Boo-E · 03-15-2014, 11:45 PM

So I recently took my car to Alekshop for a few mods. Aleks does incredible work. Lived up to all the hype and very helpful with all my questions. Thought is share a few pics(bad IPhone ones lol).
ESS VT2-625
ESS tune
DCT tune
Dinan mid pipe
Dinan exhaust
HRE P40S 20x9.5 20x11
Brembo 380mm 6/4 drilled
Hardwired V1
Tint

Going back Monday for some more goodies
ESS mid pipe(replacing the Dinan)
Endless pads
BMW Performance steering wheel

I'll upload more pics Monday after the new mods go on.

Also on order ACM headlight
Platte Forme side skirts

looks good

Nice to see people still modding the E9X and not jumping ship to the F8X

Needs more beefy tires for that power.

r1762 · 03-16-2014, 03:34 AM

Nice!

Jaymax85 · 03-16-2014, 06:51 AM

Nice car. Only critique I'd have is that 20s may be a bit large for the m3.. I think 19s are the optimum size.

What type of diffuser is that?

spdy330 · 03-16-2014, 07:01 AM

Looks like someone broke open their piggy bank. Looks great OP!

Blindside_137 · 03-16-2014, 07:19 AM

Thanks everyone. It's a Challenge race diffuser.

Absolutely gorgeous, OP ... 2 questions when you get a chance to drive her a bit:

(1) How's the ride comfort with 20's?
(2) White Brembo's difficult to keep clean?

Amirsm3 · 03-16-2014, 10:23 AM

So pretty. My sedan wants to be your sedan when it grows up.

Ride is pretty good. 245/30 285/30.
White brembos aren't any more difficult then yellow or red to keep clean

Might be ok if he uses Michelin PSS. They hook very well in most conditions.

Sal@AUTOcouture · 03-16-2014, 10:36 AM

Very nice
