New M3 Owner - Mods so far

Hello all.

2 Weeks ago i sold my Audi S5 and a few days later i flew to NJ to purchase my "new" 2009 M3 Coupe and drove her home to Michigan.



So far i have modded a few things to my liking
  • Clear Reflectors
  • 35 Percent Tint
  • Mounted Valentine V1 Under Mirror
  • Updated Nav Maps 2012
  • Installed Bumper Plugs
  • Purchased a spare set of 220M wheels

Future mods
  • Musicar Subwoofer box
  • Sirius Radio add on
  • Lux H8 V3

I drove the S5 because i wanted a nice sport car with AWD and great looks, i now have the M3 because i realize the S in S5 stands for slow, and the M in M3 Stands for MONSTER

I Love this vehicle, i only wish i would have purchased it sooner.

I debated that, think the plaint match looks tacky IMO, clear feels a bit more stock.

Thanks!

Thank you!

Anytime its gloomy out it makes the tint look darker, you can see through pretty easily. I went with a light tint because i love to see the red novillo interior!

Thanks everyone! Glad to be apart of the forum

Nice upgrade! My decision was also between a new S5 and M3, I drove both back to back twice and just decided that although the S5 was SUCH a nice overall car, it was just too safe. No real FUN to be had in that car... I do wish the volume knob on the M3 was where it was on the S5 and that we had those center console cup holders, haha...

Enjoy!
