Project: AW///M3 - Photo Buildup

1036E90M · 03-18-2010, 01:59 AM

Alright guys, the iND painted reflectors finally came in

. Was seriously looking to get rid of the orange reflectors so here we go:

-Thanks Andrew@iND!

Definitely loving the clean look here, do have a couple notes...but of course nothing to really write home about.

The painted markers are a 99.5% perfect fit, they did seem to lift up a bit on the inner corners on both sides of the car, they're an OEM part though so my guess is that they just need to be on the ride to settle in. I'm extremely happy though and feel that they're a definite MUST to have.

AND...the big parts that got here earlier than expected! Teasers...because I'm not slapping them on until I get a drop which is also coming soon.

-Thanks Eric@PySpeed!... for convincing me over last weekend to just have a quick wheel and tire package

. I'm surprised these actually came this fast...kinda begs me to get this girl lowered!

-And yes, running on Yokohama Advan's AD-08s and Alufelgen SF-71s Matte Blacks! I'm happy that the wheel and tires (for now..) provided came with TPMS as well.

Specs: 245/35/19F, 275/30/19R

Cheers!

Nice wheel/tire package! You're doing a good job of modding your M3.

As long as the wallet and wifey can keep up, lol!

Those are some great photos. Nice choice on the akra. Maybe I'll see you around town

Ha, that's funny...great mods though!!

1036E90M · 03-26-2010, 09:25 PM

great

, got that CEL today... at least I've got some better news and updates? will post shortly.

John Tanglewood · 03-26-2010, 09:44 PM

is that from the Akra you think??

1036E90M · 03-26-2010, 09:50 PM

The much anticipated CEL right? :\

I've heard there is a solution to this problem but if anyone has any better suggestions, well... this will in time annoy me greatly. Help?

Anyway onto better news, I got her dropped on KW V3s thanks to the boys at Rennspec! Completely excellent work! I would like to mention that I've had KWs in the past and had always loved the ride...same applies here. Not too stiff, but definitely feeling more confident during curvy on/off ramps

. Pomonians are next to Carbon Canyon and getting distance in the hills is actually pretty easy.

Went with a conservative drop since I'm not a fan of rubbing or trying to roll a fender that can't be rolled. I have room for adjustment, but I'm happy for now.

I'm feeling like a dark tint would do well with the matte black SF-71s but we'll see. I'm loving the black/white look so far.

Enjoy! Not too sure what else is next with MFEST around the corner!

klammer · 03-26-2010, 10:56 PM

1036E90M · 03-30-2010, 02:34 AM

Have you had a remap??
When I had my Akra fitted, Evolve's remap cured the CEL.

isugoo · 03-30-2010, 11:15 PM

I ordered SF71 in black for my AW E90 as well. Can't wait to get them installed!

M3twins · 03-30-2010, 11:19 PM

Steering wheel... Looks nice!

constantin · 03-31-2010, 10:59 AM

Nice car Andy,

I just live around the corner from you and have a e90 M as well. Gotta meet up sometime.

BulletproofM · 03-31-2010, 11:21 AM

Looks like a great project! Did you ever get the CEL worked out? The Akrapovic is my favorite exhaust for the M3. Amazing quality!
