The lower rocker trim paint matched to the vehicle color instead of black is such a good look.

is this car RWD? I have a 24 M3 RWD 6MT and would like the front to be as low as this car.

The front of this car looks to be much lower than the other cars I've seen with Ohlins. I have been hesitant on pulling the trigger on them for this reason, but i think it is an AWD issue.

The red one is AWD, but our shop car is RWD. You can go outside their preload recommendations to get whatever height you want. That can come with a cost depending on how aggressive you go with the height of course. If it is very low, you'll encroach on the bump stops. Both of these cars' travel are clear of the bump stops (with plenty room to go lower still).

Said RWD M3 which was reposted from earlier, so sorry for the repeat while scrolling down the page.

Simple cosmetic details always look so good.
Vorsteiner carbon grills, carbon bumper inlets, IND painted reflectors and the interior Competition control panel name plate.







Really liking this exterior/interior combo too. Double points for daily duties of snow tires and the car seat.

We setup a very special engine bay treatment this round with the help of our friends at IND for the Chalk G80 M3.

Bob wanted to go a different route with the engine bay to tie in the Chalk car and the red interior and brake calipers. IND painted over the Eventuri intake, Eventuri engine cover and Indiv ECU cover in red, but light enough to still expose the carbon weave underneath achieving the tinted red carbon appearance.

The Karbonious carbon fiber CSL style strut brace was painted Chalk and its billet end caps done in satin black. The Indiv carbon fiber cooling shroud was also painted Chalk to pull the color up from the front bumper.

The GoldenWrench Blackline cap set was also shot in satin black to match the billet end caps.

Lastly, Downstar full stainless steel hardware with black anodized covers finish it off.

The red car does have room to go lower. This current height is still clear of bump stops while exceeding Ohlins' recommended preload settings.
Going outside that threshold can come at a cost of performance and comfort depending on how low you do in fact go.
