was extremely helpful throughout the whole process, sent me tons of pics of the diffuser on the shop car and all. I love this guy.

Here's a pic of the diffuser on supreme's shop car:

I picked up some new interior goodies. I enjoyed the anthracite trim, it worked well with the interior but wanted something a bit more sporty.

- M Performance Alcantara E brake with CF Handle
- M Performance Carbon Shifter
- M Performance Carbon Center Console
- M Performance Alcantara Trim with CF
- M Performance Stainless Steel Pedals

My wheels came in! Great packaging and excellent quality! Not to mention how light these things are. I'm usually hesitant when buying things without seeing them in person but these actually worked out, the finish has to be seen in person to be appreciated (brushed black tint)

Here's a pic of the finish:

Stopped by the shop to have my diffuser, wheels and stud kit installed! It completely transformed the look of the car, made it look a hella wider.

Mods:

Same +
- BC Forged RS 41
- MPSS 265/35 305/30
- Macht Schnell Stud Converstion Kit
- Exotic Tuning Street Series CF Diffuser

I went ahead and ordered the M Performance Led Wheel. I had this in all my previous cars, it felt naked without it.

I had an appointment in the morning to install my new wheel at Park Ave BMW via M3ANS55 (Jeff). Jeff squeezed me in with short notice and gave me a great deal on install. I know who to go to for all my service needs! He even removed my exotic tuning diffuser for me as a courtesy since I was running late.



I decided to part with the Exotic Tuning diffuser. I received nothing but compliments on it but I felt it was way too aggressive for the look I was going for. I met up with Nick (Nickf82). Its doing the diffuser more justice than I ever did. I felt it just got lost on the car, stands out so much more on his. I went to back to sporting an M-performance diffuser for a short period of time.

After ridding the Exotic Tuning diffuser, the car felt so bland in the rear. I was eager to get something soon. I caved in and ordered Vorsteiner GTS Diffuser via Golan@AutoTalent. This guy is clutch!



I've been killing myself on what exhaust setup to go with. Ive only heard a handful in person but none were the sound I was looking for. I blindly or should I saw deafly ordered an AWE resonated switchpath setup with Diamond Black 90mm Tips.

The last of my interior mods showed up in the mail today. Thanks again Eric@psyspeed. Amazing weave and quality! Cant wait to install these.

I had a small photoshoot with Kawanny @ Kawannycato Photography. I am extremely impressed with his work. I will be following up with a second shoot next week when the rest of my mods arrive. If you're in the NYC area, I highly recommend Kawanny for your photography needs.

Before you say it, I know the back looks boring as hell. I do miss the exotic tuning diffuser but my vorsteiner should arrive early next week along with my awe exhaust

The exhaust and diffuser popped up in the mail today and me being as impatient as I am ended up convincing Matt to work late and do the install (poor guy). We managed to squeeze a quick install of the carbon seat shells as well. Doesnt take much to install those, besides a little 3M tape only for extra security.

Stock Exhaust:







Here's another masterpiece from Matt. This guy is horrible at technology ha jk.

Seat Shells:

June 30, 2015 Update:


The above new mods warranted on a photoshoot. We mainly focused on the rear end of the car (since that was updated since the previous shoot. Met up with Kawanny (Kawannycato photography)for a quick shoot, this guy is amazing. I am in love with the look of the car as it sits. Just updated it with carbon seat shells, vorsteiner gts diffuser and awe resonated exhaust. I plan on swapping out the HAS kit for coilovers within the coming weeks.

Want to give a special thanks to a few guys for helping me with the build:

I somehow managed to puncture my left rear tire on my drive back from the city (yes, NYC roads suck). I had to wait for a friend to pickup my stock wheel so I could swap it out. What makes it worse, 305/30 MPSS are on national back order. Thinking about replacing both rears with PS2 for the time being. Hey, it couldve been worse...atleast its not the wheel. Here's a pic at the gas station while waiting for my stock wheel.


__________________________________________________ ____________________________________

I finally found a set of replacement tires (yay!). The downside is they're 295/30 MPSS. I've been asking around if it would a notable difference in terms of cosmetics and doesnt look like it will. Worst case, I would replace these when the 305 become available (if ever). I'll probably toss on a 5mm spacer to duplicate the look of the 305/30. The tires should arrive next week, I will be going back to my stock wheels for the week.

I wont be able to stance it the way I want with stock wheels because I have a 75mm stud kit. I can only max out with a 12mm spacer . I have 15's and 18's laying around too. I'll snap pics of the car with the 12mm spacers ha. Its only for the week ha.

I picked up a new accessory to match my interior trim and wheel. I've been trying to get my hands on one of these for awhile but no dealers had stock. I know its a bit much for a key fob ($70) but its worth every penny. Has real carbon fiber detailing! Much better than my standard keyfob cover.

JULY 7, 2015

Was able to toss all my stock wheels on last night. I'll try to get a picture up but I cant stand the sight of it lol. I miss my BC wheels. I took a short video of the exhaust. Its not the best but you should get an idea. Unfortunately, I didnt have any time for drive off videos but will get around to it next week.



back to stockers:

After some long hard research and thinking, I decided to go with KW V3. I ordered the set last night. I've had KW on all my previous cars and just felt this was the safest option. Not to mention, I'm a sucker for "more low". They should arrive within the next week or so, I'll be sure to post up impressions and updated pics. I know its much more work to dial the v3 in vs the pss10 but I hear they're amazing once you get them where you want.



Since I am on stockers, I am actually consider placing an order for a new set of wheels. I was thinking about going 20's this time around. They are offering RS41 in 20" deep concave for the first time. I am considering going brushed silver or black chrome. I am looking at other brands as well (morr, klassen, velos etc). I feel the black chrome would look great on CCB (anything will really)

Black chrome:

Was looking for something new to do and decided to have my engine bay cover, it def adds a nice touch to the engine bay.



August 1. 2015

Swapped out the KW HAS kit with KW V3. I have always ran coilovers on my previous vehicles and really love the way they perform. The car feels more planted, less bouncy than the HAS kit. I was tossed between the V3 and Bilstein but decided to go with V3 for two reasons, they've always worked for me in the past and for the "more low" factor ha. Here's a pic after a fresh install before adjusting the ride height.

"DUMPED"


August 13. 2015

Made the plunge and ordered an AWE S-FLO intake to go with my exhaust . The intake is a work of art! The fitment and finish is just about perfect. I ran into an issue with the pipe slightly touching my hood but plan on contacting AWE to see if it was an issue with fitment or install. My guess is install, since no one else has this issue. Other than that, I love it and it does add some eye candy under the hood, not that I drive around with my hood open. As far as sound, I do hear the turbo spool more. Not as loud as the BMS intake but its there. Performance, I did feel a better throttle response when I picked up the car.




August 14. 2015

I could no longer bare the wait for a replacement 305/30 MPSS. I ended up purchasing a set of Bridgestone RE-11 in 265/35 305/30. I could not be happier with performance, man can these tires hook. They are more rounded and less square compared to the MPSS. Smaller sidewalls, etc.

Heres a pic a member snapped of my car:

This is by far my most favorite mod. The late great Macho Man Randy Savage . My only issue with this mod is, he gets in the way of my rear powershade haha

Man, I love that color!

[supremepower]

Pic overload??? Not enough pics!

I'm really starting to love this color

[PJD_F80]

Just awesome !

[Trips]

fantastic combo! as for rims, I think silver would bring out the tanzanite color of the car more than a gunmetal rim would.

best,
Tom

[CanAutM3]

[ando]

[Brosef]
