My new-to-me M3

[torch]

Here it is. Sorry for not posting sooner

2015 BMW M3
7 speed DCT transmission
Twin-turbo inline-6 motor


Since purchasing I've added a set of cold-air intakes and an upgraded mid-pipe for both performance and sound mods. It has a selectable exhaust note that goes from "efficient" to "sport plus".
I've also added the popular "bootmod3" tune to the car, which allows you to tune and tweak all kinds of things on this (and other) BMW's.

As it sits now, it supposedly has an increase of ~20% HP and ~22% TQ, so something like 500hp and 495tq (at the motor)?

The car is really fast. The DCT is pretty awesome too. Not sure I would love it if I was in stop-and-go traffic all day, but when you are accelerating hard the shifts are just amazing.

Possible future mods?
- lower it by just a hair
- window tint (i don't understand how they let this car leave a factory without tint)
- small spoiler on the trunk
- black front grilles
- upgraded 'boost pipes' and down pipes

Congratulations Phil, nice looking Beamer. Looks like decent power numbers. Also one from the list Roger reffered to in another post. Glad you finally shared it with everyone. Nice list of mods planned.

A sweet ride! Can't wait to see it up close!
So Phil, will this one be the MM rabbit or the MM support vehicle carrying booster cables & air compressor behind Gerry on the runs?!

Nice ride Phil, look forward to seeing it.

Did this one include the optional turn signals?

I don't think it's a good idea to be the rabbit... you would be so far behind me and all... Yeah -- I can hang with Gerry and make sure he doesn't get lost!

haha The turn signal was pretty stiff when I took ownership - not sure it was used very much before me, but I'm breaking it in now.
