Is it really worth all that trouble & money. The dotted lines would eat away at my OCD on the daily however.

Not knocking just curious mate.

Yes wide angle and no blind spot. I don't trust the arrows 100% 😀

If you want to order the Euro G80 driver side mirror, it is $600 ouch

This is a major buzzkill. These mirrors are such a great addition but cost prohibitive for a "nice to have". Wonder why we don't get these on US cars?

is anyone thinking about the M Perf rear wing? Dealer sent me a quote for the parts alone its gonna be 5500 cad + tax!!

I can manage to get a 20% discount so call it 5k tax in before labor, sounds steep for what it is

I am planning to get it. Yes, it is expensive. So is the car. Is it "worth" it? -That's totally subjective since there is basically 0 performance improvement in almost every driving scenario other than minimal improvement on a track, just maybe.

The more I see the wing the more I really like it and since you have the M4 I think it would look good. I don't think it works nearly as well on the M3s though so I won't be getting it.

I do have the front lip, side blades, and rear winglets on order though.

Powder coated my strut braces. Was only $200 and should tide me over until CF options are available.

Damn that looks good! Really makes the grill blend in with that color in my opinion. Congrats!

Tracked her at COTA. Brakes performed extremely well with no fading after 2 hard sessions. I was on the tail of a 600lt even during the long straight way between turn 11 and 12

COTA is a nice facility. I've ridden/driven it in the past. Did they resurface any portions of it?

I think resurfacing was done in 2020. The track is really smooth.

How many miles did you put on the MSS? Did you notice any changes after the alignment? I am going to wait a month to see where this settles at.

mzcp · 07-17-2021, 10:59 PM

I drove maybe 500 miles with a couple Canyon runs. Drove home from the shop so I can't comment yet.

I only paid for a two wheel alignment lol

Tall Tom Cruise · 07-19-2021, 11:13 PM

Took a picture of the pedals... because I realized that my car's brake pedal is just piece of steel with no cover. Somehow this slipped through the cracks when it was built at Frankfurt?

Hahaha this is annoying. My break-in service is tomorrow so I'll have them fix it.
