Yes. Farah switches off between Malibu and Angels Crest Highway. Very lucky to be able to enjoy the M3 on these roads. Gotta be safe though, cops have been cracking down on people going to the Snake (a well known stretch of Mulholland Hwy). Check out https://www.youtube.com/user/rnickeymouse to see the antics.

How do the KW kit feel compare to stock? Thinking of going the same rout.

Only put it on yesterday but the bigger bumps feel sharper whereas the smaller bumps feel smoother. its weird. i kind of prefer the feel of the stock ride (no EDC). Maybe i just have to get used to it.

I visited LA about a month ago and one of the things I wanted to do was drive Mulholland Drive. Man what a great piece of road, like a roller coaster! I used a car rental app called Turo (like Uber but ppl rent out their personal cars to users) and had a like new 428i sport pkg convertible to drive the Socal mountain roads and the Pacific Coast Hwy in, wasn't a M3 but was still a blast to drive top down of course You guys are so lucky to have such amazing driving roads. The canyon and mountain roads and the tracking/car scene there really make me want to move from flat boring South Florida.

How was Turo!? Thinking about making a trip down to LA in the near future, have heard pretty good things so far. Would love to do this

I'm on a rattle hunt. Started with the lining in the trunk and working my way up front, placing felt tape where I suspect the sources of the rattles are. It's driving me nuts!

Does anyone know how to remove the black, plastic "tub" that holds the inflator/tire sealant kit? Removing all the nuts does not loosen it enough to be removed.

Glad you got to enjoy. Its more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow! My car before the M3 had 160hp but was still plenty fun in the canyons. If any members are in LA and want a tour of the Malibu canyons I'd be happy to volunteer

Installed my iND custom painted (Jerez Black) interior trim kit today. Looks pretty good with the beige extended leather. Glad to be rid of the wood grain.

Thank you! It definitely brings the frontend back to life. IMHO, this facelift is on par with the F82. It's aggressive but still flows with the body lines.

I washed, I clay'd (first time I ever clay'd a car), and I put a coat of wax on.
I put black out hood vents, black out kidney grills, and Angel Eyes on.

takes me so long to clay, but it so worth it. the paint is usually super smooth after the wax!

Thanks bro, wheels are Custom AG F522, super concave. 20x9.5f ; 20x11f. Offsets are maxed right before Fenders would need rolling. No rubbing, even when I'm aired out.

I clayed the CF roof, hood, front bumper and both doors near the door handles. Because I figured I would like to feel my work at least at the door handles.
