I know I'm not the only one stacking up on parts/accessories while I wait for my new car to be built/shipped/delivered --- curious what everybody else is stacking up in their garage ahed of delivery.

I'll start:

IND painted reflectors (direct), TLG mud flaps (direct), aluminum fender lining plates (aliexpress), Zunsport oil cooler grill (direct), black air intake ducts for front bumper (ebay), clutch stop (ebay), side mirror turn signals (amazon), M Performance Suspension (port installed) ---

Still need: spacers (unsure on 12x4, 12x2 & 15x2, or 15x4 --- may wait until delivery to decide)

Contemplating: trunk mat, F8x M-performance shifter, black front splitter, OEM CF rear spoiler, door projection lights, mirror tap for radar detector, donut spare.

What cardboard boxes do you have stacked in the corner?

[TaroBaapG35]

I didn't purchase anything prior to getting the car..but the day I brought it home I've bought PPF, Clutch Stop, trunk organizer, wheel locks valve controller, Gtechniq EXO/CSL, additional pads/towels for detailing and (contemplating) intake. I'll wait on spacers/fender kit/Stud kit until I get springs (H&R sports since mine is a daily) and I have Pirellis (for now) so could be 18/15 or 12/15 on front/rear. Also planning on switching to Conti DWS06 and adding yellow DRLs, single middy (Stainless Valvetronic) & custom shift knob by EOY.

I’m just planning on PPF and ceramic coating at the moment. And I’ve been eyeing some custom puddle lights, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.

[f30dreamin]

Will do a full body PPF, maybe port installed suspension, spacers. Can’t find an exhaust I like. Depending on delivery time, will have snow tires and winter wheels waiting.

[Mcub3d]

Spacers, AA mid pipe, carbon fiber goodies, radar detector and intakes!

Thanks! You just saved me $25 - appreciate it!

Definitely recommend the mirror tap and adding a blendmount, IMO looks “OEM+”. Some passengers haven’t even noticed I have a radar until it goes off.

What RD are you using? I have a Max360 purchased back in 2015 --- has served me really well, but it is a little on the larger side. Thinking there are some more advanced/compact options out there now. I'm in PA where only state cops can use radar (K-band rules the day) and nobody uses laser -- bizarre but good for me... until I cross-over to NJ/DE/MD

I have a Uniden R8 and it works like a charm. Really enjoy the directional indicator and with the blendmount they’re front and center. There’s a ridiculous amount of configuration abilities to where it’s honestly overwhelming lol. Google VorexRadar if you haven’t come across his stuff before, definitely helps. I’m in Central FL and went 3-4 months with 0 true K band alerts so I’ve completely turned K band off. Haven’t gotten a false alert since. False alert filtering is one of the “highlights” of the R8 from what I’ve read so in your area it can definitely be handy. At ~$700 it’s up there but with my driving style has saved me at least double that before considering insurance increases

[mjj]

Wheels, tires, PPF, tint, blend mount for Uniden R8 are on the list

[Diesel power]

Bought a Winter Wheel Package and Dinan Cat Back as well as AP Mud Flaps, Center Console Badge, IND Painted Reflectors, and smoked covers for rear reflectors. I have a set of spacers from my last car that I'm just waiting to see how I do on the tire lottery to see if I need anything else.
Got the BMW mats for the car and it's going directly for PPF, Tint and Ceramic once I pick up.
Otherwise I'm just stalking listings to see if anything else catches my eye, and been leveling up my cleaning/detailing gear.

Just keep Max360. I have redline. It’s huge also. Escort mount works great with mirror tap.

I got the 6MT, so I'll just downshift to a stop rather than use the brakes ;-)

I actually purchased it for my previous X3M, but just moved it over to the M3 and it was a cargo net, not organizer; my bad

[jbirb305]

whats the point of clutch stop?
for now im just doing ceramic coating (no ppf), window tint, all weather floor mats, interior sun shade

[jrhav]

Have one in my F82 - significantly reduces the LONG amount of travel of the clutch to the depressed position --- and thus from the depressed position to the engagement point. The stock setup has a ton of extra travel involved that many (myself included) seek to eliminate. It is a very cheap mod that IMO greatly enhances the 6MT experience.

I purchased the BMS one for my F82, but went with this 'metal' version based on some rec's here for incoming G82: https://www.ebay.com/itm/230519560074

[CJ421]

This is what I bought for my M3 while I waited:

• BMW rubber trunk mat
• BMW trunk cargo net (medium)
• BMW front and rear all-weather floor mats
• TLG rock guards (mud flaps)
• Zunsport oil cooler guard

After delivery, I took the car to get PPF and alignment.

I'm really thinking about brake pads since the dust is horrible and you can't drive down the street without a little coating building up. Truly, the only time this car has clean wheels is when it's washed and hasn't been driven since.
