Gloss black 18's on my M3

[Andyk]

Morning all, just thought I would update some pictures of the M3....Been getting back up to standard this year....So the front bumper has been painted along with other bits that needed doing plus a couple of dents taken out.

Steering wheel retrimmed which does half brighted up the interior.......and this week got the wheels refurbed in gloss black..She is starting to look good for a 11 ear old girl...

Next need to get the interior bits on dash and door handles retrimmed or new ones maybe and some spacers to push those wheels out.....

And some more

Very nice Andy, makes a refreshing change to see some colour about the place, all this Black and Grey is depressing like the weather! :whistle:

Nice Andy good to see you back as one of the original 08 club :-)

Hi Daz, how's things mate......Is that an AMG I see...I was never a fan of these until I had a passenger ride around Brunty in a C63 Coupe...Bloody blew me away........Brilliant bit of kit and rather fancy a C63 AMG 4 door next....now they are around 25k as well.

[DazBlackCSL]

All good mate cheers .. Yeah it is later 10 model with power upgrade lol

The early ones are down at 25 ish and later ones 55 so big wide range out there, serious bit of kit, and mines a 4 door so practical with the nipper :-)

[Andyk]

Does the power upgrade give an extra 40 bhp.....What else..suspension and brakes ?

They sound fantastic.....I can understand why you have one with the family..Perfect.

They run approx 500 with performance pack on 2010 on models, they have a 2 piece composite brake disc and red calipers, suspension unchanged.

Cheers Lawsy....So if I see a performance pack on a 2008 car is that not the same...

No

That will have lsd, stiffer suspension, if red calipers then 2 piece discs, and alacatara on steering wheel


No power upgrades

[Andyk]

Thanks mate...Learn something new everyday......So it would be worth getting an early one with the Performance pack....

[Andyk]

So this car as a 2008 doesn't have the 40 bhp even though they say it does...

Hahaha...quality....also thought I had seen that plate before.

[shane@mbtech]

The performance pack with extra power are 2010 on wards. Red calipers, carbon spoiler etc,

They are notable by the difference in colour of manifolds.

Lawsy, thats really helpful ...... May take the pludge next year.
