There's definitely a lot of blue hue in it, both indoors and outside.

The OEM spring perch looks to be pretty impeding in the front wheel well. We're going to be playing sizes and offsets soon

Aside from the gearbox type, with future modifications and tuning potential that we are looking to achieve, comp or non comp wasn't a priority.

Best shop around. Never a worry when my car is in your hands. Excited to see what you have instore for the G80 and hopefully i'll have one soon and itll be over there for some mods as they come out.
Dravit is such an awesome color, I think that's a solid decision putting that at the top of your list, it'll wear it well. Thanks, that means a lot!
Can't wait to see yours come through the shop.

This is, without question, one of the dumbest posts on this topic I have ever read. You don't control the engine with a clutch.
Point taken, and again...my apologies for the thoughtless post.

When did you place your order? They said May for me...
Placed the order in the first week of March. Can't take delivery until July because of work.

I can't wait to see this in person! I'm still a tad skeptical, but it is certainly growing on me. From reviews I've seen, the performance seems to outmatch the appearance. Knowing the high level of expertise of the ACM guys, as well as their unmatched taste when it comes to M cars, I think they will knock this build out of the park!
Congratulations boys! I look forward to seeing the G80 evolve every time I visit. 🤙🏻😎

It's sad that porsches and ferraris don't offer manual anymore.

Everyone is chasing numbers, faster faster faster

In reality very few of these ultra fast cars are ever driven at those speeds, they just sit in fancy garages

That's what I love about M's, you can drive the hell out of it on the track, and have it as a daily driver and know that you didn't spend half a million on it

After writing my question I realized that bmw only sells regular version with 6 mt, so I fully support the guys that order it. The more of those orders the better it will be for all of us, maybe next generation will have manual as well

Thanks for all the love gentlemen. To be completely honest, I have always been a grey fan, and to say I am in love with Brooklyn would be an understatement. That being said, and aesthetics aside, I can't tell you how impressed I was with the initial drive of the car. The car does Jekyll and Hyde in a similar way that the F90 does, but with a nimbleness not easily found in a bone stock M car. Wasn't able to really load up the front end just yet, but it quite surprisingly does not have this looming tendency to understeer, which all its predecessors frustratingly did, which in turn brings a smile to my ever-judgey face. Looking forward to sharing all the things we have in store for her with you guys

Porsche still offers MT thankfully. I wouldn't want any PDK Porsche.

Suspension has been removed from the car for R&D. We are very excited to share more information when we are permitted to do so.

We also had our friends at RSC Tuning stop by from Ohio to scan the M3 for their aero development. They have scans of their own IoMG M4, but wanted to gather more data on the four door as well. Their aero plans are front, rear, side skirts and trunk spoiler. The people have spoken in our IG stories that saw the front scan teaser for a full bumper replacement, but no promises made on their end (yet).

I've always been a grey scale/black car guy. Z06 was black, the first of my e90s was Space Grey on fox, the second and still in stable is Jet, so when I first saw the BG, I was really impressed. I love the dark side, but it almost looks like a blue tone metallic chalk, which I really love. For all the head scratching things BMW does from time to time, I think they did really did it well with this color

That's a great colour and the M3 hands down looks better than the M4. It's no contest.

Continuing our work with MCS on their coil overs, we got it sitting tough for MPact coming up in a couple of weeks! Next up are some CF goodies from RSC Tuning. More photos of the HRE's to come when the tires arrive.
