EVERYTHING matters. Consider weight on every single thing you do to the car.

I believe there was a thread you made back then on everything you did on weight but can’t find it .

It’s basically...
50 lbs of roof
50 lbs of seats
50 lbs of battery
50 lbs of wiring/electronics
100 lbs of many misc smaller items

I'm beginning the process of building a house (of which I'll be DIYing a fair bit ), so car mod progress will probably slow down for a while. I also have no place to do car work during the construction phase
(but will have a kick as work shop at the new house-- first time I'll ever be designing my own garage!)

The M3 is probably, sadly, going to live this summer/fall in a storage unit, in go to the track mode (track tires in the back seat, track bins in the trunk)... and likely only come out for track events. The M3 wagon will be handling the fun driving this year. I won't have garage space during the construction phase, and don't want to leave the M3 coupe parked outside...

Do you have a house-build thread? It'd be interesting to see that process.

Ha. I woke up early this morning, so snuck off to work on the car, still in pajamas... and the Avin seemed like a clean project to do, while not wearing car work clothes.

Yes— that’s in use in that photo.

No more AVIN 4? The widescreen one looks pretty good and a few retailers have that version.

How do you like this? Is it a significant upgrade to the 3 and did you get the DSP option? I have the 3 now but BT and sound quality are not where I want them to be but I really like the OEM look.
