Two weeks of G80 M3C ownership and about 300 miles of seat time.

'Creeking' noise(s) from front dash absolutely driving me insane.

At least one source seems localized to AREA of central speaker in front dash.

Lots of discussion (threads) on this topic in the G-series subforms.

'Solution' below seemed correspond to at least one problem at hand.

Exact same speaker/speaker cover as in G80/82.

Executed task. . . ZERO SUCCESS

UPDATE:

The source of creeks can be hard to identify, especially when driving as they occur.

While driving today, I went to adjust my seating posture and pushed out agains the seat bolster next to the center console . . . CREEK.

Pushing outward against the bolster produced the creek repeatedly. Unfortunately, pushing outward not required and the creek occurs spontaneously and continuously with routine driving.

So, good news is that the creek was identified. Bad news is I see no way to remedy the problem at the current time.

UPDATE II:

Somewhere between 400 and 600 miles of ownership, the seat creek spontaneously disappeared and has not returned after some 1,300 miles.

The bad news is there persists an annoying as hell creek in the center console area.

You and me both. Planning for pics and video.

Similar to my last PCD.

For the clutch stop, did you leave all the washers in, or use a lower amount?

Attempted to edit post #191 and add outdoor pics below for outdoor (real world) perspective . . . for whatever reason, could not get pics to attach to the post.

Berger Motorsports Spacers
15mm front
13mm rear

~500 miles since taking ownership
Front springs have settled 7-9mm to date by my measurement.
Combined (spacers/settling), the front gap more acceptable according to my subjectivities.
With tincture of time, anticipate the front gap will settle out close to my ideal.

Can you link to where you bought those? ? I love that look.

I love the 15mm/13mm set-up. I wonder if that'll work for the coupe as well.

Does the G8X come with the mobility kit in the trunk?

I'm so worried about rubbing in the front with 15mm spacers, even though it looks awesome. I heard it rubs when in reverse and turning. So please let us know if you experience any rubbing with multiple passengers, or a big dip or any other time. Thanks.

Your M looks great.

Thank you Kevin

If I turn sharply in reverse I intermittently notice some VERY mild rub on driver's side. . . turn steering wheel sharply CLOCKWISE.

If there is a similar rub on passenger side, it has escaped my perception from the driver's seat. Perhaps I have not yet turned the steering wheel sharply enough counterclockwise in reverse???

No rub otherwise, regardless of load or bumps at any speed.

Personally, the described rub in reverse is of zero concern to me . . . I understand you and other drivers may feel differently and may decide upon a slightly less aggressive set-up (e.g., 13F/10R).

Hope that helps.

Using all the washers and i don't see any reason to remove any so far.

Got it. My only initial concern was that it may require more effort to start the car while depressing the clutch. But if it isn't presenting a problem, then it's all good!

awesome, this chasis feels so much more planted on corner exit, and the top end is so good, corner entry is also better at least from my past experience specifically on the brakes, I am going to Road America this weekend I can’t wait.

Even on my 13mm fronts I am occasionally getting some rub on the drivers side in reverse on a sharp turn.

Pulled out the charcoal filters.

Definitely adds some sound in the low rpm's,
Especially when you're in the wrong gear and lugging.

Also seems to add some spool down sound when letting off.

The actual filter housing is "welded" into the intake, but it looks like the engineers were planning on us removing them because you can very easily slide them out of their housing.

Worth the 10 mins I guess.

100% easier job than on the f8x cars. No brace removal necessary.

ive spent 900 miles in mine grinding the break-in period and have been sending it into corners in a way I imagined was impossible on my previous 440 (not a comment on the ps4s but just an example of how great the p-zeros are)
