Break in service complete!

Installed 3D lip spoiler and carbon brake ducts. Love it! I just can't get enough of this green 2 years later.

I wouldn’t stress over it.

Yeah Dr. Colorchip is the real deal. I had a chip on my hood at delivery from transport. I opted to just take the car and not have the dealership spend weeks trying to correct it. A few layers later and I truly had trouble finding the chip. They've definitely got IOMG matched VERY well and the system itself is just so easy to use.

What lip is that ?

12CTCT12 · 04-08-2023, 10:43 PM

Can’t post pics but put my order in. Nothing too unique:

G80 Comp Xdrive
Kyalami Orange Interior
Red calipers

Here in NZ, the spec is close to maxed out, so not a lot of things to choose. Shadow line, laser headlamps, full leather etc all standard.

Can’t wait!

I haven't made an official post (yet) on this forum, but here is the "work in progress" 2022 M3 Competition Xdrive. Still waiting for the correct carbon fiber side skirt from RW Carbon.. mistake on their end. Eventuri intake is on order. I bought a painted engine cover from a member here, still waiting for shipping confirmation. New exhaust tips on order.. It's been struggle to get here.. Recently installed anniversary emblems with center caps and CF mirror caps.

They are from RW Carbon. They go over the existing seat back covers. I ended up buying the strongest 3M double sided tape to install them. You can install them using an adhesive, if you're OK with that on the original covers.

At the moment, I'm not too thrilled with RW carbon. They dropped the ball on this. Its the las time i'm ordering from them.

nosbocaj · 04-10-2023, 09:32 AM

Just got her back from the tint shop on Saturday. Going in for 1,200 mile service this Friday. I'm absolutely in love with this car. I don't regret IOMG for a second. I still can't believe how many compliments it gets.

Is that the rw carbon m performance front lip? If so, how was the fitment and do the side pieces go over the stock gloss black pieces?

All the exterior pieces were purchased from RW carbon

1. Front lip
2. side skirts
3. Mirror caps
4. Front bumper duct inlets
5. fender trims
6. Rear diffuser (center)
7. Rear side pieces
8. Trunk spoiler

Fitment on everything was excellent. You must remove the stock gloss black pieces. You can do it without removing the bumper. In my case, it was coming off for the air ducts.

Did you do the install yourself? Would you be willing to install the lip for me if I paid you? I still need to order it

bri1042 · 04-11-2023, 07:33 AM

So. Much. Nose.

This was a fun driving day. The rain let up, the tires picked up a decent amount of heat, and I ended up with clear enough roads to hold the car in the power band for a while here and there. Spend enough days driving in traffic and I sometimes forget how much of a monster my "slow version" M3 can be.

I only did the mirrors, emblems, center caps, under hood stuff, and seat back covers. The shop that installed everything said it was straight forward, nothing complicated.

Probably the only time where there won’t be any Monday blues. 😂
