Santorini Blue E92 M3 Build Journal

Journal Entry #3 01/28/22

Took a while to update this, and lots to talk about. Finally installed the wheels installed as well as the coilovers, love how the car sits. In theory I could go lower, but I think for the moment this is good. I feel it has a low-key aggressive DTM style stance. Ride is significantly improved with the Ohlins, and the wider tire sizes / larger tire profile give the car noticeably improved grip… absolutely in love with the the handling now. Additionally I was able to get my hands on a satin carbon Eventuri plenum and intake which sounds glorious paired with a test pipe. Not obnoxiously loud that the neighbors hate you, but loud enough to make you enjoy the car as opposed to the near electric car silence of a stock E9x.

Poster worthy Evolve gear. I hope Imran sees this.

It's so clean, give us more updates, can't wait to find out more. How much did you pay for it, and how in the world you found a 9k miles

Looks great!

DirtyM3 · 02-01-2022, 12:08 AM

Much much love the update. I just got my V2 lip today. I like this style better than the crimson chin GT4.

BSM n54iS · 02-02-2022, 12:20 PM

Clean AF!!

mtlblaue36 · 02-02-2022, 03:37 PM

DiegoM3sa · 02-02-2022, 04:53 PM

Yeah its great particularly because it curves all the way to the edge of where the front wheel well starts. The V1 is a few inches short.

Love how the satin plenum all looks OEM from a distance.

Build is so classy.

Appreciate it, that was the goal with going satin! Nothing wrong with the Gloss Plenum its gorgeous, but I just wanted to build a car that doest shout aftermarket/modified at you.

Lots of work planned for the interior, don't love the Silverstone color scheme so might buy black panels and get some custom trimmed sporters.

bkardash · 05-10-2022, 11:08 PM

That color! 10/10

slightlyfastermobile · 06-10-2022, 12:22 AM

Everyone’s talking about the car… nice house!

But that’s a really nice color car too. Was only looking to buy a basic, silvery color but now I just might consider looking for something like this.
