What did you do to your M3/M4 today?

Overall happy with the results. The lip isn’t a perfect fit, but ok for the price and a disposable item.

I think i did all these the same mods in a night too. i ended up taking off the ebay lip because i couldnt live with the gap mine had but yours looks much better. i just ordered a new one from Maxton. lets hope!

Yeah, I don’t think it’s too bad. If you get too close you can see a bit of a gap, but it looks pretty decent from a normal distance. I did have to wiggle the side pieces around a bit after mounting the center. It was terrible before that.

Good luck with the Maxton!

Be careful with the maxton. They're fragile. I broke 2 (one impact and they're toast) before biting the bullet and getting a legit cf lip.

I bought a cheap splitter from AKAmotorsports and the fitment is pretty decent, especially when you consider I paid like $140. I have a hard time spending money on front splitters because they ALWAYS end up damaged. If this lasts me a year before it breaks I'll be fine buying another for another year.

Hi from France!
Today, summer shoes are back!

nosbocaj · 03-29-2024, 12:54 PM

Swapped out the garbage OEM brake pads with some iSWEEP IS2000's. The brake squeal is completely gone. Definitely more bite than stock. TBD on the brake dust as I've only done about 10 miles and my wheels are pretty dirty. I should have done this the day I brought the car home!

*SST Exhaust control valve controller installed.

*CDV Delete completed

*Joined bmwcca.org 😀

Wtfitzvi · 03-29-2024, 08:39 PM

1200 mile service done today and I put on the bmw CCA plate.

I hate the new design and colors. I prefer the old plate much more.

Time to wrap the plate 😎

AWE Switchpath Exhaust, non resonated mid pipes, and the SST valve controller. This exhaust is a big job y’all. I am wore out. Adjusting everything and getting it lined it took quite a bit of time..

Do you mind showing/ telling how you jacked up your car

Cloudplay · 03-29-2024, 09:35 PM

Picked it up and drove it home, at long last...

It’s perfect in my opinion, dark enough to look good but not so dark that I can’t see at night.

I have access to a hydraulic lift at my local military base. $10 a hour with tool rentals. Amazing benefit that I've used many times.

The yellow is too harsh of a color. I’m normally all about contrast, but it’s too much (in my opinion.)

I agree. They look much more orange in person too. The yellow looks fine but it’s not my cup of tea, and everyone has them.

My man! Happy for you and you’re gonna love these pads.

Edit: I didn’t realize that you’re in the military. Thank you for your service! Guys like you are holding this country together. Enjoy the car brother and thank you again!

Got my muffler painted with VHT flameproof (same stuff used for the E9x exhaust mod) and added M Performance Tips

Really completes the look if you don't want to swap the axleback for noise reasons, and really looks fantastic

MMnut · 03-30-2024, 03:19 AM

You may want to do a few top coats with VHT heat clear gloss, look much better. Ask me how I know

HeelToeShift · 03-30-2024, 08:07 AM

Added my Vorsteiner Motorsport CF grills and then replica AC Schnitzer cannards (need to add second level) and replica M performance lip.

Now just need to get my Akrapovic exhaust and Akra mid pipe on and some new wheels/tires.
