MightyOF80 · 08-03-2020, 06:36 PM

Nice looking ride man! Aggressive but stayin' classy. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe.

gtenedio · 08-03-2020, 06:55 PM

well done, sir.

antzcrashing · 08-03-2020, 07:03 PM

Looks great, might benefit from that splitter being continued around the sides

This. So much upgrade what's with the tires?

Car looks great otherwise!

Thanks man! Was just a cost cutting measure, I know I know lol. Will probably change in the next six months or so.

Don't worry, dude! Vossen center caps look just fine. Also the matte wrap fantastic! This car has many subtle body lines that are pretty much invisible with the factory gloss paint. Matte or satin really transforms this car's look.

Agreed, and much appreciated as always Alex!

GOLFFRR · 08-03-2020, 08:08 PM

super sharp!

Looks great, but Vercelli Strada tires? They don't belong on an M vehicle!

Don't cheap out on tires!

Much rocks in the wheel wells. Only been a little over a week but initially I'm impressed with them.

That's what I figured. Please stay safe. Braking performance especially really seems to suffer with off main brand tires.

Nice my new Michelin set will cost me $1400

Game · 08-03-2020, 08:54 PM

Looks awesome.

I'd just lose that extra "M" badge on the fender.

Yeah in hindsight I should've just gotten the Michelin's, but is what it is. I'll rock these for a bit and upgrade soon enough. Definitely great tires.

Thank you! Got it off ebay actually, euroactive store. He's basically a dealer and places the order for you.

Don't listen to the tire police. Tires aren't permanent so you can always upgrade when those are worn (which will likely be soon enough). If the one you have work fine for you, who cares about the brand. If you're using the car for daily driving, who needs tires suitable for the track anyway.

I Second what Alex said. Though in my case, I'd go for the devious red V for the center caps. Great looking ride man!

Thanks man, yeah that was kind of my thought process with this. It's my daily and I don't track it. Just have some fun on weekends and such. So far no complaints and happy to not have rocks flip up in the wheel wells all the time lol.

I appreciate it man! And I agreed, the red V is dope. But I don't see them as an option to buy on the site.

Detailers Domain · 08-04-2020, 09:10 PM

looking good!

inmidoutsole · 08-14-2020, 07:28 AM

awesome build!

I went and had a look at the ACS splitter today and was a bit suprised to see how rough its surface looks. Did you paint yours?

Graves · 08-15-2020, 04:28 AM

So in love with that color. Would love to have my M3 in that color.

claudioagmfilho · 06-20-2021, 11:19 PM

Does anyone know any bbs wheel that is 19 inches and that would fit the X3MC ? I wanted more agility, want to lower the center of gravity by lowering the car, the drivability gets improved etc, smaller wheels preferably 19 inch ones would be interesting is this BBS wheel really exists…
