M3 Modification Wishlist

[LEGiiT]

Ok so, I'd like your opinions/recommendations on what to choose and what else I can do.

I have an E92 M3, alpine white, I'm looking for a black/white contrast... already have matte black 19" wheels, and I am looking to do these things:

Aesthetics:
- 20% window tint all around and 50% on windshield (what's night time driving like with 20% compared to 35%?
-Taillight black out (not completely)
-CF BMW competition front splitter
-CF BMW competition rear spoiler
-CF BMW competition side vents
-CF kidney grills
-CF hood vent (ram-air intake) covers
-CF mirror caps
-Vorsteiner rear diffuser (what type?)

Exhaust (which one?):
-Akrapovic Ti?
-Eisenmann Race?

ECU (which one?):
-ESS Performance ECU Software?
-TS Stage 1 ECU?

Superchargers (which one?):
-ESS VT-625 Supercharger?
-G-POWER SK II Supercharger?

What else would you recommend I could do to my car?

Cheers.

I recommend you do none of those things, as the black/white looks like ass on everything. Not even CF. People here will love you for tinting your windshield, though!

Being that there are only a few E9x m3 guys on beyond, you should also post this question on m3post.com

As for exhaust, Akra is top notch from everyone who has them, I do believe Tunerworks has it in stock also.

Prit at Eurowerks has an Eisenmann in stock if IIRC.

Akra exhaust - ESS Supercharger

suspension and bbk upgrade.....

question: did you get the black roof to match the cf hood??

[LEGiiT]

Already upgraded suspension (lowered.) Yes, I have the CF roof.

My E90 M3 will be Akrapovic equipped next week if you want to hear one live in person. There are pros and cons to the various performance related upgrades you are considering; swing by sometime if you want to discuss.

Re the exhaust, do you like "drone" :D or put another way, does your age start with a 1, 2, 3 or beyond? :nut:

Superchargers are lame. Only a complete idiot would supercharge an M3.

Are you sticking with the stock wheels?

Exactly.....supercharged BMW's are for guys with small man parts.......turbocharged Porsche's on the other hand require large man parts to drive properly ;)

How can I have a small one and a big one at the same time?

what's wrong with a s/c M3?

He is lying. Porsche drivers have PSM so they don't have one at all :)

PSM - otherwise known as Please Save Me - is a feature of new Porsche's so that when BMW drivers upgrade to a 911 they don't kill themselves. Fortunately it can be turned off when they grow a pair. ;)

Good question! Fortunately these are few and far between. :D

Most guys have the ability to have a small and big one....just depends upon the motivation. ;)

[CSMRX7]

Back on topic. I wouldn't do the g-power sc. They have had reliability issues.

[Prit@EAWerx]

Exhaust (which one?):
-Akrapovic Ti?
-Eisenmann Race?

Both are great systems... Are you after the full Akra evolution system?
