My Skyscraper Grey G80 M3 build

WadeM · 07-05-2023, 09:36 AM

So after my AW F82, Tanzanite Blue F82 (Euro delivery) and San Marino Blue M4cs F82, I made the move to the G8x platform. I picked up my manual Skyscraper Grey G80 at BMW of Barrington at 1:00 and dropped it off at 4:00 so A&L Autobody could start the mods. The guys at iND were amazing as usual and had all the parts at A&L waiting for the car to arrive.
Went with the following:
Vorsteiner carbon grill
AutoTecknic carbon brake ducts
iND painted bumper reflectors
3D carbon front lip
Future Classic spacers
KW HAS
Acexxon rear reflector insert
MHC carbon rear ducktail spoiler

XPel window tint was done at Auto Image in Barrington.

Huge thanks to Ryan and Anthony at iND and Chuck at A&L for the help!!!

Nice. What mesh did you go with for the V grill? Anymore pics of the front?

T1M3LESS · 07-05-2023, 02:21 PM

Car looks great with the mods! Enjoy!

Skyscrapper_G80 · 07-05-2023, 02:39 PM

Very nice! I am currently waiting for my M3 to be built. What are the specifications for the front and rear drop?

Orbit Grey wheels are so slept on

Was told I could go down about another quarter inch before the bottom out on the HAS.

Here are a couple more grill pics.

Powerbeast · 07-06-2023, 08:23 AM

Perfectly clean and subtle, very well executed!

Thanks! Did you end up going with Vorsteiner's mesh?

Yes, went with vorsteiner mesh from iND.

WadeM Looks excellent man. These factory wheels are an ideal pair with SkyScraper Grey.

Gotcha. Kinda hard to tell from the pics, but does the mesh only cover the lower portion? Nothing on the top?

Loving this build, Sky Scrapper is a very under rated colour IMO. You've done a great job with this and the spoiler looks great.

Game · 11-14-2023, 01:07 PM

Looks great!

Can't go wrong with A&L. Great shop.

cfm56d7b · 11-15-2023, 07:16 PM

Nothing to add to an awesome build. Congrats!

ksa · 11-15-2023, 08:26 PM

Looks great. Very tasteful mods and exactly what I am thinking about. Except don't think I want to lower (as nice as that looks). I too have a skyscraper grey metallic m3 technically speaking though I got mine wrapped in a matt black purple vinyl and stealth ppf on top so it couldn't look more different than skyscraper grey. lol.

SIGM3 · 12-18-2023, 04:21 PM

looks amazing! did you a install a different diffuser as well?
