New member introduction
Hi guys,
I just bought a 2008 e92 M3 . I thought, I should introduce myself and along with that ask a few questions. Its 2008 with 58k miles with full service history, alpine white with DCT. I am in love already. I was looking for a manual ,but ended buying a DCT. It is an amazing gearbox ,but not as fun as the manual. Got the red extended leather interior( I dont really like leather ,but i am actually quite happy with it).CF roof.Navigation.Comfort access. EDC ( which I experienced before ,but realized how beneficial it really is on the long way home(nearly 2k miles). The ride is a lot smoother.18 inch wheels style 260 black (I dont really know if they come in other color at all). Here is a pic: Well I already have bunch of stuff I would like to do with the car and to the car . The PPI turned ok so I dont have anything to fix ,but I will check the rod bearing and maybe change them if I have to. The one thing I was concerned about was that the car was originally produced for US market ,but the first service ( 1k miles/ 1800 km) was in Estonia. So I asked my local bmw dealer about that and he said I should not be worried. Someone might have cancelled their purchase and the car ended up in Estonia. Also I will get sticky tires first. Since i am coming from 330 e46 I am not used to the power and hold on any power upgrades for a while.I haven't even floored it yet. I will take my time to get to know the vehicle well and learn to manage the power first. So after the tires I am planning on some visual upgrades along with some lil features I would like to get. I like the cf front splitters from competition package very very much. I would like to change my CCC for a CIC navi. The unit is not such a pain ,but the new one truly is better.(this will be later) I will get my key programmed to close my windows ASAP(I guess due to the fact it was made for USA this is not enabled). Also I will get folding side mirrors with auto dim for sure, because it was horrible to drive in the night. The lights from all other cars' headlights strike in the eyes. I was thinking about cf lip for the trunk or the cf csl style trunk.Any suggestions on this one? Maybe I will get umnitza opaque angel eyes, the OEM ones are not bright enough for my taste.Also I dont like their color. Any other brands I should look into? All of those will take sufficient time and resources I currently dont have. But i am in no rush . I am also considering an oil cooler upgrade and racing pads after I get used to the car. Yes I am planning to get it on a track. Anything else I should check out? I don't want more HP, so do not suggest supercharging etc. Maybe an exhaust. Anyway it should stay street legal ,but bear in mind that in my country once a car is registered it is kind of street legal for life(you just can't sell it) ,so thats not really a problem. Well I am open to suggestions. So see you around. |
