Senpai's Jerez E90 Journal

[Senpai]

I picked up my 2008 Jerez Black E90 M3 back in early January with 52,8xx miles. The car was mostly stock when I picked it up with only an alpine stage 1 tune as well as a CIC retrofit. With the bearings replaced at 54,300 with BE bearings + ARP bolts at ACM hopefully she'll be good for a relatively trouble free future!

Your car looks amazing! Not sure how I feel about 02. But then again Shinobu makes up for it.

Thank you! I've had my dream build planned out that once I got her I couldn't hold back. As for the spacers I haven't had any issues with wobble even at high speed. They're the motorsports hardware 15mm fronts and ECS tuning 25mm rears.

Love seeing clean builds like this! Glad you made it come true!

Maybe ill give those a try, I have BMS 18mm fronts and I get pretty bad wobble/vibration at speed, maybe i'll give those a try.

Anyways keep us updated on any new mods!

Spacers usually are not the culprits of vibration but merely amplify the issue. I'm running 18/20 without any issues but prior to roadforce balancing, I was plagued with vibrations.

Yeah that's what I've been reading. I just got my wheels road force balanced and that fixed most of the vibration. I ordered powerflex black thrust arm bushings, hopefully those will fix the rest!
