This is my first new car build. My daughter was just teasing me about buying a new car and tearing it apart already.

I was 20 at the time, and bought an 87 Jetta — the year before. Since then it’s been all euros, with a sprinkling of Japanese daily drivers.

Finished with install.
I did simple green and pressure wash the suspension.

The grill is a Twenty Two. I went aftermarket because they eliminated the badge area. I didn’t want to deal with making something “work” and I’m ok with the car saying M4 Competition in only three places.

I’m going to ceramic coat the wheels while they are off.

Alignemnet is next.

car is fire, love it.

Skyscraper · 04-23-2023, 02:01 PM

I set the spring perches at 15mm drop. Checking the alignment it moved the toe to +1/4”. That’s a lot of toe out.
I set the toe to -1/4” to allow for setteling. Should settle into about -1/8”

Exterior mods are done.

How the hell did I miss this thread? Man, Im slacking. Crazy build, SS. I should have done what you did, and ordered the tail lights when they first came out. They are now, $1,400 each for 4. Even INDs pricing went up $1,600. I had them in my cart, in Germany for $3,400 for the set, and I didnt pull the trigger, and then while I wasn't paying attention, they almost doubled in price. Nuckin Futs.

PS, I need that lift!!

Yep. I saw that they went up another grand.
I'm going to give it right back if I decide on the CSL STB. I should have ordered that at the same time, but went for a group buy that seems to have fallen through.

Unfortunately, there is a reason why they are out of stock, everywhere. And I had one, and sold it.

20yr old neighbor kid just nicknamed my car the Ironman. LOL.
I didn’t see it until now.

Magnificent build, this car is stunning!

gnx · 04-26-2023, 03:48 AM

Tasteful mods, great looking car, even the m performance exhaust seems to blend in fine with the red bodywork.

Thank You. I was so nervous about checking that box. I regretted it a few times. In the flesh it’s pretty cool looking and sounds great.

I have a 60 something lady neighbor that drives a clean 440i Vert. She was walking by the house and commented how much she likes the car and specifically how good the car sounds.
Those M Performance guys are pretty good.

Immaculate taste!! 10/10 🔥 My favourite thread on bimmerpost you sir are invisioning my dream, keep us updated!

Love the red! Almost went red on red myself but chickened out hahahaha!

Looks great! 🔥

JWG80M3 · 06-09-2023, 12:11 PM

Absolutely beautiful! And also the best thread I’ve seen on here since I joined a few years ago. Thanks for sharing, and thanks for setting a great example for the dialogue!

Congrats, What a sweet build. Hope to catch a glimpse at one of the local BMWCCA events.

Lol. You've earned whatever right exists to call this a build!

LazyM5 · 06-09-2023, 12:30 PM

Risky move with red on red but works great!!

Is this car debadged or is it RWD?

lovesm3s · 06-09-2023, 12:44 PM

RWD.
I didn’t want the weight. But after a couple thousand miles of driving. I sometimes wish I had got AWD.
