Oh another thing you will need to get your car aligned afterwards as it needs to be set back to where it should be.
I'm sorry - where's your M3?

Stock M3s benefit from a 12/15mm spacer setup just fine. here's a recent install on factory 18s on H&Rs:







Vehicle is equipped with 15mm/10mm spacers, 12mm will be a bit more aggressive.
