Gents -

After driving/leasing 20 + M's and with the sad demise of m6- I thought I am finally done with BMW's for a while. But I keep coming back REASON ?? Performance/Handling and most important Price/Leasing!

A good buddy of mine is a car photographer and wanted to shoot my M8 for his collection. Below are Pictures of some of his work......

Currently the car has the following cosmetic mods :
- H&R spacers
- OEM Black Out
- Reflectors matching alpine white
- Side skirts
- 35% Tints

I am contemplating on the following and your opinions/comments are always appreciated and held at a premium.

- New exhaust system ( thinking Akra/ eisenmann )
- Lowering it on H&R springs
- Thinking to powder coat the wheels white ?
- Aftermarket Steering Wheel
-Front Lip painted white

You can follow me on IG as I plan to mod along - https://www.instagram.com/iam_vikm/

I am based in NJ mainly the shore towns for the summer and short hills up north. I visit DC/MD/VA often which is my hometown so if u see me cruseing / at any cars and coffee meets please say hello networking is strongly welcomed

Twins! (when stock)

I've got the Akra full Ti exhaust as well as secondary cat deletes and H&R springs on 21" wheels if you can wait till we meet up to check everything out in person. I'll be in NJ for vacation the end of June and/or before that if there are any M8 like you have been talking about in your other threads.

Unless you are going with a carbon brake upgrade you do NOT want white wheels! I am sure you have noticed this already. The dust from the OEM pads is insane. Heavy car with big cross drilled brakes takes a lot of force to stop which means lots of dust. No way around it besides carbon. My experience with ceramic pads has been reduced brake feel/bite and reduced stopping distance and still a good amount of dust. Not worth the trade off and the carbon upgrade is just too expensive unless you get in on the car from the factory. I went with matte black wheels to go with my frozen metallic white wrap and even matte black shows the dust it's THAT bad!

Well put together sir- I do suggest for your pleasure that a drop is indeed needed to finalize your aesthetics.

We will def meet this summer. I need to start hitting up everyone by this weekend. Ahh you are damn right that dust drives me insane even after hitting quick corners at 90-100 for a few mins the wheels get dusty.

We will meet for sure this summer. I will starting pming everyone and start a WhatsApp thread .

The roads here are beyond terrible I would go with the drop and a new set of wheels too . Let's see for how long I want to keep it . LOL I'm hoping this time I will stick it to it atleast two seasons .

You ever come down the aforementioned towns let me know . Btw on a side note I really really love a f430 spider 2008 . I'm thinking getting a CPO one for 125k with 10-12k miles drive that thing in summer only on selective days and carefully put 3-4K miles a year .

Amazon leasing had a crazy deal I almost jumped on it .

I wish.

I just got mine just about a month ago.

Great combo but not what I originally wanted, white on red with 811 wheels.

Why are you getting rid of her?

I'll swap you rims

I won't get rid of it until November. Don't keep a car longer than 6-8 months.

I'm contemplating modding this m8 more if I do it then might keep it longer lets see ..
