I have finally completed my build (I think).

I wanted to thank all of the people that supplied me for my mods at the same time so here it is:

-Edelweiss Wheels LT3 in Champagne Finish
-Michelin Cup 2's 295/285
-Ast Lowering springs (new gen, no creeking)
-Gt Style Grill In full pre-preg Carbon Fibre from @dongsai_jack On Instagram
- Full Carbon Fibre Side Vents from @dongsai_jack on Instagram
-RW Carbon M Performance Style Front Lip
- Alcantara/Carbon Fibre LED Steering wheel from @dynaperformance on Instagram
-Track Pack PPF from Homa Spa
-Light tint PPF on taillights and headlights from Homa Spa

Thank you

Excellent, clean build. I am so on the fence about the AST springs. But given you have the front lip I am getting, do you feel the front is too low for daily driving? Do you ever scrape on dips or speed bumps, driveways, etc?

Not sure if that grill would be available for the i4, (I've got an m50 on order) but man does it look fantastic!!
You did good, man, you did good!

Ha! Thank you! I am 100000% sure that grill options will come out for that electric beast. It has too!

Good question! 99.9% doesnt scrape anywhere. I am careful of course. Sometimes, on speed bumps, i do scrape under my car, i feel its the ride plate but nothing up front. You should be clear. I might have to mention that this will be winter driven as well.

I have a quite similar spec incoming, hopefully lands in Feb. This makes me feel alot better about choosing SSG. Im going for a M3 CSL type build with mine. I love the Edelweiss Wheels LT3 but can you fit OE center caps on those wheels? not a huge fan of their center caps and wanted to get the wheels when my car arrives

Looks beautiful. Congrats!!

moonluv810 · 09-16-2022, 10:40 AM

Very well done!

How is the fitment and quality of the RW Carbon front lip if you don't mind sharing?

Its nice! 9/10 i would say

Absolutely love the car and your style. If you ever run into an E46 Silver Grey then please take a shot next to it and post a pic. I currently have one and would love to know if skyscraper’s grey is almost similar. I’m weird in wanting to try and match my E46 with the new one.

Awesome to hear. The good part of the M Perf style lip is that it really isnt that low, nor does it protrude out much at all.

Hell yeah, all season beater!

So I got answer from you straight from Edelweiss:

You can use the older F8x series oem center caps, yes

But those might stand out a little bit
there are two different models of F8x center caps because BMW changed the supplier back then. You have to go for the older once if possible

Hope this helps!

Looks insane.

Can we get some more pics of that steering wheel?

^^^This. I went from hating the cars with the stock grills to outright loving them with these aftermarket ones. Game changers!

MiamiFan13 · 09-16-2022, 01:38 PM

The car is amazing. The paint color and wheels are a perfect match. And that steering wheel is an A+ mod for sure.
