Here is a sneak peak.
Colors and specs are not final.
This is mearly an R&D set pictured. stay tuned for details….

Yes it will definitely provide wider range of height adjustment, and for E9x M3, rear damper will be full aluminum.

OMFG.

Will look perfect with the Challenge diffuser...

Have a sefe trip !! Can't wait to see the car next in person!!!

GTM · 04-23-2009, 02:23 PM

The wheel arrived today!

Originally we had other wheels on order, but we changed to getting BBS RE due to few reasons.

-. I do not like the deep-dish wheel personally.
-. I did not want to go with Matt black because it dulls out the car too much on AW in my opinion
-. I always wanted something different than just deep dish or concave wheels
-. GT Motoring/Challenge has been always into "MotorSports" and we wanted the wheel that can represent "Motorsports" theme.
-. Stock 19in are already lightweight & forged...so monoblock forged rim was ONLY choice we would have for 20in.

Anyways, these are first 20in BBS RE for M3 in NA which were freshly air shipped from Japan.

These RE are "Made in Japan"

Specs are..
Forged Monoblock.
20x9 ET13
20x10 ET20
Which we believe it is "PERFECT offset" fitment for E9x M3.

Tease pix.
Full mounted pix will be up by end of this week.

Nate@IND · 04-23-2009, 02:30 PM

IL got some premire shops; IND and GTM. Almost jealous because I'm here in SoCal. Looking forward to seeing you guys' booth at Bimmerfest. Awesome pics. Please keep them coming.

boostedtwin · 04-23-2009, 04:43 PM

Excellent choice on wheels. Looking forward for final product.

sun · 04-23-2009, 05:10 PM

Nice looking set of wheels. Can you weigh them before mounting?

Green///Hell · 04-23-2009, 05:10 PM

How are the Challenge Coils? I'm thinking in terms of performance.
I am about to put in order in for TCK but just checking on pricing for these and if theres anything we could check out in person yet

The M3 specification Coilovers are still in development currently. Other applications such as, S2000, 370Z, GTR, Evo etc. are already being used and have been tested for MANY years with our damper manufacturing partner in many professional japanese motorsports series. We are able to choose all dampening and spring rates when it comes to the final product to be sold here on all kits. This particular M3 kit is being engineered from the ground up with Challenge and our suppliers together. We are making sure that the damper is tuned to suit the european car qualities which can often differ from some typical japanese cars suspension design and dampening/spring rates.

Unfortunately, we will not have any suspension components ready for Bimmerfest. We already had our hands full getting our X pipe and rear diffuser ready in time. We will post up some detailed specs and pictures of the dampers once we begin testing our initial prototypes.

Regards,

Greg

There is Fall-Line and AMS as well in the Chicago area. Probably some others I'm forgetting.

And most importantly, Lou Malnati's pizza

I have a feeling this car is going to be awesome, although I'm hoping that race mesh will be painted black! Mount the REs!!

I haven't had Lou Mal's in way too long! Some of us locals go to Pequod's though- it doesn't get more Chicago than Pequod's.

The grilles are matte black.
