Space Grey Coupe with pics of before and after mods. Also pics of my bike
I finally got my M3 in after 9 long weeks of waiting. I got it last week and have been busy getting the mods I wanted done. All I can say after my first week is WOW. I love this car. I ordered it exactly the way I wanted it. I got everything I wanted and nothing I didn't. I have also been busy putting miles on it I already have 840 so far and have my appointment for service this Friday. As soon as that happens I am going to beat the shit out of this car. Here is what I got and the mods I have done. Also where I got them and the cost. I have posted lots of pics with before and after shots of the car as OEM and with Mods.
The Car: 2009 E92 M3 with 6 speed manual Space Grey with Black Leather and Carbon Leather Trim Premium Package, Technology Package and Cold Weather Package Ipod Interface, Sattelite Radio, and Enhanced Premium Sound MSRP $69,420 I paid $64,945 + tax, tag, fees = $70,583 I got it from BMW of Fremont and my sales person was Vi BMW of Fremont Tint: Formula One Pinnacle Ceramic 35% all around Paid $389 Got it from Rocky Mountain Tint in Livermore CA (they are awesome) Rocky Mountain Window Tint Springs: H&R Sport Springs 29053-1 Paid $293 + tax and shipping = $333 Got it from Advanced Speed Shop www.advancespeedshop.com installed by Ridin High Sittin Low in Tracy CA Paid $415 for install and alignment Ridin High Sittin Low Spacers: ******UPDATE******* THESE SPACERS DO NOT FIT. I DROVE FOR ALMOST 2 MONTHS BEFORE I FIGURED OUT THAT MY BACK WHEELS WERE WOBBLING BECAUSE THE SPACERS DO NOT SIT FLUSH ON THE HUB. IF YOU BOUGHT FROM THESE GUYS THEN I SUGGEST THAT YOU MAKE SURE THAT YOURS ARE SITTING CORRECTLY. SORRY FOR THE MIS INFORMATION Hub Centric 15mm all around with extended bolts Paid $139 + tax and shipping = 173 got them from Ez Accessory on Ebay EZ Accessory Ebay Store Black Grills and Clear Reflectors: Paid $109 + shipping = $129 got them from Good Stuffs 4 U on Ebay Good Stuff Ebay Store Black BMW Hood, Trunk, Wheel and Steering wheel roundels: Paid $49 + Tax and shipping = $65 Got them from Treasure Center on Ebay Treasure Center Ebay Store Black M3 Trunk emblem: Paid $39 + Tax and Shipping = $53 Got it From Lotarev Automotive on Ebay Lotarev Automotive Ebay Store The orginal red,blue,teal sticker was cheap and ugly so I went to my nearest sign shop and got some scrap vinyl in silver, white and grey and made an new one by hand. Black Side Vents: Paid $69 + Tax and Shipping =$90 Got it From Lotarev Automotive on Ebay Lotarev Automotive Ebay Store Ok so time for the pics. I hope you enjoy and I hope I already answered a lot of your questions. Thanks for taking the time to look at my car.

Wow, great post. Appreciate the time you spent noting how much and where you got your mods. Thanks for that!
quick question; on replacing the round BMW logos on the hood, trunk, and steering wheel. How are easy are the originals to remove? Can you tell me how each are attached? I hate to start just yanking on stuff. M logo on the side vent too; easy off? Thanks! |

the hood roundel is just attatched by two pegs with grommets just slide something thin under it and pry it up. I used this packaging band that comes wrapped around boxes. the trunk roundel is a little harder it has the two pegs with gormmets and 3m double sided tape. this one is a little harder but you can just pry it up with a plastic pry tool the wheel center caps are really easy they simply pop in and out. The trunk m3 emblem is very easy also. just slide some dental floss between the emblem and the car. and use a rag to clean of the glue. FIRST before you remove the old one. make sure you tape off where it is located so you know exactly where to put the new one and dont have to guess if it is straight. the steering wheel emblem is a BITCH....dont do it. i made the mistake of prying off the old one. i think you are supposed to just stick the new one on top of the old one. The side vents come with new logos and you can choose to put the red and blue ones on or the white and black ones on. they are just stickers I hope this answers your questions.. thanks for the comments and take care |
