On behalf of
limeypride , I am putting together his car's build thread.
1 day old 2020 BMW M8 Competition GranCoupe got treated by me, personally, on a few simple mods to beautify this already gorgeous ride.
Long story short, he has been hitting me up a few weeks prior to delivery. Planning things out on what and how to get things done before driving this gorgeous car to its home, 1000+ miles away. I hope this time this M8C will stay home for much longer time than his M5's.
After a few discussions and deep research into BMW parts catalog, not knowing what may or may not fit on this new platform which no one even ever touch or do any mods. We both came to an agreement that he is willing to be the
"Guinea Pig" on the suspension.
So, the day is finally here.
After a sleepless night (got very excited on this build), this morning, I picked up the car and lend him my F97 X3MC to go around town while I am working on his car. Almost 8 hours later after hitting some snags and 2 hours wasted, here are the outcome.
List of mods:
- H&R Sport Spring for G30 M550
- H&R 15/11 Wheel Spacer in Black
- AutoTecknic Paddle Shifter in Gloss Black to match his Carbon Fiber / Piano Black Interior trim
- RaceChip GTS Black
- Coding (Anti-Dazzle, Trunk close via Keyfob, Video in Motion, etc)
Side Note: Original plan was to use some height adjustable spring instead of H&R Spring. But, I found out that it was missing parts in the set that I received. So we decided to take a big gamble on H&R Spring which the result was spectacular.
Without further due, here are the before and after pictures.
Enjoy, feel free to comment or PM for pricing since I can't quote price openly as per forum policy.
Last Side Note: Apology on the iPhone pictures. I hope it is good enough. It will take me months before I can post, if I use DSLR to take the pictures.
Before, 1 Day OLD
