While waiting for my 13 M3 (still) figured out my little mod list !

[6spdg37s]

I ordered a 13 alpine white on fox red m3 coupe last week.
-premium package
-comp package
-sirius
-heated seats
-CF roof

Figured out my mod list since its a lease I am not doing a whole lot cause if I dont buy it out I will swap back to return

-Miestershaft GT2 Exhaust with connecting pipes (still considering eissman race but leaning towards miestershaft GT2)
-DTEC LED Halo upgrades
-Tints
-K&N Drop in filter

maybe eventually -

-carbon fiber rear spoiler
-Dinan stage 1 tune

does anyone know an estimate of how much the dinan tune will free up combined with a KN filter and the exhaust ?

as soon as i sell mods off my z06 (which should be soon) I will hopefully start ordering stuff for the m3 !

I cant wait to get this car !

in stage 112 right now

You won't see many gains without doing an x-pipe of some sort. While all tunes will provide gains over stock, major power isn't found without replacing the stock cats.

Congrats man you'll love the car.

A little advice...
The replacement LED bulbs will probably leave you wanting something better. I've been through the whole angel eye ordeal and the pictures people post of non-OSS angel eyes look ALOT better than they do in person. They only look good looking right at them in the right light. They are hardly visible during the day. If you want the best, spend the $450 and go with these guys in NYC http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthr...4#post12590584 . IMO Lux and Angelbright are a waste of money...if you are already spending that much go with the real deal. The difference between the $100-$150 LEDs and lux/aib aren't much in terms of quality. The difference between OSS (180 see link) and others is HUGE.

For tint take the car to Art of Tint. Too many people mess up the dot matrix and have some crappy installers doing the work. Their work is amazing and well priced.

We are lucky to have both of these places local to us. People ship out their lights and all to 180 from all over and they can do the lighting while you wait.

Where in NJ are ya? Enjoy!

Nice, I hear ya I leased an e92 m3 in 2008 and just went with wheels, tint, reflectors, grill.

My first car in hs in '04 was a g35 coupe. Nice cars for the price especially but by the middle of the lease I regretted not getting a 330. I can't see myself getting another Infinti...especially anything more expensive than a G35. They feel way too Nissan like IMO. Welcome to the dark side! Lol.

If you are free sept 15th you should check out the Mpact meet in Maryland. There is caravan info about it in the regional forum.
