^ Agreed. This is a winner. Love a cloth interior M3.

What are the wheel specs exactly? Camber/Ride height?

Thanks, guys! It's an off-the-shelf R&T kit with Ohlins camber plates.

The rear driveshaft seal has been "leaking" for a while and the car is a greasy mess underneath. My dealer and indy tech claim it's not easily serviced so I purchased a new DS. Ouch. The car feels fine with no vibrations at any speed but I don't want to risk a DS failure.

The new driveshaft, diff cover and front/rear Hotchkis sways will be installed next week.



I finally received these Supersprint parts that were ordered in May! I hope to have these installed and the car tuned before winter. Oh, I'll probably ditch the UUC shifter for something less notchy.

Super clean build. Keep it up and enjoy in good health!

The setup with the E88s is perfection. I need a set now.

~2 years ago I had the full CSL box setup - but I chickened out and sold everytthing. I heard a few stories about jerky throttle issues which are still my largest fear. The idea of spending $4k+ and having a throttle worse than stock still scares me...

a few years ago this was the case, but by and large those issues seem to have been resolved and imo the culprit was tuning. my issues were fixed after some diagnosing and retuning by PCE. most documented cases of hesitation at low rpm seem to get resolved these days.

fantastic build btw! would love to hear your opinions/comparisons of the parts you're swapping in and out!
