3 months with my M4...

Eli550 · 10-28-2018, 12:07 AM

I love this car.
I got my M4 from the dealership (brand new) with Dinan Stage 2 tune and Dinan exhaust. I know a lot of people don't love Dinan. However, with the Dinan phone app I was able to turn off the tune and drive the car as stock (only with exhaust) and what a huge difference! I'm sure there are more powerful tunes but having gotten this from the dealership like this I absolutely love it.
Other mods:
15mm wheel spacers all around and vorsteiner carbon fiber trunk lip along with alcantara m performance gear surround (interior) and carbon fiber dct shifter.

The spacers make the 18" wheels look perfect and is exactly what I had hoped for. I don't love white but the mineral white is awesome. I only got it in white because this is the only 2018 M4 I found with 18" wheels and a moonroof.

Overall, I couldn't be any happier with this car. Now for future mods, any suggestions?

Congrats on the new car! I have an F80 M3 myself in Austin Yellow. These cars are truly something else! I'm never disappointed when I drive it and when in something else, it always leaves me wanting more from it!

Mods on this care get pricey fast so I'd advise just looking up stuff. I got a 1400 diffuser that I opted from installing for the time being and currently trying to sell but still no luck lol. So do your due diligence and be sure you buy something you want and don't feel eh about it.

Nice

Performance and sound

If you do not have the midpipes, i would add them.

An intake will be a nice addition as well if you want more sound.

Exterior
carbon fiber, black or painted reflectors

Interior

Red M2 Button

Very nice, Enjoy

Looks great, love the 18's pics don't do them justice. If I didn't have the ZCP I would have gotten the 18's. What brand spacers did you get? I am debating putting on mine

shay2nak · 10-29-2018, 03:27 PM

congrats! Since you have the spoiler, you can get a front lip and diffuser to balance it out.

TechnoSeanSK · 10-30-2018, 11:02 PM

Beautiful! Love that spoiler, and am looking at it myself.

Highly recommend a drop and spacers, or wheels if they're in the budget!

Vorsteiner wheels are on special right now for the SEMA event

If not, drop alone makes a serious change in looks and performance!

Justin, yours looks like it's bagged, man. IMHO, would look way better raised up and I'm sure it'll drive better as well.

On a more serious note, Justin is my GO2 for all things F8X. His depth of knowledge is vast as he seems to have pretty much run every setup known to BMWkind. He could be Justin.SPACEX and I'd still buy from him. Legit.

Which springs and spacers are these? Also, what color is that F80?

thanks for the kind words brotha! I have been contemplating raising it a little because of the ride quality change from 20"..... But when i see the car rolling, I just can't bring myself to raise it

Color is Velvet Blue, I am lowered on KW Clubsport coil overs. No spacers !

Got it from a friend who totaled his car. Looking for a diffuser now.

I'd love a front lip but I'm not cautious enough not to bang it up. I had one on my 2015 550.

Honestly got them on amazon. They're hub centric spacers. I get no vibrations or noise at all!
