The stance is perfect. Nicely done!

Damn nice car and mods! Did you roll your fenders?

Sweet ride TLud, once I get my M we Houstonians need to hook up for some fun...

iceriver · 03-01-2010, 01:47 AM

where is the sticker on the bbk?

Joris · 03-01-2010, 07:38 AM

That's fantastic!!

It's my favorite //M3

MrHarris · 03-01-2010, 07:46 AM

Hey Tlud, can you post closer up pictures of your exhaust/diffuser?

Also, do you rub with your 255/35's up front on full lock?

Sweet looking ride, your mods are so tastefully done. Very clean and sophisticated look.

Definitely! Can't wait to see your beast when it's finished. Maybe I can even get a ride...

I didn't like the StopTech logo, so I removed them when I repainted the calipers.

Thanks. I've attached the only other close-up pic I have of my exhaust/diffuser. When the weather clears up this week, I'll take some more and post them up for you.

No rubbing up front on full lock with the RACs (19x9 w/ ET 22), 255/35/19 Vredesteins, and Eibachs.

Here are some pics of Tom's diffuser that I took at a meet a few months back. His car is such a stunner in person.

And another showing that beautiful wheel/bumper combo.

Alex@Alpine · 03-01-2010, 10:54 AM

Very nice

MrHarris · 03-01-2010, 11:27 AM

Can the exhaust come out any more to be flush with the diffuser or is that it?

Bob MG · 03-01-2010, 01:00 PM

Nice car buddy congrats on COTM!
How's your decision to go SC?

biglare · 03-02-2010, 12:52 AM

Congrats on COTM Tom!

Yes, now you need to do a S/C for sure!

NeoE46 · 03-02-2010, 12:59 AM

Congrats on COTM Tom!!! Car looks awesome, especially in person.

NiVeDh · 03-02-2010, 10:39 PM

That's a good looking M3. Congrats on COTM.

That's the way it comes, and the tips are not adjustable. The tips are slightly tucked when cold, but expand and extend beyond the diffuser when warmed up.

Thanks, guys. S/C is almost definitely in this car's future, but the wife and I are upgrading the house in the next few months, so I'm saving the cash for that right now.

From hearing your descriptions and those of others with the ESS kit, there really doesn't seem to be any downside to the supercharger (unless having too much power can be called a downside

). I'm sold; it's only a matter of time.

Thanks! Now that you've got your wheels on, we'll have to do a group photo shoot of the Houston RAC club.
