Mod my M3!

I've been a member for years. I've owned several 3's. This is my first M3.

2015 F80 M3

Here's what's done so far.

What should I do next???

AEM Intakes
Active Autowerks Mid Pipe
BPM Sports Tune
ZITO ZF01 Matte Bronze Wheels
CF Spoiler

I have H&R springs but not sure about pros vs cons for this car and how aggressively I drive. Little worries I'll tear up the undercarriage.

I am used to JB4 on my 335s. I'm not familiar with the BPM Tunes. Can I use both? Do I need both? If I get the active autowerks Downpipes will I need to get a new tune ? Doesn't JB4 auto tune it all ?

Thanks for your advice !

Are you really telling this man to change out his cloth seats for some inferior non-ventilated leather seats that make your ass sweaty?

I prefer Carbonstructure/cloth to full leather. If keeping the OEM+ look, here's what I would do for round one:

- BMC Filters
- Prepainted reflectors
- Bootmod3 Stage 1 Flash Tune
- Macht Schnell Competition Sport Springs
- Macht Schnell Spacers Front/Rear (keep stock wheels)
- VRSF Downpipes
- LCI Taillights

You're fine with H&R springs, you're not going to tear up anything.

JB will tune the car, I would personally go with BM3 or MHD. For running downpipes, yes, you will need JB. BM3, MHD or BPM.

Intakes are just for sound, they literally do nothing for hp/tw, but man do they make it sound better.

As everyone said, do the LCI tails.

As someone who went from standard M carbonstructure seats to CS white and black full leather competition seats with the M stitching and "holes", I much prefer the more comfortable, nicer feeling, and more functionally gripping carbonstructure.

Thanks. I honestly do not know. Still learning more about this car daily. Is there an easy way to tell?

When I have suspension set to Comfort with the lowering springs it feels like Sport+ with OEM springs.

Got my first black belt at 9. My coach called me ShanMan since my name is Shannon. At 10 I was in a tournament. Match begins. Kid lunges forward to punch as I did a spinning back kick. Kid kinda made a floppy flip and landed unconsciously. ShanMan became Sandman. My last name is Carpenter. Sandman is frequently taken on all sites so, SandmanSC

I'm guessing it's the H&R's. Notoriously bumpy, I went EDM and couldn't be happier and work great with EDC.
