MineralWhite F80 enjoyment

OtakuRevel · 04-07-2015, 10:45 PM

After enjoying the heck out of this outstanding sedan since November....well after a slow rolling break-in period......I am still loving my MW/SO F80 M3.

Here it is after it's first wash and just before I took official delivery.

First mods were fairly unseen. Euro sun visors, tri stitched shift boot and ebrake boot, performance grills, IND MW front reflectors, IND blacked side vents (both pieces), lug stud conversion (extended), 12mm front/10mm rear spacers, and removal of the dealership license plate surround. Oh and 18% ceramic tint on side windows, 30% ceramic tint on rear glass, and 70% ceramic tint on front glass.

Next was removing the front bumper and headlights. Then installing the ONEighty blacked out headlights. I didn't do anything fancy so these are the basic no frills version. They still look damn good. Really really damn good. Front looks entirely sinister rather than just a tad menacing. Also threw on the H&R springs to rid the car of the unsightly 4x4 status.

Close up of the lights

Sitting at just over 4000 miles currently.

Future plans are;
1. coilovers - looking like KWs
2. exhaust - loving the TPG and AWE. Still holding out for ARK after hearing it at SEMA
3. wheels- there is a bunch I love, but only one I'm in love with

Awesome. I'm torn on the lights though.

Sometimes I love the look and other times I think stock is better. I bet in person I would not prefer the latter.

Looks great!

Car looks great. For some reason I'm not a huge fan of blacked out headlights on the F8X.

GOLFFRR · 04-08-2015, 06:31 AM

saxon · 04-08-2015, 09:07 AM

Love it!

nice ride!

VMRWheels · 04-08-2015, 08:04 PM

Congrats! Look forward to seeing all the mods come together

OtakuRevel · 04-08-2015, 10:21 PM

Thanks everyone. I admit the blackout headlights were on the pricey side of crazy, but I do like them. Can always change back later if I were to get tired of them.

Went the same for me. Had ordered the AW originally. One day was up at the dealership to see the AY M4 in person and saw the a AW 3 series sitting beside the MW 3 series and very quickly changed my order to MW.

Powerbeast · 04-14-2015, 11:49 AM

Looks great, especially on the F80.

OtakuRevel · 01-26-2016, 11:06 PM

Since I've got no real update to this build I figured some pics from TokyoAutoSalon would be nice change of pace

dharo1 · 01-26-2016, 11:43 PM

Thanks for sharing! Great pics
