Hey everyone! I've been creeping from close to 6 months now and I finally have some time!! I bought her about 4 months ago in VA from a fellow forum member. I was actually in the market for a e92 m3 and decided to check for "M" in general in my vicinity and she stood way out! Long story short, it's mine now!! It came mostly like you see it besides reflector vinyls and custom rear carbon fiber diffuser that I made.

Specs:
-07 Silbergrau metallic on black interior with no nav
- H&R coilovers
- Apex Arc8 18x9.5 front, 18x10 rears
-Vorshlag camber plates
- APR front splitter
- Evolve tune
- M3 euro headers
- DKF s pipe with high flow cats
- Custom 2x2 twill full carbon fiber "VRS" inspired diffuser
- Carbon fiber trunk hatch lip

Future plans:
-Sparco Evo seats
- RPI exhaust
- VF570 supercharger
- some type of show wheels aside from the track wheels

Sponsored by Dynamic Auto Tune. Looking for more

Car looks badass! I am torn between this or an E90 M3. So hard to choose.

Z4m feels much more sporty and fun. Less practical obviously.

The white spacers have been painted black since these shots. I have underneath shots that I will post later.

If you have to pick 1 to do it all, go E90. If you can afford to have something special on the side, go for the E86.

I have a Suburban for the family trips so this will be a toy. I prefer the look of the E90 over the E92. Seems more aggressive for some reason. If a set of golf clubs fit in the E86 I am really going to have a tough decision.

In my non-M which doesn't have the battery sitting in corner it was no problem.

The OEM mufflers restrain so much of the beautiful orchestra the S54 is playing it's sad. Changing those is going to make a significant change in tone/drone/sexyness.

The RPI's might be a little too loud in my opinion. I haven't heard it in person but it's the loudest one out of the bunch. Closest to a muffler delete setup from the way it looks. On the other hand, the Diablo's have a larger muffler which will (hopefully) restrain some of the rasp the car might produce. Plus, the Diablo's have a larger tip size. I believe just over 3 inches in diameter. I'd go as big as I can with that setup!

Looking good! I actually test drove this car during my search but didn't pull the trigger. Good luck with it!

Are you running a front spacer, and do you know what the front camber setting is? I just put my 9.5" apex's on the front and they're rubbing slightly on the fender liner.

I definitely want bigger tips from the diablo but the loudness from the RPI. Its not my daily so I dont think ill mind the drone and it being loud. Dubsesd, chime in since I know you have the RPIs.

Really? What made you not purchase it? The camber plates are putting the Apex's around 3.5+ I believe. Im not too sure on that but no rubbing at all.

I absolutely love my RPIs. I know people say they are very loud, but they're perfect for me. It's not my daily so it doesn't bother me at all. The drone is very, very minimal under load at lower RPMs. once the revs increase there's no drone and it sounds crazy good. All the other parts of my exhaust are stock so I can't comment on the combination with headers.

I found a lower mileage car for just a bit more money. Plus I liked that it was stock because I enjoy installing my own mods. Thanks, I'm gonna try doing the stock camber mod and see if that helps.

RPI is probably what i'll be going with then!
