Oh ya. I actually hear the plenum first and then the exhaust. I'm waiting for haimus to release their carbon elbow and intake cover. I think those 2 pieces will add to the sound

Went through all 798 pages of this thread and just finished today. Took me a couple weeks but now I have all the inspiration I need as to how I’ll mod my 08.

They are a staggered fitment. Medium Disk fronts 19x10+16 super low disk rears 19x10.5+18.

these are money!

Cool, please update on sound when you get it. Curious how much louder it gets.

Aww, that's super lame. The nerve of some people. Hope it's not too bad.

Replaced the headlight housings, new DS1 Philips 5K bulbs, and went for a night drive to test it all out.

Just curious how come you didn’t just replaced the lens?
I have like a weird haziness over my headlights and replacing the lens will be in the future to refresh the look

I didn't want to have down time so I ordered new and will sell the old set. Also didn't want to deal with the possibility of a bad seal on the lens and have condensation.

Drove the M3 through there a couple weeks ago with the fam… my favorite drive, fall colors were incredible.

I need info on your trunk/boot. I like where the plate is its CF, did it come like that? I need the brand so I can pick one up. Thanks

It's an Amuse-style carbon fiber trunk by VIS Racing.

It's painted Space Gray with the plate area and the ridge of the high-kick left exposed carbon fiber and cleared.

DirtyM3 · 10-26-2021, 08:30 PM

Just test fitting to see the fitment on the tires. I think I went just a bit too wide in the fronts. 265/35/19. Should've stayed at 245 or 255 to clear the fender liner. The fronts are 19x10+16 on continental extreme contact sports. Rears are 19x10.5+18 275/35/19

The front can fit with some more negative camber.
