Excellent background which makes this particular paint really look the best it can be. Whoever put this spread together and thought about how it was all going to look, did a very nice job.

Agreed 100%. The pictures are well done, love the ones with t he water in the background.

Maybe I'm missing the point completely, but these are all 101 mods. Is this really a "build"?

The point in this case is that it's completely intentional it looks like an OEM+ build. There's still over $15k in mods on this car as it sits.

We've got a lot more in the pipeline which should hopefully more of a 'build'.

Thanks! I can't take any credit for that. Our content creator Nathan is the guy, he does some incredible work: https://instagram.com/rtwenty3

If we ever get a lobby going I want you to talk my ear off about this build. Looks great and excited to see what else is to come!

haha, I was trying to get online but it didn't happen. We'll get something sorted.

Thank you. These cars look so much better with just a drop and spacers.

It's a great kit. If you have any questions, give us a shout.

Great work Jack & Nath, love the build! It is OEM+, hence why it could've come like this from the factory. It is basically how everyone wants their car these days isn't it? Subtle exterior mods, with high horsepower numbers and a good exhaust.

The days of tupperware is long gone (thankfully so).

The Dutch importer of Akrapovic, Eventuri, HRE and Urban Automotive is also running this kit as well, so that says something it the kit is accepted within that brand portfolio. Very comfortable, but sporty enough in sport mode and goes very low (but also tall enough for those who just want a subtle drop).

The HAS kit for the G81 Touring will be tested soon as well.

For those of you that don’t know who I am or who AUTOID is, we’re the vehicle styling shop. We specialise in styling products for BMW and have an extensive range of products and exclusive brands. We’ve been doing this since 2015 and the introduction of the original M2 where we were the go-to for carbon kits for that car.

We're a little late to the party here with our G82 build, but it's something we've been working on for the last few months. Now we've finished the first stage, which is a classic OEM+ build out.

Before I get to that, a little info on the base spec of the car.

• BMW M4 Competition xDrive
• Dravit Grey, Black Extended Merino Leather
• Technology Pack Plus
• Comfort Pack
• BMW M 50 Years Badge

I’ve taken a few bits from a blog I did on the car, so the tone of voice is a little colourful compared to most forum posts – but hopefully its interesting.

Lower the Ride Height
The car sits too high from factory. This isn’t in dispute. The xDrive variants in particular, run very high. That’s why our first recommendation is to fix this and improve the stance of the car. Better still, with Cobra Height-Adjustable Spring, you can improve the ride quality whilst doing so. In fact, their height-adjustable spring kit not only allows you to tune the ride of your car to your own settings (I’m looking at you front splitter / low drive combo), but also retains full compatibility with adaptive suspension. Cobra have designed a win/win with this system. Highly recommended. We recommend a 30mm drop.

MSS offer a similar product which is equally good, though a little pricier.
Improve the Stance
And… if you’re doing the lowering springs. You must do the spacers. It's written law. I mean, it isn’t, but it's recommended. It’s common knowledge these days that thanks to the actual law makers, wheels sit very far into the arches. Apparently, this saves children, badgers and bank accounts from curbed wheels. It doesn’t look great though. So, if you’re doing lowering springs, we suggest spacers – this will really fill out the stance.

Our recommendation is 15mm front and 12mm rear. In our view, this is the best wheel spacer option for the G80 & G82 platform.
If you’re looking for more information on spacer options for G80 & G82, our friends at IND Distribution have already created an excellent guide on the forum.

Upgrade Rear Spoiler
To be fair to BMW here, they’ve stepped their ‘stock-spoiler’ game since the F80 & F82 series of car. That being said, for a 500+ bhp car, they could go further. Luckily, we do. Our preference is the ‘Ducktail’ spoiler. It suits the nature and design of the car. The ‘CS’ spoiler is a nice middle-ground though and the more popular choice.
Shop G80 M3 spoilers here, and shop G82 M4 spoilers here.

