So here's a very overdue update on my build. I've been busy driving this thing every day after work . I've put 4,000 miles on it since pickup. I've had a huge change of heart regarding this car's build. I kept on adding more carbon and gloss black bits. I was spending more and more money but the car looked cheaper and cheaper. I decided I wanted a much cleaner, OEM+ look. I started with wheels. I knew large, satin black bbs wheels didn't work for me. They always looked dirty and you could never see any detail. So I decided a change of diameter and color would really spruce up my car. I ended up purchasing a square 18x10 set of bimmerworld ta16s in silver and indy500 in 265/35/18 all around. Knowing that I wanted to keep these looking silver, I picked up some akebono ceramic brake pads after VisualEcho (will tag when not on mobile) suggested them. Goodbye brake dust! This has got to be my favorite mod so far honestly. I also picked up some ap honeycomb rear reflectors from m2c_ban (will tag) and took off my reverse light tint. I took off my eventuri intake as I couldn't hear it over my exhaust unless it was the low speed bottle blowing sound— so annoying! However, I missed the little bit of turbo induction noise I could hear so I picked up an mst intake. It could easily pass as OEM visually and its louder than the eventuri. It was also a quarter of the sale price of my eventuri. Triple win Lastly, my lip was removed after a construction road got word I wanted to return to an OEM look. it was a cheap lip so it didn't hurt too bad. I was planning on taking it off anyway since gloss black didn't really work there anymore. I'm enjoying the low with no lip look but I'm sure I'll get a simple cf lip eventually. I'm still deciding on whether or not I want to spring on the suvneer gts hood since it may go against my new OEM+ look I am going for. My power goals pretty much remained the same or got bumped up. Plan on doing a pure800 in a year or two if I decide to keep this car for awhile. Nothing else interests me after looking into the m340i, supra, and even the cayman 4 cyl.

To be completely honest, comparing to slightly used PSS that I got with my car they feel about the same. I think one of things I've noticed is that they take a tad longer to warm up on spirited drive.. could be placebo though. I don't think they're any noisier than PSS which is something I had read. I can't speak on wet performance because this car will not ever see rain for as long as I own it. With all that said, I wouldn't hesitate to buy a square set of 265/18 for $740 installed over PS4S for like $1300.

Car looks great! Does the MST intake have that blowing air over a bottle noise at low rpm too?
