Nice! I grew up in Radnor. I'm always in the area, so I'd be more than happy to link up! A buddy of mine is a Master Technician at Volkswagen of Devon but works on everything and anything German. The M4 is with him now and he's taken good care of both my X6 and M3 as well.

Teresa's off North Wayne is the best place for craft beers but most notably, their whiskey selection. Highly recommend dropping in if you haven't yet! Just make sure you go to the right side once you walk in, the Belgian offerings.

Love Teresa's Next Door! There is also a pretty good Mexican tapas place with bangin' margs. Since there are a few of us in the ChesCo area we should totally do a meet up (I do usually hit up the C&C in the area on the weekends and sometimes stacks out in Lehigh Valley). After I get my rear diffuser CF sexiness, of course

For sure! I never really see any planned group meet ups or anything of the sort in the regional section of the forums, which kind of sucks.

There were a couple of other meets in the area, but unfortunately a lot of the car scene has become strictly stance kids with fuckboy mentalities and/or wannabe parking lot racecar drivers. I still have a couple of friends in that world who are borderline the same, thus I've kind of fallen off from the car meets and "shows" they go to (WaterFest, H2Oi, etc).

I've contemplated attending a handful of the C&C in the area, but a couple years back I went to a few with a former work colleague of mine and we found ourselves with a bunch of pretentious douches. Not to say they're all that way, could have just been some lame ass Main Line dads escaping their wives for a bit, but I just didn't feel like burning up my weekend mornings with them again haha.

A friend of mine just took delivery of his custom order M2 Competition and regularly frequents a C&C in the area which he enjoys, so I'll have to link up with him at some point and check it out!

Guys since I can't open a new thread I would like to ask it here.

Found some gts stlye carbon hoods and DTM wing both on ebay and aliexpress?

What do you think? i especially want to get the dtm wing but should I expect something completely random?

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33008274401.html?spm

additionally, I have no idea why this costs like 2700£ in BMW. WHY? WHY?

Has anyone gotten a big "universal" wing from eBay? After checking out the APR GTC-300 wing and the RKP GTS wing, I don't want to spend $1500-4k for a wing. Has anyone tried a universal wing from eBay? Like this https://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-5...ty!90245!US!-1 or this?: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-5...ty!90245!US!-1 or this? https://www.ebay.com/itm/UNIVERSAL-C...8AAOSw-cFbl4iF

They both look like absolute garbage. Don't do it, IMO.

I received mine this weekend, unfortunately I won't have my M3 for another couple weeks as it's in for repairs.

I definitely see the bowing in the middle that MakeMuricaGreat highlighted, I also spotted a couple of small imperfections in the CF. Nothing too bad and I doubt I'll notice them once it's mounted. I'll update with pics and such when I get my car back and install it.

Glad your's finally arrived! Let me know if you need help with the install.

I finally got my M4 back from the shop last Thursday.

I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on the Aliexpress diffuser. How bad is the "bowing" guys? I can see a slight bow in the pics but I just want to make sure it's acceptable before I pull the trigger.

Have we determined that bulbxpert makes the best M3 CS Spoiler?

Edit:

Looks like euro_kingdom CS spoiler is the winner. But of course it's out of stock...

The bowing on mine was minor, as stated, but not all pieces are the same. It doesn't bother me in the least bit, just something I noticed during the installation and when I wrapped up the install.

I doubt you'll receive one that is totally out of whack, but I can't speak for what you may or may not get from the vendor.

Let us know how it turns out and be sure to post your feedback in the thread!

Without BreakTraction having posted his review and feedback, I wouldn't have found & pulled the trigger on one.
