Nice retro fit, but I don't think you'll have enough slack with the shift boot either, it is much smaller than the e9x shift boot.
There’s enough slack thank goodness. Now I will just need to have a custom parking brake boot done to match. The M performance knob sits lower than I expected. I’ll try it out for a while and see how I like it.

Not yet. I need to take the car down to address a suspension issue and will throw it on during that process. Got to get my tie rods ordered.
New wheels. Sized down from 19's. Like the fitment but still getting used to the look on 18's.

Little sunset, little change up (order came in finally about a month ago, ordered in April):

Those were the days! BMW won the 2010 ALMS GT class manufacturer's championship and for 2011 the E92 M3 GTs made a clean sweep for the driver's championship and manufacturer's - but for 2012 season I think it was Corvette who won the ALMS GT class championships - but I could be wrong? Anyway, for 2013 BMW retired the E92 M3 GTs twins and campaigned the Z4. The Z4 was shackled with a 25kg weight penalty because Porsche complained (appealed) about a so called "unfair advantage" and things were never quite the same after that. Or perhaps you just meant the 12 hours of Sebring for 2012 stats? Porsche had not had their asses kicked in endurance racing for a very long time - especially not by a German car maker... Aside from full championships, the E92 M3 GT also won the legendary 12 Hours of Sebring in consecutive years, taking the GT class hardware in both 2011 and 2012. Sorry to thread jack.

Lovely car, beautiful sunset. Eventuri? Sound report?

Yes, Eventuri Matte Plenum and Air Intake cover paired with a Macht Schnell Stage 2 Intake System. So far so good, as the Macht Schnell already gave the front end a noticeable sound increase especially under load but paired with the plenum just takes things to a whole new level.

Even under 4k rpm it’s a touch louder (it as everyone else has observed screams above 4k) but I’d say the biggest change is more how it sounds rather than the volume. The symphony of sounds lends itself more towards a throaty sound with little more tone (bass) as the air passes through which is emphasized more now with the thinner carbon plenum.

Overall, I hope this provides a little insight or at least a response to your question. The impact on everything else performance, mpg, etc. still need time to see what that might entail for me but enjoying the day to day drive little more now.

Thanks mate. Just curious while waiting for tge plenum (order mid May). Wanted the matte but unfortunately wasn't an option with the Swedish dealer, guess I have to get used to gloss...;)

Been through few different exhaust systems (during 12y ownership), back to OEM since a few years and looking forward to increase the induction noise instead.
Installed second ordered customs wheels, rear end nearly spot on but i don't know what to do with front. One option to lower front end 20mm but there are too many speed bumps in new area, second option replace 235/40 R19 tyres to 265/35 R19. I miss that 4yrs ago black wheel+spacers setup.

Spammy is right. Where did you source a new pan?

That looks like the Alibaba one that I bought last year, around $300 all in. It does the job but I think rattles at times. I would love to get a new oem shield

White wheels look great on silverstone ii. Brake dust might change how you feel about that but at least TEs are easy to clean :thumbsup:
Seattle to Vancouver work trip before I put her on quickjacks for the brake flush and spark plugs.

Gloss black vents and tinted turn signals from IND-Distribution's user avatarIND-Distribution with carbon trim.

From Europe: Flat bottom steering wheel (JQ werks magnetic carbon paddle shifters) and armrest with M stitching.

Dinmann rear carbon console. Not perfectly flush with front console, but will fill gaps with some black felt. Should be ok. Yes I know, carbon isn’t an exact match to vent shroud.
