ArthurL's E93 M3 Progress Thread

Some more pics from yesterday

I had finally had the chance to swap my summer wheels on. It's nothing special but I think the anthracite/gunmetal color makes the 220s much more aggressive and appealing. Here are some pics:

looking good Arthur, even though would love to see you put some aftermarket wheels on.

I will send you a pm regarding your headlight as i might potentially be interested in them

Thanks avantegardestyle , I would love some aftermarket wheels as well. I hope I can find a set I like. These are just going on for the time-being as I can't ride on my winters forever.

And sure, let me know about the headlight.

These came in the other day. Pretty excited to throw these on.

Had B&G lowering springs installed on the car this morning along with 18mm spacers up front and 15mm spacers in the rear. Pretty happy with the end result!

Nice! I'm thinking of doing springs and spacers someday as well. Are you thinking of getting LCI tails at some point? Would change the whole look of the rear!

Snapped this pic on Roosevelt Island shortly after the install. For those in NYC, definitely check it out. It has some pretty nice views of the city.

Yeah I'm definitely looking at picking up LCI tails somewhere down the line. It makes a huge difference!

Springs and spacers are worth it! With my setup, I don't rub at all. It's a nice subtle drop and the spacers finishes it off nicely as well!

I had a shop do the install. I was too nervous to try and do it alone because if it's not aligned correctly and you try and close it you can chip the paint around the trunk. That and mine had really poor fitment so they had to reinforce it in the center section because it was bulging in the middle and cause a large gap at the top.
