For now there's plan to mod, but probably just an x-pipe and tune, but only after going to the track a few times the way it is. Just brake pads, and fluid for now.

maybe later an upgraded suspension as well.

Of course, I'm trying to delay modding, because once you start it's hard to stop

What mods do you have planned?

see above post

She's a beaut! Congrats my man. I'm trying to talk my wife into getting one so I can steal it from her. Maybe the last NA M series car BMW ever makes should help it hold it's value too.

Thanks man! I'm loving the car, it's a completely different experience from the 1 series. This is my first M car though, and I can see what all the fuzz is really about. This car's is an amazing work of art.

The 1 was great, and I put that thing through it's paces and it held up like a champ. But this is a completely different animal.

Any final thoughts on the ER widebody kit you had?
Good fit? Any regrets?

Fit was ok really, not great. Mind you I did the install myself, but there really isn't much to adjust, and most of the issues were vertical, not side to side or front to back adjustments, which are easy by loosening or tightening bolts.

There were gaps between the headlamps, bumper and hood. Like I said, take it with a grain of salt as it was self installed. It is a track oriented wide body, and it did it's job at providing more space. Not sure I would do it if I hadn't tracked my car so much and of course the stock ones being in the accident.

There are others here with the kit that can chime in probably.

Congratulations. I drove a M3 a couple years ago at the 2 day M school and it was my favorite - this was before the 1M. It is a little bigger than our 1s but noticably smaller and more agile than the M5 and M6. A V8 that can rev to 8K is really nice on the track. All the Ms accelerate and stop better and they also feel like you can position them more precisely. The M3 just reacted quicker to inputs. Loads of fun.

I'll try to put up better pictures as time permits.

Sweet ride...

The steering is definitely quicker, and more agile, will be seeing it's first track day on 5/12/2013 so I'll have more feedback then.

I'm planning more functional mods at first, some KW Clubsports + eventual test pipes + tune, after a few track days.

Then I'll def look into LCI tail lights (they just look much better) and some other pretty parts.

lol, it takes getting used to, but that 8400 Redline almost makes me forget about it, almost, still getting used to it.

So now that you've had it for a little bit can you post how it drives compared to the 1er? Pros & Cons?
