Straight Murdered Jerez E93 in So Cal

Vredestain Ultrac Sessanta Tires 245/35/19(F) 275/30/19(R)

Future Mods:

Hamann Windshield Decal(for Shows)
Advan or Hamann Wheel Caps
Hamann Racing Shifter
Hamann CF Eyelids
Blacked Out Lip-Matte or Gloss (?)
Technocraft Envy Charge Pipe

Now for the questions to you guys:

QUESTION 1:
The Advan Rims come capless. I think they need caps.
3 options:
***Advan Caps (custom order and they are silver)
***BMW Carbon Fiber Caps (have to get custom extender to fit)
***Hamann Wheel Caps(best color IMO, but maybe too much Hamann?)

QUESTION 2
Do the rear tires look big enough for the rims and wheel well? They are 275/30/19. I’m thinking I might need to run 10’ spacers all around to push the wheels out slightly wider to make it a bit more aggressive? Thoughts?

QUESTION 3
Is the Chrome lip played out? Should I darken it completely to Matt or Gloss Black? I want to keep the Advan Racing insignia (in white)no matter what. And I definitely prefer the murdered look above all else. These rims and their chrome lip though, have grown on me quickly in just 3 days.

They are amazingly light, strong and make the car perform a whole lot better on turns, lane switching and aggressive driving. A very worthwhile investment to improve over OEM.

I had them installed at Rennspec in El Monte. Jason and Gary are absolutely GREAT PEOPLE and a pleasure to work with. They really understand the Mod Game and do quality work. My spacers didn't have anti-seize when originally installed and they had to methodically use a rubber mallet to get them off without damaging the rest of the rim. It took em extra time but they didn't rush it and everything turned out superb!

I truly appreciate your input and thoughts positive or negative.

Happy Holidays!

you forgot to get rid of the chrome lining! but looks goood

Bateman · 03-16-2009, 01:03 AM

Where did you get the wheel caps?

Oh yeah, nice ride too!

Cuban///M3 · 03-16-2009, 01:06 AM

looks good...but id tint the front windows...looks kinda weird with the rear windows so dark

Takumi587 · 03-16-2009, 01:06 AM

Ya you gotta change the chrome! I gotta see this car in person though to give you an honest opinion. I do not think your pics do it justice. If you are in the Irvine area go to the meets! haha.

And what do you got on the inside?

Agreed.

It's coming this week. I described it as "Blacked out Chrome Trim-Vinyl" in Mods Soon.

CNice · 03-16-2009, 01:17 AM

its amazing how horrible the chrome lining looks.. the fully blacked out tails are whatever.. you should smoke just the clear portion...

BIG PROPS TO Vincent at EUROREV! best place in town for getting mods done.. super cool, friendly and best prices in town!

What do you mean "smoke the clear portion"? You mean the front headlights?

The Chrome trim is ridiculous. No doubt. But EuroRev couldn't get it done this past week. Hopefully this week.

Thanks for your input.

SHADY1 · 03-16-2009, 01:34 AM

Your vert is going to look sick when you are done. I had no idea there was a hamann trunk replica spoiler out

Most of my Hamann stuff is real and cost me $$$$

I could have saved so much money and used it towards other mods

Hey do you plan on putting on a Hamann front lip spoiler?

where did you order the Monochrome M3 trunk badge

keep up the mods your M3 is looking good nice color combo on your vert

montreal red · 03-16-2009, 02:42 AM

dont do the hamann rear spoiler, your M looks better without it!

rsmamg · 03-16-2009, 02:44 AM

+1 on the chrome lining. thats gotta go

MDCTFTW · 03-16-2009, 02:44 AM

You need matte black rims ... not gloss.

They are not gloss. Semi(Satin--they look great)

Matte is not the answer for Jerez due to it's chamelion abilities.

I really wish there was an agressive Spoiler made for the E93. Really nothing.

I think this picture with the Hamann spoiler is very clean and it will make my car stand out from the crowd. JMO.

McLuVan · 03-16-2009, 03:04 AM

don't do the spoiler my man!
the car is already sick!

GuyOh · 03-16-2009, 03:47 AM

tint on the front windows is illegal in CA

boostedtwin · 03-16-2009, 05:37 AM

The H&R looks lower on your car. I wonder if this is due to the extra weight on E93? So far so good.

bavarian19 · 03-16-2009, 06:11 AM

Nice reflectors

j/k... looks great!

monsta · 03-16-2009, 08:07 AM

looks good, definitely change the crome trim and tint that front windows
