As some of you may know, I sold my 2008 E92 M3 in July and ordered one of the last E90 M3 sedans ever to be made. My production was set for August and my delivery date is sometime this week. Before I sold my E92, I attended my first track event and got totally hooked, so expect this car to be a little less show and more go this time around

Instead of making various threads about the modifications that I will do to the car, I decided to just make this build thread and update it with pictures as I go along. Phase 1 mods are already here waiting for the car. Phase 2 and 3 will come shortly knowing me.

2011 E90 M3 | Interlagos Blue | Speed cloth | 6MT | stripped

1. KW sleeve over kit
2. BBS CH 19x10 ET20 square setup with 275/30-19 Vredestein Sessanta
3. Magnaflow rear section exhaust
4. Macht Schnell drop in filter
5. OEM Performance gloss grills
6. IND gloss black fender grills
7. Suede wrapped interior trim and door panels
8. ACM angel eye LED upgrade and gloss blackout

--

Near future: X-pipe, pulley kit, ESS flash tune, BBK, Recaros, and ultimately supercharger

What type of exhaust does the white sedan have?

Great tire in the dry, not the best in the rain.

them too, but 24 hours with them on and they are for sale here: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=667478

I don't know what it is, they just don't flow with the theme of the car. I feel like I can only pull off silver, brushed, or black on this car. My AW coupe was able to pull off more looks than this IB - very tricky color.

Updated page 1 with some new pics.

What doesn't flow is the fact that they are 20's. Too big for the bimmer IMHO. Let the ISF folk have their donk. Keep the M looking more performance and less bling. Also, a brushed silver or actually bronze!.. might look better on there.

Just my 2 cents.

You know what.. I agree. They are coming off and some 19s or even 18s are coming back on.

Thanks Martin.

They look great, but too big for my taste (and these roads).

Car looks REALLY great! Just curious, do you rub in the front with the square setup (BBS CH) when turning or going into driveways? You posted that you are running a 10mm spacer in the rear. Any spacers in the front?

Thanks!

No rubbing at all with the CHs and those 275/30/19 tires. No spacer on the front, ET20 on a 19x10 front is flush. :thumbsup:
