The mods have begun, M3's diary

Not planning too many mods on this car, just a little bit here and there. Thought I would keep you all updated on what's happening with the car.

It got it's first modification over the weekend. Tecnocraft CF Envy intake.

Also changed out the filter to a BMC. The sound it makes is a little louder than stock, but not really noticable. The car is also more torquey at lower RPM and at higher RPM there is a little bit more power.

Anyways, enough talk. Here is what the engine bay looks like now.



And the result added 12-6-2010:

Thanks Mo.

I have Vorsteiner CF front lip, CF type II rear diffuser already on their way as we speak. I am probably going to get the Vorsteiner CSL-look trunk lid as well.

My Active Autowerke signature exhaust is also on it's way to me as we speak.

That will be it then for the M3.

Interesting use of the hood vent as intake. Now just build a scoop on the hood over the hood vent and you got ram-air

Looking forward for rest of the mods!

Like it!

now you might want to contact G-Power to get a SC kit and if the AA exhaust does not meet your expectations I would strongly recommend the Akrapovic exhaust system...
