SG E92 M3 - KW Clubsport - IPE Valvetronic - ESS Tune
After parting with my Melbourne Red M3, I ended up ordering another M3, Space Gray with Fox Red interior. I knew this time I had to do it right, a nice farewell to this final generation of the M3 coupe.
Right away I knew the 3 most important modifications I would seek were Exhaust, Suspension, & a Tune. I did not want to compromise this time around, and wanted to go after, what I felt, were the best parts out there. I started with the exhaust, and worked with Rich @ GTB Performance. I went with a Challenge Race X pipe, as I felt this time around I would go with resonators to reduce some rasp. Paired with the stock mufflers, it was a great sound, but I wanted more. I mated the X pipe to the IPE Valvetronic Exhaust. This quickly became my favorite modification on the vehicle. The sound is intoxicating. I went with an ESS tune with the new E-Flash cable. (again thanks Rich @ GTB Performance and the guys at ESS) Very easy to use, and the performance gain is very noticeable, and the car revs up much quicker. Finally it was time for a suspension. It took me about two months until I finally decided. I did not want to do springs this time around, as I felt it did not do much for me on my previous M3. I narrowed it down to the KW Clubsports, and went searching for the best vendor. For this I have to thank Hendrick @ Baan Velgen. He put up with my daily emails filled with questions, and answered each one accurately, quickly, and was very patient. After over a week I finally pulled the trigger and he shipped it out to me quickly. There was a missing part (not his fault) but Hendrick & Baan Velgen went out of their way to get the part shipped out to me quickly. Truly amazing service. I will be returning to him for other orders. I don't post often, but I figured it was worth it for my last M3. I plan to add a Mode Carbon lip, and dream of an ESS Supercharger. Maybe one day? lol. |
