E92 M3 18" I'd Say

Proper cool on the z4M

Yup, Style 260s.

Looks good!

I tried putting rear wheels on the front, no chance wanted to take bumper off.
Running Z4M mounts which give more caster don't help matters.

How much did all the AC stuff weigh?

Have to run atleast neg 3d of camber up front to pull off the square.

Really more caster than the m3 mounts are anyway?

AC I'd say was around the 20kg figure.

Yeah my caster is over 7.5 now which gives a bit more weight and feel.

Had some 5th and 6th point harness mounts welded in. 4 point was good but this feels much safer now.



Also got a little care package from America on behalf of HardMotorsport brake ducts



Hopfully be fitting this tomorrow along with another little supprise.

Just scanning through pics again and wondered what you thought of the AKG shifter?

It's very good. No CAE shifter but still good for aggressive driving.

[PBMWsam]

Had a little time Sunday so got the Hard Motorsport ducts in.

This is where the old fog lights and surround sat, that all needs to be cut out.





Also got my hands on a CSL style one piece carbon splitter



Next mod coming I am looking forward to... Thats all the info I am sharing for now

[e21Mark]

They look great. Defo worth the effort too.

Doing it right, excellent car and thread.

That is one hell of a nice M3. It's great to see them being stripped back a bit and used as the original was intended.

On a side note, what's with the chrome kidney grills? Seems a bit at odds with the rest of the car which didn't appear to have any other chrome on it.

I've changed from chrome to black slats in the kidney grill.
Never been a fan of black grills. Stong beliver in the true BMW look of 4 round lights and 2 chrome grills.

Love this. More please.

Estoril Blue... mmmmm....

Now I love my M-cloth interior, but I was only making use of the door cards so to fund my new wheels around this expensive time of year I sold the lot and miss them dearly already.

Running no door cards just looks messy so to keep in tie with my gt3rs theme I brought some more.



Full black leather and swear they are heavier than my cloth set by a fair margin, weighing in at 16.5kg with speaker.
Anyway I will be putting my own twist on these before they get installed in the car.

Like the car, and I like that your dog's appearing in as many pics as the car

I like it! :thumbsup:

[PBMWsam]

Door cards are done and installed

Cleaned up, matt black handles and Hard Motorsport RS pulls



Crudly cut the padding down on the arm rests to give them a slim line look



Flipped the nappa leather over to give a alcantara effect

Looks fantastic, but I think it looked even better with the amber front lights instead of the more crystal items you have now.
