..::PSI::.. Presents Blue Detonation

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com


The baking heat of a Florida summer can warp reality. One minute, life is plodding along at a snail's pace, and the next, a ghostly spectre rises from the shimmering landscape, threatening to redefine all that you know. Suddenly, a streak of blue passes you by with blinding speed, accompanied by a gargantuan exhaust roar. You have just been strafed by magnificence.

Fellow Floridian Matt has what might possibly be the most glorious Le Mans Blue E92 M3 we've ever seen, to say nothing of his house or garage, which are equally breathtaking. Spec'd in the proper 6MT/ZCP configuration, this beautiful machine features black interior trim with carbon leather in mint condition. Outside, however, is where most of the changes were made.

After going through a few different sets of rolling stock, the new M52R wheels in Gloss Gunmetal from Klassen were installed on Yokohama rubber, to devastating effect. Dropped on a KW sleeve kit, the pure attitude dripping from every angle of Matt's E92 is intimidating, to say the least. We hope we never end up owing this car money.

A Challenge GT front lip and rear toe arms were installed, as well as OEM M3 Edition black grilles and side gills, along with IND painted reflectors and keyhole cover to match the LMB paint. Completing the performance aspect are a Dinan carbon fiber intake, underdrive pulley and a vicious full exhaust system, with an Evolve tune and RPI scoops to enable maximum performance. There will be no sneaking around in this M3.

You never know what you might find in the heart of Florida. Some say great food, others mention scenic vistas. To us, however, there is a Blue Detonation just waiting around the corner for the ignition sequence to blow your mind.

Mod List:
2011 E92 Le Mans Blue M3 (6MT/ZCP)
Klassen M52-R 19X9 ET17 Front / 19X11 ET25 Rear
Yokohama AD08 255/35/19 Front / 295/30/19 Rear

Last time I detailed it was about 8 months ago. I still can't believe how awesome Collinite wax is for $15 a bottle.

At the risk of seeming shamelessly self promoting, my M3 has been sold as well as most of my parts. I still have the wheels and Challenge front lip left. Hit me up if your interested.

I seriously dont understand those that spend $$$ on everything else and then skimp out on the suspension and make it perform worse than stock. Otherwise looks good. Now i gotta go drive mine for no reason.

I hear you and was very relunctant to go with a sleeve kit as I was certain I would ruin the feel and handling of the car. Keep in mind, I don't go to the track and wanted to retain EDC funtion. The Ground Control/Eibach option can be noisy and is using linear springs rather than progressive like the factory (correct me if I'm wrong). TC Kline seemed a bit unnecessary for me as I didn't feel like I needed to name custom spring rates. I must say the KW sleeve kit is pretty darn awesome. I'm sure you could notice a bit of a difference between factory ZCP and KW with reduced travel and stock shocks at a HPDE, but for me they are perfect. As far as I know, there is no other suspension option that retains EDC.
