Wow, you've got a good taste  Nice job !! Does the US M3 have the 'bad' intake manifold from the 328i ? In other words, can you tune a M3 engine with an 325i manifold ? __________________

well the 96-99 M3's have the narrower intake manifold ports. So we sometimes use the manifolds from the 325's and bolt those on. Some companies can sell a tune for the use of bigger ports but I already have Dinan software so I'm not gonna mess with it. It is doing great already as is for me.
And thanks for your kind words. __________________

cool color blue! I think i'd look cool to color match it  | | | | | 10-04-2009, 05:53 PM | #81 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 |
that looks sick, be even cooler if it matched the car color better | | | | | 10-04-2009, 06:46 PM | #82 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: LA, Bellflower, CA Posts: 3,613 |
yeah, i was thinking about color matching it but i dont have the color in a spray can like i did before. i just picked out a nice color blue for base paint after the primer then used a metallic paint and coated it like 5 times. Afterwards i used heat resistant paint clear coat to finish it off. took most of the day.
i think next is the roof spoiler that tifreak has or fixing my driver vader seat.
what ya think? __________________

So I've been wondering what to get next... I like to get something once a month to get myself busy and improving looks and what not. I was thinking either getting some custom made door sills that have the ///M logo. like so:  or a roof spoiler like tifreak's:  what you guys think? Would like to hear you guys' input please. __________________

I would go for the rear spoiler first. I like the look of that for awhile. Door sill can be for later on. Not much people can see the inner door anways. | | | | | |
