yes, most are other then engine and suspension components.

what accessories are you looking at?

I like the small rear deck spoiler actually and the black grilles. Still looking around though!

Zoominrex · 08-12-2009, 01:40 AM

do you guys think the rear sits lower in the vert than the others due to the excess weight of the retracted hood? It looks like it sits higher to me in the front. Due to this I was thinking of getting H&R fronts and Eibach rear springs. Is this a bad idea?

Black grilles are the same for the M3 E90/E92/E93.

Congrats on the new M! The wheels look perfect.

Thanks! Springs, black grilles, painted reflectors, CDV, and a short shifter are already on their way and maybe a clear bra if I can save up a bit more. That will be it for now. At least thats what I tell myself.

I don't think a CDV is necessary on the M3. EAS took a look at this and others have too. See this link

I'll be interested in the look/performance the springs provide. Did you decide to go "mixed brand" to get the front/rear drop you're looking for?

I had not looked around in awhile (a month or two), but it appeared that only H&R have an actual part number for the E93 M3. Eibach's part number for the E93 is the same as the E92--I read that as they haven't created a specific spring for the extra 400 pounds on the vert. It would probably work, but I'd want to go with spring rates/etc. specifically designed for the vert. If you have a different take on this let me know.
