▀▄ eas | Lemans Blue e90 M3 ZCP (Springs, Spacers & Akra)

anthony @ eas · 02-18-2011, 06:26 PM

The owner of this beautiful 2011 e90 M3 was visiting Southern California from the San Francisco area and had scheduled to drop by our shop to get a set of springs and spacers installed. Once everything was finished he obviously loved the new aggressive stance, however it made the stock exhaust look even smaller and more out-of-place than before. Luckily we had the perfect remedy for the situation: the Akrapovic titanium slip-on exhaust.

We put the car back on the lift and in about another hour the exhaust was installed. Now the car was set-up how we think it should have been from the factory: a little bit lower, a little bit wider and a little bit louder.

Items installed:
Akrapovic Titanium Slip-On
Eibach Pro-Kit Spring Set
Macht Schnell 15mm Spacers (Front)
Macht Schnell 12mm Spacers (Rear)

Here's the car as it first came to us: 100% stock.

What impact does the aftermarket springs have on the EDC functionality?

Chowster · 02-19-2011, 10:18 PM

Always amazed at how much more appropriately sized the stock 19's look when spacers get put on. Nice color, nice pics, looks gorgeous!!!
