First UK modified M3 Touring

R44 is back again with yet another G81 M3 Touring build!

With these cars being so new, it’s great to see so many owners building the car to its full potential. We’ve partnered with our good friend Dale ( @DAL33S ) at the Autoworks to transform his newly delivered G81 finished in Alpine White.

First things first, we sorted out the car’s stance. Just like the G80, the Touring’s ride height - especially at the front- sits far too high. We installed a set of MSS height-adjustable lowering springs.
Let's just take a moment to talk about why these springs are one of the BEST suspension systems for the G8X platform. Firstly, they are fully adjustable, lowering roughly 0-30mm. This means you can tailor them to your personal preference, wheel/tyre setup etc. They also retain the factory electronic dampers allowing you to switch between comfort & sport suspension settings. You get the adjustability of a coilover with the simplicity of a lowering spring. Well done MSS!

We also installed some classic Bimecc spacers to get the stock wheels sitting nice & flush with the arches. The spacer setup we went for was 12mm at the front & 15mm at the rear which really finished off the car’s stance.

We are doing a full build on this stunning G81 - we’ll be back soon for some further updates!
What mods would you do to a G81? Let us know!

Couple updated pictures on my G81 M3 Touring!

Vehicle got delivered just over week and half ago and went straight to Autoworks Services who collaborated with R44 Performance to modify the first UK M3 Touring…. Vehicle has since been for full PPF.

There is a YouTube series running in this from R44 and episode 1 has been released.

LINK

Vehicle is currently on development MSS HAS kit and once a few 100 miles cover final height adjustments will be carried out. This is a different kit to stock G8x!

Early drives confirm a great ride. Keen eyes will notice additional visual mods / noise has already been added. Follow the series to see what else has been done 👍🏻

Looks great here! Love how the wagon makes this design language actually kind of work.

Very cool spec! Can't wait to see what's next

Looking forward to seeing yours.

DAL33S · 02-22-2023, 03:16 AM

Few updated pictures!

I’ve raised the rear and the front has settled more, I will be raising the rear another 5mm to get the correct rake.

It’s great to be working with MSS again on another development project. The G81 development kit is using different spring rates to stock g8x MSS kits.

Really impressives with the comfort and handling improvements as always with an MSS equipped vehicle.

Absolutely stunning mate

Ooof

R44 Performance · 02-22-2023, 10:42 AM

Really love this build mate! Saw your CSL with this beast together and boy do they look good together.

Definitely have to get them both up this way for a shoot!

Thanks Imran, definitely up there with one of my favs we have done!

R44 Performance · 02-27-2023, 11:15 AM

In this video we get the M3 Touring sounding how it deserves to with a Remus OPF back system!

For those of you that have OPF cars this is a great option to make the most out of A quality after market exhaust system without having to remove your OPF filters.

It will give you a louder and more refined tone in comparison to the Axle back, back box option that Remus also have available. It also being the race system means it has smaller resonators to give you you a deeper, louder and more racey tone.

Let us know what you think of the final results and If you are considering an Exhaust for your G8X let us know!
