Calling the Raleigh, NC G8X Folks
After waiting 7 months for an allocation and 4 months for the build, plus a nother month waiting on a vessel. I'm finally on a boat!
I'm aware of the Cars in Coffees all around the Raleigh NC area, but wanted to see if we had any other G8x folks on the forums around Raleigh. Would be cool to meet up sometime and get a photoshoot, lunch, or something with all the G8X's in the area. I would love to see all the different builds too. |

Getting the following done next week: - AWE SwitchPath Exhaust - Dahler valve controller - Fall line oil cooler guard - Dinan strut ball joint kit - MSS HAS kit - Macht Snell spacers - R44 gloss black front lip and air ducts I'm using North Raleigh Performance for the install (NRP). Great shop, the guys there are awesome. I think they're a relatively new shop (only been in business a couple of years), but I very much recommend them. |

That's going to be sweet! I think I've heard of them before. I'll have to check'm out when my baby gets here. Gotta get some before and after shots. Interested in hearing how she sounds after the exhaust. I'm still waiting on them to crack the ECU here in the states. Might have to go the piggyback route in the meantime. You thinking about getting her tuned? |

My boy is all about the STI, great cars and they look good too. I've always personally been into the performance and luxury of a BMW. This will be my 6th BMW, not including the S1000RR. |

Technically my 3rd BMW. Had a 2022 M3 and sold that to get into the 2023. Had a M340i previously. Love the brand. How do you like BM3? I've been looking at tuners to see what options there are. Sounds like BM3 is the programming tool? Who did you use to do the tuning? |

It's an all in one, type deal. They have off the shelf tunes and you can have custom ones made for you by large community of tuners. You can have your favorite tuner make you a map too. Can also adjust the tunes to do things like remove the speed limiter and adjust burbles. I personally like BM3. I've had a few 340i's and used JB+ and JB4 in the past with those. If you're looking to keep warranty the piggybacks are nice, because you can just remove them before bringing in the car for service. |

Good morning Raleighites! I'm just east of Raleigh and pick up my baby at PCD on 1/27 (arrived in Brunswick last week). M3CX, Skyscraper Grey over full Kyalami. Exec, Driving, Parking, carbon interior/exterior and Mdrive professional packages.Met the guys at North Raleigh Performance getting brake work done on my X5. Will likely use them on mods. Who did y'all use for PPF, ceramic, etc? Looking for full front end ppf and want a quality shop. TIA

Once I pick her up I'll be using my brother in-law down in Florida. He owns a shop there. Not sure about anyone reputable around here. Why I'm thinking of making the drive. |

I like the idea of a G8x get-together in the RTP area. Not sure the best way to get out the word and schedule it.
Are most of us BMW CCA members, you think? If so, I could probably get our area coordinator (Rob McIsaac) to send out a note on the email list. I plan to be at C&C tomorrow, but likely will not park my car in the "show" area, as it's just too darn difficult to get in and out.

My car is currently at VPC in Brunswick waiting on two stop sales and a laundry list of M Performance parts to be installed. I'm hoping by the end of the month I'll have her. Looking forward to getting together with the community and maybe some C&C's. |

13 days and counting to pick up my baby at PCD. So excited for this car! Spending that weekend (weather depending - summer tires and all) in Asheville and routes west of there like Tail of the Dragon and Cherohala Skyway before making my way back to the Raleigh area. 1/30 is spa week and then a few mods In February once the parts come in.
