What mods to new F80?

[shiftn7]

Picked up my 2015 M3 this past Saturday. Its fully loaded except the leather packaging and the carbon brakes which I may add.
I am just not sure much needs to be done to the car. Its surprising to me that so many are adding mods to this car.
I would like to see an all wheel drive version, add a tune to pull 4-6psi more out of the engine, an exhaust to fine tune exhaust note, needs a little brake work (maybe the carbons will help and some better pads), some r888 as you get a little tire spin with the grannies off, but all in all off the showroom floor I am impressed. Its a blast to drive this little grocery hauler. Anyway what are people doing to this car to improve it? I really see no more than a tune, exhaust and some track tires (stockers are fine for the street).

Tint and clear bra. Done. "Investing" the rest in HPDEs.

Congrats on the car! It certainly does a lot in stock form.

Suspension and spacers made a huge difference on my car's appearance and drive. I also did an ecu bench tune with down pipes and front lip as well. Car is an absolute beast right now!! Have fun with it.

Spacers make a negative impact to drive IMO.

What suspension are you running? with or w/o adaptive?

Enjoy the car stock for a little bit. No need to mod a car whose full capabilities you've yet to exploit

[supremepower]

First mod! Reflectors

That orange is just so ugly on the car

Welcome to the forum. Have some fun and enjoy the car is stock form, BMW did very well out of the box with this model.

Mods will always be available when you're good and ready.

Reflectors, Grills, and Gills are so mandatory IMO!

Depends on what you are looking for
Power: Stage 1 tune would be a very good start
Looks: suspensions and As supremepower said change the reflectors

I personally would not recommend changing anything for at least couple months so you can enjoy your car stock

Agreed. I also think the M performance splitters, lip, M trunk spoiler, M exhaust and M diffuser, and M pedals are also a must.

Only M performance part I dont have is the mirror caps.

I skipped the front stuff since my car is MG and going low. Probably gonna add that $600 plastic lip lol

Yea I guess it blends a bit too much with MG. Mine is AW so it all looks quite tidy with the CF roof and all the CF parts.

You have the M perf exhaust?

Yes I do and I love it. M perf in Titanium w/ the CF diffuser.

H&R with adaptive.

Do spacers really hurt the drive of the car?? First mod I would do is springs ASAP.

[AutoTalent]

Lower it!

I have exactly the same! While I'm still getting accustomed to the sound the M exhaut does sound bad ass when the values open and on cold start.

[Powaup]

First mod should be the exhaust valve mod then black kidney grilles

I am saying no. I put my car and every car I drive to the absolute max potential and feel more stable with a slightly wider stance. The look aspect is simply a bonus if you ask me.
