That's where the trouble is, I have no idea.

I've always had a tune on my BMW's Vishnu on my 335i, burger on my 650 GC, x5, even on my f150. I feel like the M8 will be fast enough for a bit.

zdbmw · 11-08-2020, 02:18 AM

I vote for exhaust upgrade

spuntyb · 11-08-2020, 05:46 AM

HREs and tint

FloridaM5 · 11-08-2020, 05:52 AM

Springs, spacers, tune, exhaust could be fun!

TrevorM3 · 11-08-2020, 06:08 AM

straight pipe the resonator, lower, tint, spacers.

you're welcome.

josec70 · 11-08-2020, 06:53 AM

Springs, tint, CF bits and exhaust / res delete

DrewBert · 11-08-2020, 08:03 AM

Reflector delete, spacers on order.

Trying to figure out which suspension. KW Has seems nice, wouldn't mind their system to raise and lower the front.

Was thinking Keller DPs and leave stock exhaust and maybe BMS intake or the one that goes in the front kidneys.

Trying to figure out if I want JB4 or BM3 any one have any suggestions on that? I've had Juice box on a few vehicles so I know then piggy back but BM3 has perked my interest.

Lol. I just went through this.... I chose:

CF m perf paddle shifters
Tint front windows to match rear
MSR intake
Paint matched front reflectors
Honeycomb gloss black rear reflector delete
Custom red calipers
M perf Rear diffuser & pro spoiler
H&R springs
PPF front bumper and C quartz everything else

This will get you to 6k easily. Maybe 7-8k actually.

My car came with M perf exhaust, CF side grilles and kidney grilles already.

Paint protection film for the entire vehicle is what I did as soon as I bought my M5 (F90) back in August of 2018. No paint correction was needed since the vehicle was new. Paint looks great to this day and no rock chips on the car.

I don't get the paint protection on the whole car. Doesn't make any sense to me to spend that kind of money.

I have never gotten film on any part of any car I've owned.

What's the thought process behind it?

Protects from light scratches, makes cleaning much easier, and peels right off when ready to get rid of the car or replace the film, whichever comes first.

As for paint correction, if you put a work light on cars even new from the factory, most have swirls or light scratches, and the paint itself can be dulled from the delivery process.

Don't need either one, but I've done it to my cars and they look fantastic, and are easier to keep looking fresh, since I don't get much time to clean it myself or bring it to my detailer.

The paint stays perfect no matter what you drive through (ie no chips) or how it gets washed (ie no swirls). Kind of a big upside.

If the paint does not need any paint correction by applying it to whole vehicle, you do not have to worry about swirl marks in paints clear coat appearing over time from washing / wiping down the vehicle. I can only speak from my experiences. My wife's cars only has the front end done (full hood, full fenders, bumper, head lights, and mirror caps). Once a year I pull out the Flex polisher to correct the paint and to remove the swirl marks from the paint that is not protected.

Most just go with the full front end PPF (paint protection film).
