Couple Weeks To A Month And Change Later Car Was On The Cutting Board

Thankfully My Car Was Well Maintained And Up to Date With Oil Changes As I Only Used Redline 10W60 And Currently I've Upgraded To Motul 15w50 Expensive But Well Worth It..

Car Didnt Have Enough Back Pressure So I Then Put The ESS OEM Modded Exhaust and Car Made 380hp Surprisingly More




Last Stage Before I Decided To Do A Full Color Change On The Car









After Contemplating On Whether Or Not I Wanted To Sell The Car Due To Finding Out I Would Be Having My First Daughter, My Lady Has Always Been Supportive Of My Passion For Cars And Told Me Not To. That's When This Phase 4 Kicked In. After Going Back And Forth With Porsche To Get The Color We Wanted They Refused To Give Us The Mixture To The Color Which Was Fashion Grey. But We Made Got It As Close To It As Possible After Test Spraying A Spare Fender To Get The Color. Everything Was Done The Right Way. Fenders, Doors, Hood, Trunk, Front and Rear Windshield Removed, Sunroof. All The Work Was Done BY Proformance Industries In New Rochelle NY.

Looks great!! Maybe different in person but it looks more like a light shade of Nardo grey. When I saw my friends fashion grey, it seem like there was a touch of muddy green type of shade to the color. None the less, congrats and is the best version of your build

[EnVe46]

What an absolute beaut!

[jeff@autocouture]

Yes your right there's a time a green missing which bothers me only because Porsche was giving us a hard time but other then that it's come along way

Haha I've thought about it I spoke to Alex when I picked up the rear sway bar from him.. that's on the list but right now I'm gonn a be putting in some ohlins on the car and the blower finished up

[aldinbekk]

Dope build bro, cant wait to see it supercharged!

[Blindside_137]

Holy sh..

Thought it was going to be a wrap, damn that full paint looks spectacular. Excellent color choice for the E90 body style. I particularly like the headlight washer delete. God I hate those things.

[blast1st]

[Calvin36]

What a car and what a gal! Love supportive spouses. Keep up the good work my man!

[Grey Dove]

[KillaM3]

Thank you fellas appreciate it I know the car need some low going with ohlins that Jeff will be hooking me up with and then seats next.. gonna just have my daughter in the next couple weeks so ????

[Shmelgy]

Coolest thing about the car is that it smokes hookah

[ishowerinjager]

Great looking build!! It definitely looks a little bit like nardo but it also has some fashion grey in it as well.

Fashion grey has some beige in it in most lights.
It also looks very different on a sunny day vs a cloudy day.


Not trying to hijack the thread but it’s good for comparison. Let me know if you want me to delete the post.

This is my fashion grey 340i

Nah no worries I explained in the thread how Porsche wouldn't give us the exact mixture unless we had an actual registration but even then when I provided them with a friend of mines reg. They wanted to only provide it to an authorized body shop which is completely ridiculous. I'm sure The individual F80 M3 and F30's mixtures are given to BMW corporate to make the customers colors idk why they were being so picky we got it as close as we can with out the tint of green which actually I'm glad it didn't have it I feel like I would get a little tired and limit my color combo choices

For example the last picture that's how the car looks 80% of the time unless it's in really super bright light the pictures don't do it justice

[GRUESOM3]
