Santorini Blue M3 x BBS x Eventuri x more...

SupremePower1 · 01-28-2020, 10:11 PM

Starting the New Year off with some new modifications for my Santorini Blue M3. Purchased the car with Volks. Liked them but didn't love them. Wanted something to compliment the Blue color a bit more. So decided to go with the BBS RIA in Gold. Paired these up with Michelins and ran 5mm spacers front and rear to dial in fitment.

Carbon was up next and the rear needed some love, so added a M Performance Spoiler accompanied by the ECS Tuning Front Splitters. Carbon Mirror Caps are potentially on the list but holding off for the time being.

The car came with Akra Evo Exhaust but wanted more induction noise which is what gives the S65 such a unique sound. Got the Evnenturi plenum to start, will need to check out a friend's setup before going full intake as well.

More to come, just don't know what yet.

Excellent stuff! Tastefully done. I love the gold w/ blue. New M2 CS does a great job of utilizing this color combo as well. Fitment is perfect, no problems running the 5mm spacers? Any pictures of the carbon plenum?

No issues with the spacers. They are so tiny. Used to running 18/15mm on my E46. This was done just to dial in fitment.

Photo attached of the plenum!

What's the sound difference with the plenum?

A lot more induction noise. Very apparent under load. The combination of this + The Akra is pretty heavenly. I don't know how else I would make the car sound better at this point.

What are the wheel and tire specs?

SupremePower1 · 02-03-2020, 07:55 PM

BBS RIA - GOLD
F: 18x9.5 +27 - 265/35/18 - Michelin PS4 (5mm Spacers)
R: 18x10.5 +25 - 285/35 - Michelin PS4

Running our 5mm Spacers front and rear to an effective +22 up front and +20 in the rear. All about dialing in that perfect fitment.

We ordered an extra set while we were grabbing them from Japan.

Love your color/wheel combination!

I just ordered a set of RIA's from Slicer in Diamond Silver. 10.5/11 (pretty wide compared to my current 9.5/10.5). Between this thread and all of Slicer's pics I had to pick up a set lol.

ccbl · 02-04-2020, 02:13 AM

really awesome mods. Love the plenum!

automotiveaperture · 02-20-2020, 11:08 AM

Great setup! Would love to hear the cabin sound of the plenum plus Akra I'd you happen to have any video, have been thinking about this setup as well.

SupremePower1 · 02-20-2020, 07:28 PM

I can try to shoot some this weekend. Will have sometime Sunday.
