There are most often 4 holes because someone used screws that are too long to mount the license plate to the plate holder!

That's exactly what happened.

I used a combination of two different 3M tapes.

The tires are Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, 255/35/19 and 275/35/19.

Update 1/14/24

Hit 18k miles.

Took advantage of the rebate KW was having and ordered a set of KW HAS.

Now I'm able to dial in the height exactly how I want. The springs feel great in all modes, very comfortable, and smooth. I took it up my local twisty road and the car handles great. I can't find anything negative to say about them so far besides the installation being a bit more involved, having a press will save you a lot of time. No clunking, or weird noises, quiet and smooth so far.

Little things make a nice difference. Chrome delete mission in full force.

Car looks great!

Car looks amazing brother

[GcD]

Very clean, nice M3!

[jiggz]

Nice work deleting chrome. Did you do the IND painted roundels as well? If not, I recommend

Thanks brother, I always thought the IND roundels looked great but I was always hesitant to drop nearly 3 bills on such a subtle change, then again it's all in the little details. Why did you have to remind me, now I'll be that much poorer.

Yah they're spendy, and most would look at them and think 'not worth it' but I've got them on all my BMWs. Once you see them in person and install them, I think you'll be happy you bought them, they really do look sweet, much better than the OEM roundel with the chrome edge.

1/24/24

Haimus Racing 1:1 GTS Lip arrived from Bulgaria, they quoted a 4-8 week lead time and it was pretty accurate.

Packaging was done very well, with no damage. Lots of bubble wrap outside and the lip was wrapped in a very soft blanket inside.





Test fitment.





Installed it using OEM BMW pop rivets. This thing isn't going anywhere. (famous last words)





The fitment is very good, everything lined up nicely with minimal gaps, I'm quite impressed with this lip so far, I had a 360Carbon 1:1 GTS lip as well and the finish on this Haimus Racing one is nicer overall.








Overall very happy to have the OEM GTS look without the $5k pricetag.

Dan, the car looks superb! Loving the tasteful mods, totally drooling over this picture:

Nice Dan!

I had one of the 360carbon GTS lips and I miss it. I had it on for about 2 drives, hit a cone during a spin at Laguna Seca and it was gone. hah.

I'm waiting for Ridgeline Motorsports to release their ABS version and see what kind of pricing they will offer it at.

Whooaa didn't know a company was going to make an ABS 1:1 version, that would be ideal and I'd definitely be interested.

1/30/24 - Autosolutions SSK by Ronald Aractingi

Knocked out my Autosolutions shifter install today, I had this exact kit installed on one of my previous M3s, specs are 12 percent throw reduction, 10mm increased height, and 80A bushings. The increased height works great for extra leverage, this configuration feels perfect for an OE+ experience, throws are short with rifle bolt action and negligible difference in effort. Can't express how much I love this shifter.





Autotecknic gloss black hood vents installed while we're at it.

[wyatth]

2/2 there ... Great touches. Every 6MT cars needs an AS or Rogue SSK.

Keep an eye on RidgelineMotorsports. Looks like they will be making an ABS 6pc. Hopefully!



Also glad that Ronald is still making them! Will be sad when he retires.
