Featured on BIMMERPOST.com 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 Link to the video posted on Youtube -

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! |

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 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
