First mods arrived, albeit all used.

Used Swift Spec*R springs
Used 12/10mm Macht Shnell spacers
Used front lip: not sure the name or style but it's pretty scuffed. No matter to me as I wanted a lip that wouldn't bother me too much if it was damaged lol.

Couple items done today. Installed the front lip and flash the GTS Stage 0 map and DCT transmission profile.

Both really gave the car a much smoother power delivery. And the 1-2 shift in S2 doesn't seem to abrupt and jerky. I'll get used to this for a bit before I move onto the ACN91 Stage 1

I'm an avid Laker fan, and grew up watching Kobe. So I made it a goal to try and visit every SoCal mural. This car is so much fun to drive

Just ordered my CBC. I'm well aware it's not a complete fix, but it'll do until I get around to getting a full spline lock in place.

Beautiful car ! Love them wheels, wish I had them for mine
Also just ordered the VTT cbc this past Friday.
Not planning anything ridiculous power-wise on this one, runs great.
However, just doesn't stack up to the AMG C-63 with headers etc I had previously. So be at least a stage one-something from someone.
Still unsure about which tuning company to use at this point, doing due diligence. For sure, a great driving car, though, loving it every time I get in it !

7 hour detail done. Finished with Gyeon Synchro. I didn't add the photos in order, but the last photo is before I washed the car.

As much as I liked the 20s, I didn't care for how the rode. And I'm more of a fan of thicker sidewalls, so I went down to 18x9.5 +22 and 18x10.5 +34 Vorsteiner VVF-108 in 265/35 and 285/35s.

Did you notice any difference in turbo sound with the charcoal filters out? I've seen other members mention that as an advantage but I personally didn't notice it when I did mine.

Haven't updated this in a while.

Car still gives me a ton of smiles. Still running the BM3 OTS Stage 2, and it's plenty of power for me. Eventually I'll go full flex, but no rush.

On a somewhat related note, I picked up a new driver. No idea on its reviews, but I got it only cause it's an M3 lol

It's been a few months but here's where we sit now:

CS style hood
RW Carbon CS Style spoiler
No name brand side skirt extensions and rear spats
TE37s 19x9.5/10.5 265/35/19 and 285/35/19
BM stage 2
Catless downpipes

And YET another gift from wifey: CF/Alcantara steering wheel


Plan is to wrap it after the holidays, but I'm not sure. Also pending M2C BBK after the new year as well
