UNNATRAL's M3 build is finally done!! - feedback on ESS system

Brosef · 02-14-2011, 01:43 PM

those BBS FI's are sick! but, if I may, I would suggest you lower the rear of the car a little bit. the 285/35 rears are so tall that they upset the rake of the car (i.e. makes it lean forward).

Well for me I got 10 no front plate tickets with my previous cars over 4 years so I finally put it on to stop getting hassled. Also I go and take photo's on the regular so I always take the plate off when doing a shoot. I could photoshop the holes out but would rather not. I know what you mean tho, it does look better in the center of the bumper but the plate off to the side doesnt bother me that much. When my car arrives ill do the tow hook mount to avoid hassle.

Well..for the Toronto guys who hate the front plate...I got word from a police officer who pulled me over last year for no front plate that the MTO recently decided to slowly phase out the front plate in Ontario. It will begin with commercial vehicles and slowly move into Passenger Vehicles. Not sure when, but this officer was present at this meeting and he said it is going to happen.

That would be incredible, I would be one happy enthusiast

how much does the ESS Kit affect your fuel consumption?

I have a pic of my fuel economy on the dashboard, after city driving and just after I filled up. I was getting 458km/tank, which is roughly 286miles/tank. very good mileage. Coming back from chicago I had a 951km (594mile) drive home. I filled up in chicago before I left, got to detroit on one tank, filled up just across the border in windsor, ontario, and got home, drove around for a day after, and then filled up again. So it took me two tanks to get home, and its a 60 L tank I believe so 120L = 30gallons

Amazing car

JoeSpic01 · 03-05-2011, 10:22 AM

Congrats bro! It looks amazing! I can only imagine how it drives! I did have a question for everyone. I am currently leasing a 2008 335i coupe, and my lease is up in May and I'm most likely going to be getting an M3. Because I only drive about 10k miles per year and because I don't like worrying about maintenance and because I generally like to get a new car every 3 years, what is everyones thoughts on putting the ESS kit on a leased M3? Does anyone know if this voids the lease agreement? My thoughts would be to put the kit on right after taking delivery of the lease, and then taking it off when I go to turn the lease in, and then most likely selling the kit on Ebay or something. What do you guys think?

MidnightM3 · 03-05-2011, 11:47 AM

Stunning! Congrats!
