Hey guys wanted to properly introduce myself to the F80/F82 world. I previously made a post about my purchase, but many probably viewed me as obnoxious and arrogant because of certain misunderstandings.

Forward to now; My name is Rell, I recently purchased a 2017 M3 Competition yesterday. Proud moment I must admit. I previously owned a 650 Grand coupe and a 550 (someone crashed into the 650 parked, 550 motor blew) Any advice on mods please do tell...

Congratulations. New here myself. Bought a new 2018 M3 a little over a year ago. Got tired of every car on the road being black, white or silver so I searched for a Sakhir Orange. I’m reading threads on upgrades, particularly exhausts.

My X5M is Long Beach Blue.. I was actually looking for white or black. Thought my X5M is too bright for a daily vehicle.

Congrats on the purchase. I would say it's the single best car that I've ever owned.....easily one of the best BMWs ever made.

That blue was my second choice. M3s were hard to find in so Delaware. Dealers don’t get many allocations and the closest couldn’t even order one. I almost went to DC or Philly but this orange showed up configured just the way I wanted.

Welcome! I just bought my 2017 ZCP a few weeks ago. Car looks great, plenty of mods available. My plan is to make mine sit and look pretty before messing with power as the stock power is plenty for a daily driver at the moment. Cheers!

How did the 550's motor blow? Was it tuned?

Is the new M under warranty?

JB4 over boosted spun a bearing. Same thing happen with my 6 when I installed JB4. Those motors were built to blow, that's just my opinion..

New M is definitely under warranty!!!
