2017 M3 Frozen Black

335cowboy · 02-01-2017, 01:10 PM

first picture post I might screw this up. 15mm front 20mm spacers in rear (they rub)... Frozen black paint seems very finicky, went to Euro delivery never gave me the car bc of a scratch they found on the trunk... anyway, I am enjoying the car now....

Beautiful car. I love Frozen Black. A 12mm or 15mm rear spacer should clear up your rubbing issue (and look better IMO).

Great looking ride... very Batmobile....

Congrats on the car. Would love to see that color in person. Dont know of anyone else in the OKC area that has a newer M3 or M4.

Equip it with the stock black 18". Dope.

I took the 550i they gave me to Nürburgring and flogged it over the weekend. Just the way it worked out. BMWUSA took care of me when I got back. the Germans hate delivering the frozen paint, hate it, glad I got the frozen when i did as it would not shock me if they ended it.

It's a daily grind to keep it clean, moving to Vegas and hopefully it will be easier than Oklahomastan to keep clean.

awesome M3!

btw, u have spacers backwards. u need to swap the spacers and u will be good. I ran 20f/18r (lowered on H&R springs) on my stockers (non-ZCP with same offset) and had no rubbing whatsoever.

try it and let us know what happens

it'll work fine

plus, the flushness will be spot on from front to rear ... right now it's way too flush in the rear compare to front

i always wonder what "BMWUSA took care of me" means. as in, you got your custom paint for free? they reimbursed you for the trip cost? just curious.
