Here's my previous build. 15' F80 M3

Update (10/08/2018):

Installed my RW Carbon GTX CF Trunk Spoiler. Fitment was great, but no 3M tape was included

I also installed IND Painted Front Reflectors. Can't go wrong with IND's quality.

Update (10/16/2018):

Just picked up the car from Dynamic Detailing in Santa Clara, CA.
They coated the car with Ceramic Pro 9H.

Update (10/17/2018):

Tinted the M2 with Suntek Carbon Tints.
35% all around and 55% windshield

Update (01/21/2019):

Installed the RW Carbon GTX CF Diffuser. Yet again, fitment was great and had no issues whatsoever.

Update (02/21/2019):

Airlift 3P
Airlift Performance Struts

Aired Out:

I came from a 2015 F80 M3 DCT and I have to say the Manual Transmission is amazing! Haven't been pushing it too hard since it's at 200 miles on the odometer. Overall it's a fun, beautiful car!!

Karmic Man · 10-08-2018, 09:38 PM

Congrats, seeing another M2C with 6MT always gives me the chills

No1Cares · 10-09-2018, 07:10 AM

Got the correct transmission.

dmboone25 · 10-09-2018, 10:36 AM

Really looking good - love the blue start button.

I've been trying to decide what rear deck spoiler to get. This one looks pretty nice and seems like it's cheaper than the m performance one according to the site.

Do you mind uploading pics when you're done installing?? Thanks!

Will do!! I hope removing the stock spoiler isn't too bad

What`s your opinion on the clutch?

My OGM2 has a very light, dull feeling to it, long pedal travel. I do like the shifter, but not the clutch.

I wouldn't say it's light like a Honda, but it's not that heavy either.
+1 for the shifter

Once part of the reflector starts to peel off, it's easy.
IND's tutorial video on YouTube makes it look easier than it really is

Romo · 10-09-2018, 01:58 PM

I do not like the way the clutch engages. Very late and to high, for a sporty car I would like to see that the other way around.

This was exactly how I felt with my M4. Fortunely, $10 BMS clutch stop fixes it.

Thanks for the pics!! Looks really aggressive! The quality looks good too, are there any gaps in between or is it pretty flush?

How did you clean it up? 3M adhesive remover?
