sedan

for sure! i know you'll love your eisenmann! can't wait until you get it installed!

So yesterday, I had the chance to throw an AFE oiled filter (courtesy of ShadeM3) into the M3. Installation was self-explanatory - took all of about 10 minutes to do and the filter went on with ease. It mated up with the factory pieces flawlessly.

AFE filter install photos:

My intial impression is that it definitely SOUNDS meaner. It's a nice, cheap compliment to the Eisenmann Race exhaust for sure! As if it wasn't addicting enough to give the throttle a little blip for the exhaust alone, the filter does add a bit of growl. AFE does claim a power difference, but I am still under break in (~150 mi.), so it's really hard to gauge, but I'll be sure to keep you updated as my mileage piles on.

Such a sick color combo, and I got soo much love for the E90! When can we expect to see it on some aftermarket wheels?

HRE P40 (ShadeM3) test fit + Nitto Invo Review

So after I had the chance to shoot ShadeM3's car, we took the opportunity to test fit his HRE P40s (standard +28 offset, textured black finish). It also gave me a chance to try on the Nitto Invo tires.

Fortunately, I was able to check out how the tires behaved on both wet & dry conditions (and through a range of temperatures: ~50 - 65 degrees) yesterday and I am VERY pleased to report that the Invos really do their job - even in pretty heavy rain. His set up was a 255/xx/20 (front) / 285/xx/20 (rear).

Here is a link to the Invo's technology page:
http://www.nittotire.com/#index%2Eti...o%2Etechnology

Not only does the tire LOOK menacing and performance oriented, but it definitely performs like a champ. The tire is very quiet, comfortable and I was able to corner confidently despite the heavy rain and put the power down without feeling like I would slide out of control or hydroplane. I thought that the Toyo T1Rs on my 335 were pretty good tires (especially for the money), but these Invos are in an ENTIRELY different league.

In the end, I am completely thrilled that I went with this tire for my new wheels! I can't wait until both arrive in house!!

montreal red · 10-08-2008, 09:22 AM

hre wheels look very good indeed!

eurospek · 10-08-2008, 12:28 PM

Damn Mike, those look great on there!!! I love them on there and only on the CLK63 AMG Black Series, every other car they are starting to look a little played.

Which HRE did you go with?

///M PWR 00 · 10-08-2008, 01:50 PM

Wow looks great! Post a side view!
