My M4 Convertible with BBS FI-Rs and BBK
Hi all,
Following the part out of my M3 convertible that was Harrop charged and had all the bells and whistles, I decided to move onto the new platform. Deep down it was hard to move to the new platform as I loved the V8 and blower whine. The M4 has hardly broken in and just shy of 4 months old, some new items have been installed which isnt too dissimilar to my E93. Introducing to you my F83 M4 convertible, in the same colour Alpine White (should have chosen Mineral White ). INTERIOR OEM M Performance electronic Alcantara steering wheel OEM M Performance carbon gear selector OEM M Performance carbon gear surround EXTERIOR OEM M Performance carbon mirror covers OEM M Performance carbon front splitters OEM M Performance front lip OEM M Performance front black grills OEM M Performance side black gills OEM M Performance side rocker covers OEM M Performance carbon rear diffuser OEM M Performance exhaust system OEM M Performance carbon fibre exhaust tips WHEELS / BRAKES / SUSPENSION BBS FI-R wheels - Platinum Silver (incredibly light, I couldnt believe it!) - Front: 20 x 9.5 (Michelin Pilot Super Sports 275/30/20) - Rear: 20 x 10.5 (Michelin Pilot Super Sports 295/30/20) - I was considering the HRE P101s, but I dont think I went wrong with these. Maybe another set of wheels is on the cards. Brembo GT Big Brake Kit - Yellow - Front 380mm x 34mm, cross drilled - Rear 380mm x 28mm, cross drilled Suspension KW Height Adjustable - Front, dropped approximately Ύ inch - Rear, dropped approximately 1 inch - Factory EDC maintained which is great - Ride quality is very similar to OEM *** Might be parting the car in the next couple of months and moving it on, however may be doing the following mods to enjoy it a little bit more before it goes. - JB4 - Kohlenstoff rear diffuser - Wait for the GTS lights (dont think it will fit ) - Drop the car a tad little bit more (open to comments) - OEM M Performance pedals - Air intake (Either Eventuri or MSR) - A proper professional detail *** more photos to follow when I get a chance. |

Looks great - but why would you want to get rid of it so soon?
You could go a bit lower in the front if you aren't finding that it's scraping too much when driving. |

I don't keep my cars for very long. Don't get me wrong, while it has been a great car it's not a V8 that I do prefer more. If the JB4 transforms the car I may keep it for that little longer.
If the old M3 V8 was in this chassis, it would be a keeper for that much longer. I want to lower the front a little more, but I just barely get into my driveway even on an angle. |

Great looking ride OP! You mention ride quality is similar to OEM. Do you detect any more harshness with the 20 inch wheels/tires compared to the 19 inch ones?
I'm still on the fence about getting one with the competition package since it seems only available with 20 inch rollers. Any expanded feed back is welcome. M. Last edited by docM; 02-14-2016 at 04:37 PM.. |

Nice setup!
Do you know the offsets on those wheels?

The ride quality was more of a comparison between stock suspension and the KW HAS. Last edited by M3V8AUS; 02-15-2016 at 03:58 AM.. |

Very Nice. Did you get the BBS in OZ or had to ship them in?

Thanks mate. Got them direct from the states. Spoke to BBS Aus and they confirmed it was the only set in Australia. There isn't a market for people here in OZ that want to spend big coin on the rims. Super light and quite impressive.
Trying to lock in a deal on a new car at the moment. Will be parting the car or trading as is. Depends how the almighty dollar ends up in either deal. Heck, I might even mount the wheels on the wall, they are like a work of art! |