Add a Front Splitter
With the aggressive kidney grille design, it’s a little disappointing that the front-bottom edge of the bumper essentially trails into nothing. We think the car does looks like a piece is missing from the bumper without a splitter installed. When you spot it, you can’t miss it. Our recommendation is the Essentials Competition splitter. Looks great, doesn’t cost the world and fits excellent.

An alternative is the CSL splitter, which we have currently installed to ours.

Fix the Interior
A weird quirk of the interior on the Competition model cars (or those that have spec’ed the carbon interior), is that the driver’s side trim is Gloss Black rather than Carbon Fibre. No idea why this is, but no worry, the aftermarket has fixed it. This is a must for all the carbon interior cars in my opinion.
We’ve just launched an overlay kit, which is a pre-preg carbon fibre trim that matches the OEM carbon fibre trim with the same 2x2 twill. Another nice no-brainer mod.
If you’ve got iDrive 8 this is not an issue, you’re all good to ignore and move on to…

Improving the Sound
Like almost all modern cars today, the M3 & M4 are struggling in the sound department. It’s a side effect of the restrictive laws placed on manufactures to improve emissions. Luckily, we can pretty much counteract those restrictions by installing a new exhaust system. Our system of choice is the Milltek OBF-back (Axle-back) Exhaust System. This improves the volume and tone of the stock system, retaining warranty and remaining legal.

This section is mainly relevant to UK folk. If you’re criminally inclined, you can go further. Maybe being a criminal is a little far. But if you’re happy with pushing the envelope, you can consider the ‘OPF-delete’ systems. These free up the exhaust even further, thus increasing volume too. They’re not ‘MOT’ approved, so it’s worth considering this. If you’re feeling extra naughty, you could also extend to a high-flow catalytic convertor, or better yet, a ‘decat’. Maximum sound. Angry neighbours.

Our recommendation? The Milltek OBF-Back (Axle-back) Exhaust with Cerakote Tips.

Summary
We’ve also completed several other mods to go with the above, below is a list of all of the mods that are currently on the car:

• TRE Carbon Fibre CSL Front Splitter
• TRE Carbon Fibre Front Ducts
• Essentials Gloss Black CSL Grilles (with Active Cruise Control)
• Motorsport+ CSL Yellow DRLs
• Eventuri Carbon Fibre Intake
• Cobra Height Adjustable Lowering Springs
• Bimecc Wheel Spacers (15mm Front and Rear)
• TRE Carbon Fibre Side Fender Inserts
• TRE Carbon Fibre Mirror Covers (Available in Left-hand and Right-hand Drive)
• TRE Carbon Fibre Side Skirts *new product*
• Milltek Full Cat-back System (OPF Delete) with Cerakote Black Tips
• TRE Carbon Fibre Rear Diffuser – OEM style
• TRE Carbon Fibre Ducktail Rear Spoiler (Available for G80 M3 and G82 M4)

And here are some images of it in its latest form. Wa have more on the way, but gives you a little idea:






Here are some photos from a previous photoshoot which aren't as dark...








Hope you guys enjoyed. Rest assured, this is only stage 1. We have some excellent stuff in the pipeline. If you want to follow the build, you can do so with regular updates on @autoid Instagram and @rtwenty3 instagram.

Any questions, just shout.

Hey everyone, update on this build thread since it's been a while.
ADRO released their redesigned from bumper and being sole UK distributor we decided this needed to be on the M4 alongside the ADRO side skirts, rear diffuser & G82 M3 rear wing.

The car also was given a custom set of west forged satis wheels in satin black.




As you can see the ADRO front bumper extends the nose out further to meet the inside of the headlights giving less of a snout and more of a shark look.

[Joe AUTOID]

At the rear you'll see the carbon diffuser which is very aggressive, following the design language to the side skirts with down facing winglets.

The rear wing has been specifically designed for the G82 M4 and is a great balance of increased presence yet clean subtlety.
