My Brooklyn Grey G82 M4 Comp Xdrive build with hand controls and many mods
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com My build spec: 2022 BMW G82 M4 competition Xdrive Brooklyn Grey Kyalami Orange interior extended Drivers assistance package Parking assistance package Executive package M drive professional M shadow lights Red calipers Carbon fiber roof 826M black wheels Carbon fiber trim Carbon bucket seats Icon adaptive LED w/laser lights M carbon exterior package Once I got the car I immediately took it to Mobility Works to install the hand controls since I am paralyzed and use a wheelchair. The hand controls took almost a week to install. I was the first person in the world to put hand controls on an G8X so the installer and the manufacturer of the hand controls had no first hand knowledge of how to install it on this vehicle. Normally it takes a day or two for install, this one took five. Luckily BMW offers a great mobility program that reimburses people who need to purchase hand controls for their BMW’s. I enjoyed driving the car on back roads and running small errands but I knew I couldn’t do too much driving until I got PPF done. The car is phenomenal to drive. The best word I would use to describe this car is “capable.” This car is completely capable of handling any corner much faster than any other M3/M4 I have ever driven. This is my third M car and I have lots of track time with other M’s especially the F80/F82 through BMW. The only complaint I have is not really about the car, it’s more so the Pirelli’s mine came with. I feel like I can push the car further but the P Zero’s are holding the car back from being as capable as it can be. Also in my opinion this is the best interior BMW has ever done. They knocked it out the park especially with the bucket seats. The car went in for full PPF and parts in the beginning of February and I cannot be happier with the end results. List of mods below Full xpel wrap including seats Racing sports concepts cf front lip R44 performance cf sideskirts Supersprint H pipe IND painted reflectors Future classic spacers 12mm all around KW Has kit IND painted roundels front and rear Door projectors with M logo M performance cf gas cap I added some photos of my E92 M3 since these two cars will be sharing a garage. I am really proud of where I am now. Five years ago I went from a life changing injury with people telling me I’d never drive sports cars again. “A van would be more practical” they would say. Now I have two M’s I’ve put a lot of hard work into and I couldn’t be happier. Link to my E92 M3 thread below https://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1847070

The new classic color combo for the G8x M chassis. Good stuff! This seems to be a real crowd pleaser

Looks great! How do you like the R44 side skirts? I've gone back and forth to getting them. I'm afraid of breaking them by forgetting they're there when entering/exiting.

The only reason I haven’t ordered this color combo is for the fear it’s too common amongst the g8x platform . But seeing these photos, it’s so obvious why it’s a crowd winner. The car looks absolutely fantastic!
Well done - one of my fav g8x I’ve seen yet. The OEM+ look does not disappoint. |

Glad to see a full on thread and that everything is now coming together for you. Car is looking great!
I have the M performance side skirts (which stick out a decent amount) and really haven't had any issues. I also have the carbon buckets though so there is that little bit of "extra care" that goes into my entry and exit strategy anyways.

looks great. really like all the pieces you've added.
Help me understand how the racing concepts pieces install. I saw the video for the front lip. Remove 10 factory screws and it goes over OEM, put screws back in. Done. That's pretty awesome is that the same for side skirts? Looks like some of your pictures above have the front lip but not the side skirts? Just wondering what the look would be of just the front lip and factory shadow line side skirts. Think the front lip would be lower than the factory side skirts and look weird?

Congrats on the new car.
Post some pics up with your new hand control setup. Interested in seeing it on this car compared to your F82. Do you sell your cars when upgrading or do you still have them? Was wondering if you sell them with the hand controls as that would be a specialized subset market but with car prices right now, would probably set a premium still. I’m pretty sure you were ecstatic for BMW to offer carbon buckets for your needs. Awesome and enjoy in good health! |

I really like the look of them but the side skirts do poke out about an inch and a half so you need a little bit more clearance when getting in and out. It’s definitely possible to accidentally step on them when getting out. You just have to be careful but the carbon is really good quality. When the shop was installing all the carbon he was very impressed by the RSC lip but said the R44 side skirts had a perfect weave with no blemishes. One of the best pieces of carbon he’s seen.

I see you have Pzeros- looks good with 12mm spacers f/r. Any rubbing? Perfect setup?
Plan on getting KWhas as well and I'm on Pzeros. Don't want it to rub but look aggressive. Thoughts? |

It’s weird, the first day I had no rubbing at all in full lock going reverse now I have a little bit of rubbing so I am going to do a little bit of shaving to stop this. The shop that installed them saw where it could rub and said they can fix that if it’s an issue so I’ll be taking it to them later this week.
