Probably the worst car decision I ever made. rknebel 12-20-2005, 03:28 PM I love the color but why'd u have to go w/gray interior!!! Now your on the long journey to brek in your new M3...bummer Which interior do you think is a better match ? rknebel 12-20-2005, 03:31 PM Rick, Congrats on the M3! Get that sucker lowered ASAP, the fender gap on new models is so high. Can you get it lowered and not void the warranty ? If so who would you use ? Kevlar 12-20-2005, 03:38 PM Any modification you do voids that part of the car and any part related to your modification. You can lower it fairly simply by installing a set of H&R or Eibach springs. Normally cost $150-225 plus labor. TheMossMan 12-20-2005, 04:20 PM Can you get it lowered and not void the warranty ? If so who would you use ? Make nice with your service manager and he'll help make sure your warranty is not voided.... But, springs won't void your warranty anyway... I used Eibachs, lowered the car 1/2" in the front and 9/10" in the rear...kind of levels it off without making it look too low. rknebel 12-20-2005, 06:28 PM Who does this kind of work. Can a dealership ? TheMossMan 12-20-2005, 08:19 PM Who does this kind of work. Can a dealership ? Yep..but they'll want an arm and a leg for it. Find a local shop that specializes in german cars...hopelfully you'll find one that specializes in bmw AND performance. FL410 12-21-2005, 12:28 AM I second the Eibach advice. They give a little less lowering than H&R and are designed for use with stock dampers. If you want lower go with Koni and H&R. If you want it still lower and higher performance (and $$) go with a TC Kline True Match with 400# all around. Search for Eibach and H&R on here for pics and you can see the differences.
