I had ended up buying a GT-R for my personal car, mostly because we had already picked up an E92 M3 for a demo car. woulda been a little silly to have 2 M3s for us.
Here is the demo car though. many new things are coming along on it this month though

Welcome to the Team! First off, let me congratulate you on the new purchase! Your M3 looks great and amazingly clean! lol The exhaust looks great too. I'd love to see some videos so we can hear what the new exhaust sounds like.
What other mods do you have planned? Can you share some more of your wonderful photography with us?

Thank you DJ!
Not bad though, best of both worlds combination . Do you guys have anything for the M3? Looking for something simple if/when it goes on its next install.

Small Updates, Performance Grills and Sidemarkers
Performance grills got here, thanks Evan @ Tischer BMW .
The big before and afters...
-Not digging the chrome so much...are you guys?
-Much better frontal upgrade. Wasn't too bad to DIY, btw... took less than 20 minutes to pop in and out and all I needed was a flathead and some good squeezing techniques
.
Fitment is superb (no surprises) and quality is excellent. Ordered some sidemarkers from iND for $75 shipped (thanks Andrew@iND) but they're expected to arrive tomorrow... Getting a drop for my next big mod after the reflectors!

Well, we're getting there...
Alright guys, the iND painted reflectors finally came in . Was seriously looking to get rid of the orange reflectors so here we go:
-Thanks Andrew@iND! :thumbsup:
Definitely loving the clean look here, do have a couple notes...but of course nothing to really write home about.
The painted markers are a 99.5% perfect fit, they did seem to lift up a bit on the inner corners on both sides of the car, they're an OEM part though so my guess is that they just need to be on the ride to settle in. I'm extremely happy though and feel that they're a definite MUST to have.
AND...the big parts that got here earlier than expected! Teasers...because I'm not slapping them on until I get a drop which is also coming soon.
-Thanks Eric@PySpeed!... for convincing me over last weekend to just have a quick wheel and tire package :thumbsup:. I'm surprised these actually came this fast...kinda begs me to get this girl lowered!
-And yes, running on Yokohama Advan's AD-08s and Alufelgen SF-71s Matte Blacks! I'm happy that the wheel and tires (for now..) provided came with TPMS as well.
Specs: 245/35/19F, 275/30/19R
Cheers!

The much anticipated CEL right? :\
I've heard there is a solution to this problem but if anyone has any better suggestions, well... this will in time annoy me greatly. Help?
Anyway onto better news, I got her dropped on KW V3s thanks to the boys at Rennspec! Completely excellent work! I would like to mention that I've had KWs in the past and had always loved the ride...same applies here. Not too stiff, but definitely feeling more confident during curvy on/off ramps. Pomonians are next to Carbon Canyon and getting distance in the hills is actually pretty easy.
Went with a conservative drop since I'm not a fan of rubbing or trying to roll a fender that can't be rolled. I have room for adjustment, but I'm happy for now.
I'm feeling like a dark tint would do well with the matte black SF-71s but we'll see. I'm loving the black/white look so far.
Enjoy! Not too sure what else is next with MFEST around the corner!
