powder coat

 

ms = macht schnell

love them so far, no issues. yeah i love that too about how spacers can help out so much without effecting oem suspension ride. thats one thing i didn't want to touch at all on this car. the bay area roads are like cobble stone roads, lol, ok not that bad but close enough. its also amazing what 10mm does from the comp pckg.

the MP steering wheel is very nice!

the remus i went with because i liked the overall balance it offered for me. i like the sound, quality, and price. i like the tips too. double wall tips have always been my favorite. took me forever to decide on exhaust it seems. i was bouncing back from one to another. then my friend told me to go see his friend at remus so i drove over. heard a m3 with a sport version, was nice but not aggressive sounding enough for me, almost stock like. so i figured race would be and i am so happy i went that route.

the MP exhaust is nice! i like the engraving on the tips! i think my diffuser though would of covered up the logos, covers the remus ones. so just a heads up on that one.

what other mods are you going to do or have done?

 

Well, I've done the spoiler and splitters. Also added the black chrome kidneys and gills. I swapped out the leather/carbon interior trim for the performance polished carbon trim - big change and highly recommended. You can also easily sell the carbon leather trim and defray most of the cost. Really easy mod to do with a good set of interior trim tools.
Next is the MP steering wheel that I've ordered and M exhaust in the Spring.
I like the look of the spacers and may have the wheels powder coated as well. I'd like to match that black chrome look of my trim.

 

yeah i love the cf interior, thats one reason why i bought the M. love that and the CF roof. my friend who does interiors thinks he car wrap my oem wheel in that same material. so i might do that before going with a new wheel, not sure.

my friend just did only spacers and one size bigger tires in width, and wow she looks lowered for sure. no rubbing she said.

just a FYI friends on the PC color. looks really good with mesh or small style spokes like mesh. flat face or big spokes, the special effect doesn't show up well on flatter style surfaces. looks more like a super gloss black.

 

where in the bay area are you? i'm in the east bay..wonder if our paths have crossed..i agree, space grey is a great color for the car. bmw greys are terrific.

 

How much did you pay for the PC out there? Out here I'm looking at about $800 for all 4 including wheel mount/dismount. Did you get the polished carbon interior?
+1 on BMW greys, I had a steel grey E46.

 

totally agree with both of you. when i first saw the SG i was like omg this is the color i've always wanted. i love the shadows that SG creates! espcially on the body lines. Mmmm.

i'm out of the peninsual. do you go to any of the meets or shows locally?

we should meet up though. i'm trying to get a cruise together. i'll post it in here once i get it all down.

thats actually about right, $800. its a huge process. its a PC sandwhich with a very expensive silver paint in the middle. so black PC then silver then clear PC. the black layer has to be flawless or the silver will bring out every flaw. so its a very time consuming process versus traditional pc colors.

i have a lot of friends and family in the car world so i get love on most my mods. like my mom just retired from painting bumpers. crazy huh, my mom. lol. on my wheels i paid $400.

no just the regular matte CF leather or pleather, lol. i've seen that piano black online in pics, looks really good. i've just always wanted this. if they didn't offer the cf i would of done PB for sure.

 

nah, M3's suck. especially in space gray

 

^^^lol whats up panda?

 

You should check out the polished carbon performance trim. It's a real easy swap and it really looks outstanding.

 

oh yeah the gloss ones. maybe down the road. if i would change, i was thinking of matching my wheels. i don't know yet, i'm just still really happy with how it looks. bmw and the m division really nailed it for my tastes. one thing i really wish this car had though was those stealth mud/rock guards like jag, vette, aston i believe have on their fenders. i know you could just use clear bra (already on), but i think if designed right, as if bmw wouldn't, it would look good. idk just my couple lincolns.

 

nice and nice pics.

 

Love the pics!

 

thank you ^^^^

if any locals to me are looking for some shots of their own car, let me know. i'm trying for a gray/silver shot too.

 

Stunning! Great color and pictures!
