We went with 10m up front and 12mm in the rear. No rubbing with that setup. Clearance is pretty similar to the 19/20 staggered setup. A larger spacer up front would of have fender liner rub turning.

Anthracite Metallic G80 M3 in for KW HAS kit and 15/12mm spacers

Flying05 · 01-12-2022, 08:50 PM

I remember putting springs only on my e46 and e92 with no issues to the suspension. Is this still the case for the G80? Is the ride also a good bit stiffer with springs only?

I have yet to see anyone confirm, is the M performance wheel any thicker than the OEM wheel?

tom @ eas · 02-08-2022, 07:30 PM

Aventurin Red M3 Competition in the shop today, expect to see this as part of an upcoming build series, also with Ivory White M Carbon Bucket Seats.

KW v4 Coilovers and Titan7s already on the way, as this will also be seeing track time.

Is it just me, or is the trim behind the M Mode buttons, also alcantara? And the heating function, still doesn't work with the M Wheel, correct?

Yes the backside trim is alcantara as well. Heated wheel gets eliminated, but doesnt cause any errors or need to be coded.

I would say its pretty similar to original thickness. Didnt feel any thicker or thinner to me.

Tom, can you reuse your stock back side trim instead of the Alcantara?

The trim on the M performance wheel didnt seem like it was removable like the F80 is. I dont believe you can swap your original back trim.

I had EAS install 18 mm up front with Pirelli's and just trimmed the vanes at the front of the fender liner. Looks proper now and no rubbing.

Ok, im settled, KW springs are not low enough on the front. There is at least 1/2" drop missing. Then AST it is, or KW V4, whenever that becomes available for xdrive.

tom @ eas · 02-14-2022, 07:57 PM

Evolution Racewerks Downpipes and Crossover Pipe install.

Does this retain the heated steering wheel function?
