Brettford's M3 Goes Blue (BIG PICS INSIDE)

swanlake · 05-25-2016, 10:47 PM

Hey guys,
So you may have seen my previous build thread (http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1190271) however I haven't updated that at all since wrapping my car in 3M Blue Raspberry. I finally got ahold of one of my buddy's cameras and got some high quality shots as the sun was going down. This is also technically my first good pictures of my new(ish) wheels, Forgestar CF5V Super Deep Concave in Brushed Clear finish. The specs are 19x10 et20 Front; 19x11 et25 Rear with Hankook Ventus V12 in 275/30/19 Front & 305/30/19 Rear. Car is lowered on Swift Road & Track springs and amazingly doesn't rub at all.

Enough words, I'll let the pics speak for themselves.

PS: I wasn't planning on doing this shoot today so the car is pretty dirty (shows the most in the wheels). It's a pretty accurate representation of how it looks on a daily basis though.

Beautiful car! Love the wheels!

The concave is so real with those wheels.

Looks stunning! I assume you were trying to match SMB, looks incredible.

Yup! I first saw San Marino on an M6 under a street light at night and I loved the depth and different shades of the color. This wrap is probably the closest I could get without a full respray. And thanks

Beautiful car!

Which front lip is that?

Thanks! It's a carbon CPS lip that I got for free because it was cracked. Epoxied, bondo'd, sanded, and painted matte black. Overall pretty happy with it.

Looking very clean! I still think blues look the best on the E92 M3.

You are biased.
Me too.

Picked up a Type III diffuser today and some Hankook Ventus V12 tire stickers courtesy of Tirestickers.com! I'll be in the M o dBargains Bimmerfest2016 booth both days this weekend so come say hi!

azndrunk74 · 05-28-2016, 12:51 AM

love the blue wrap. the tire stickers are a nice touch as well - well done!

swanlake · 06-02-2016, 12:31 AM

Some shots from Bimmerfest 2016 with my fellow booth cars! Had a great first time as a booth car and it was nice to meet mashimarho after seeing him on the forums for so long!

On another note, I had my resonators removed a couple days back and wow is it loud. I almost feel guilty about the cold start volume when the cutouts are open, but I guess that's why I have the option to close them haha.

Don N. · 08-22-2016, 11:25 AM

Awesome pictures. I really dig the wheels.

Flying Ace · 08-22-2016, 07:07 PM

any more info on your cutouts?
