Nice, ILB is pretty awesome on this car! You might have sold me on the performance spoiler.

Yeah, the performance spoiler sets it off. Probably do a rear diffuser at some point.

Congrats guys! It looks like I'm a couple of weeks behind you waiting for my E92 AW M3... she's due in Baltimore on the ship "Honor" on 2/27 and then however long it takes to get to Cincinnati from there. The anxiety is really building now!

So i finished up the Lux angel eyes, IND color match reflector and tried to install the kidney grills but they were too big. Looks like they dont fit after all. I think im going to order the oem M3 grills but kind like the chrome kidney look too. Goes well with the wheels. What do you guys think?

Here are some shots i took today while driving around.

Looking great! What grills did you get that were too big? What tires came on them? Continental?

Yes it came with the Continentals. Tires feel really really nice to be honest. Very smooth and comfortable ride. Even my wife thinks so.

I have the blacked out kidney grills from my 2011 335XI with M-Sport. I thought that they may fit since it was the LCI but nope.. too small.

IDK if i want to swap em out though... kinda completes the look with the wheels and gills. What do you think?

The car looks amazing as is. It's all matter of personal preference. I personally am going all carbon fiber. I want everything to match. I have the front grills, side gills, hood vents all from IND. They are amazing quality and can't wait to put them on the car! They will match the CFroof and CF BMW spoiler nicely. Are your Lux 5000 or 6500k? Have any night shots? I have the 6500k. Ur M looks amazing bro, keep it up!

Congrats again, you should do the DIY for Radar Detector install vs. using the lighter socket with cords sticking out. The V1 DIY wire tap method via fuse box works well and is easy once you're in there messing around.

Totally agree. I saw a thread on that the other day. Looks very clean. One thing at a time lol

I do however have a Vishnu tune and meth kit on its way now. I plan to order a challenge xpipe this week too.

Yeah i am still semi on the fence about it. I had a 335xi with the vishnu tune and meth kit. The meth kit was only a month old. for a small fee, Vishnu upgraded my N55 Procede 2.5 V 3 tune into a M3 V3 tune and altered my slightly used meth kit to work with the M3. So for less than $500, i got a tune and meth kit which should add considerable gains.

I have however been considering selling the tune and meth kit and just getting an ESS tune but the gains wont be the same.

TBH, the Procede tune for my N55 was pretty damn good.

Yea, for the N55, Vishnu and JBs were all you would get. No question. However, I'd be surprised if the Vishnu pkg delivered major documented gains and no one here was onto it. Then again, there's always a first.

I did a quick search and the Vishnu tune was mentioned to deliver 10hp on its own, which isn't much.

In any case, share your data when you get it because it would be a seemingly new thing if Vishnu Tune + Meth for $500 would net more than 20hp - 25hp in rwhp.

Ok. I am now sorta having second thoughts after also consulting some friends. You may just see it in the fs section soon lol.

Gentleman. Just wanted to throw out there that i absolutely love my M3. It is such a joy and pleasure to drive. I had a 335 before that was pretty modded and was afraid the M3 would feel "slower". Well it doesn't. I notice a little less torque but the car/engine is way more responsive.

All i want to do is drive now.. any excuse to go anywhere. I am so happy i got this last year production. Well worth it.

Hope you are all enjoying your M3's as much as i am.
