I've had the opportunity to get a few things done on the car, largely cosmetic, so I thought I would share. The first was fitting up a set of Eibach Pro Kit springs. A tame drop but nonetheless I think it looks a bit better than stock. I'm quite happy with it and it seems to be compatible with EDC. It is a little flatter through the corners and the ride is still quite civilised.

I switched out the halogen globes in the angel eyes to LEDs - I much prefer the 'clean' white look they provide. The old pre-LCI tail lights were ditched in favour of the LCI versions - it certainly updates the appearance of the M3. Topping things off is a genuine BMW carbon lip - this ties in beautifully with the carbon roof and carbon mirror caps.

I was not much of a fan of the stock 19" wheels so those had to go. Deciding on the right set is always a bit of a minefield but I have a thing for the cross-spoke style on BMWs. I decided to take a punt of a set of VMR 810s. They do get a good rap in the US and I quite liked the look of them. In my opinion they are a well made wheel and the finish is very good - I'm more than happy with the decision to go with them. I've gone for gloss gun metal 19 X 9.5" and 19 X 11.0" with 265/35 X 19 and 295/30 X 19. I was a little apprehensive with the rear setup but they have mostly worked out. I do get very minor rub when going over a big dip with 2 up but it is restricted to just the arch liner. Nothing that the Dremel can't fix ..... But they do look so good and those rear arches are certainly filled out!
