"New Mods" KW Clubsport & BBS LM-R

TeKNiC3 · 02-17-2013, 02:25 AM

Was against going with a set of 20" wheels for a while...but couldn't pass up a set of 20" BBS LM-R in Diamond Black with the Amuse offsets. These replaced a set of HRE P40S in Dinan specified offsets.

Also picked up a KW Clubsports from Sonic Tuning. I was going to do the install myself but ended up having Alekshop complete the installation. I am getting lazy.

I had a set of Dinan stage 2 suspension prior on EDC strut/shocks.

The ride is much stiffer than I was hoping for but it does seem to loosen up the more I drive my car. I may be just getting used to the stiffness.

Overall, I am happy with the current look of the wheels. Verdict is still out on the ride, but the car sure does corner much flatter.

EDIT: Well, I made a change to 19" again. I feel the 20", aside for the looks, is overkill on the street. I'm still keeping the LM-R to use every now and then. The BBS FI will be my daily driven wheels.

Here are some photos (LM-R are Below):

Alen E90 · 02-17-2013, 03:38 AM

niceeeee, they look really sikk with the csl trunk

paradocs98 · 02-17-2013, 07:52 AM

Looks good. I've always loved the LMRs. Increased ride stiffness is probably due to the 20" wheels as well, and not just the coilovers.

I would drop it a tad more. Looks great overall!

That looks incredible

kwike92 · 02-17-2013, 11:58 AM

i personally feel like 20s are too big for the m3, however your ride looks pretty fckkin sick!

rjd598 · 02-17-2013, 12:40 PM

very nice

slicer · 02-17-2013, 12:43 PM

Looks great! If the ride is too stiff, switch to 18's or 19's and adjust your suspension settings.... The beauty of coilovers is the adjustability and when the car sits lower, 18's look great IMO.
