M3 Competition Individual Macadamia ordered - Update: canceled
I just ordered my new car to replace my G31. Since I have my cars for 6 months only (BMW company car) I just went and got a color I always wanted to try: brown. Even if I don't like it, I will just have to live with it for half a year, and I don't have anything to do with the resale or residual etc. I saw a lot of Almandin Brown II cars, but that was a bit too dark for me, so I settled on Individual Macadamia. With the exterior CF it will look great (I hope)!
Initially I wanted to go with YMB interior, it looks absolutely stunning with the yellow contrast stitching, but I think it just doesn't work with brown exterior... Maybe you have some input for that.

What BBS FI-R do you have? I don't know if the offsets from the F90 will work or not yet

The original F80 20" M Performance wheels are ET29 I think, so I hope they should fit? The only downside are the mounted tyres: 245/35 and 275/30. The F80 runs 265/30 and 285/30, quite a bit wider, but I guess getting new tyres shouldn't be a big problem. Let's see how it turns out, might throw in a 5mm spacer if it fits. Wasn't able to find the specs for the G80 M Performance wheels right now, but I guess they will not be that much different. Last edited by Flamingi; 12-03-2020 at 02:08 PM.. |

You should be fine to run the correct sized tyres on them.

Update on my order, it took an unexpected turn: It's canceled, sadly (well actually it's already in production so BMW will have to deal with that). I left BMW and joined another automaker, a small one, quite boutique in the supercar space. Italian-based as you might expect, but luckily they have a Munich office so I don't have to move. I will actually not have a company car anymore, but the payrise is more than enough to account for that
Maybe I can snack that G80 quite cheap because nobody wants a brown M3 haha, but I doubt it. G31 is more my type of thing actually, waiting for that F91 release . |
