Progress Photos - Interlagos E90 w/Bronze TE37s, AC Schnitzer, Week 3

[shawrf1]

Hello! I picked up my car a few weeks ago and have been enjoying it quite a bit... in between break-in, modifications, shop time, the Nürburgring Nordschleife, and 145+mph on the autobahn, it's been a whirlwind so far! Here's what I've done so far (not pictured: RemoteKey+):

Picked up 19 May:


Lux H8:


MMN rear camera & Alekshop MMI (not pictured):


Euro mirrors:


M3 Edition grills and gills (top set = brand new jet black grills for sale! - Germany pick-up ):


Euro fog button mod (came with both white pieces):



19" Bronze 19x8.5/9.5 Volk TE-37s (off my other car from 2003 - they're 7 years old) & 255/35-275/35 rubber:


Ashtray delete:



Weathertech Digitalfit mats:


Weathertech Digitalfit Cargo Tray:


AC Schnitzer front lip (KW springs pictured):




The family parts wagon in the background :


Swissvax Crystal Rock:

Photos from today (w/35% tint; smoked reflectors):



This color is awesome... different shades in different lights - here's what it would look like overcast:








Rear needs work next...

well u havent waisted any time modding !!! congrats and good luck, car looks great

[Boost Gomez]

Wow, the car looks absolutely amazing. Very unique as well.

[SanFranFortyGiantsNiner]

Love the front lip..

Questions..
1. Is that a rear camera install? How did that turn out for you and where did you go for that camera..?

2. Also is that a smoked front bumper reflector and curious where you ordered that color?

[Kev]

Wow, nice progress there

[808E90]

[ilidon]

[xchosun1x]

looks great! i love the font lip and rods.
I really think the bronze and blue combo.

throw on an exhaust and I think your set!

[amk6453]

looks good!

[tightie]

looks great but id make the wheels black

[Cab5er]

Nice. Love the front lip

[808MGuy]

Looks good! Question about your suspension. You said KW springs. Is that just springs or coilovers? I remember seeing springs in their catalog but it doesn't seems like anyone offers it or even acknowledges their existence in the US.

Very nicely done...you wasted no time at all! Not a huge fan of the bronze...but overall it works! Congrats!

[leeor]

looks good, happy u got a different lip. I hope its bolted on though......

[montreal red]

loving the te37!

[templarklimek]

That has got to be the smoothest looking 4dr M3 I've seen. I think the rays wheels are a great compilment. your car may convince me to go back to M3 from my S5.

[lopealle]

looks awesome

[PIMP "E"]

whos the guy doing your wax job?

[AMPowerJ]

Looks great! I was thinking about bronze TE37s as well ... Will probably go with something different but it looks good. You should buy my Gintani Sport exhaust I have for sale to finish it off.

Oh you just showed me my future winter floor mats. Thanks!

Did you just get the general E90 3 series from like 2009 and add an M3 badge to them?

Rear camera works great! Easily the best safety mod to date... the DIY was involved, but Aleks walked me through some of the issues I had (mixing and matching the cam from modmynav & MMI from Alekshop). Took about 2 hours for me to do the install (1 hour to realize the sound not coming out of my driver's door speaker was b/c of a loose connector in the door, and not the PnP harness!) Smoked reflectors are from JLeviSW on this forum.

KW Springs - I had the same ? when I heard about it from the local shop, Schafer Clubsport, and was told that the spring rates are the same as Eibach, with same drop... I took them by their word and track record and went with it. So far, so good... will have to compare ride quality to Eibach when I get a chance.

That's Dennis Weber, working out of the PCS in K-town: http://www.swizol.de/swizol-fahrzeugaufbereitung.htm

Yes to the 2009 E90 mats... only visible difference is that the mats come with 'hook holes,' whereas we have the velcro pads underneath. Added the M3 badges from JLeviSW... Weathertech labels are gummy and easy to replace.

My wallet is reserved for the Akrapovic...
