Are you gonna get those dual front bumper CF splitters or a CSL bumper? Would look really nice on your car.
Thanks man.

I had the vorsteiner csl bumper for a short while with a 1 piece carbon fiber race spliter, but went back to OEM. Reasons being is that the OEM bumper with the fog light openings is a great way to keep the brakes cool. With the CSL bumper, the brakes can't get enough air to cool down since the 1 hole in the csl bumper is directed towards the air intake. Function over form!

Yeah true, the CSL doesn't have openings. You could still get the dual splitters for the OEM bumper. Looks nice and matches the CSL diffuser and trunk.

Nah. I never liked when those are just are on. They look weird since they just sit right on top of the bumper. Looks cheap to me. Plus, serves no purpose other than just looks. Function over form

Not the cheapest car to own, but if you do your homework and look for one with all maintenance up to date and such, it's not bad. Plus I DIY everything on the car so it saves a quite a bit of money. However, if you bring it to the dealer and let someone else do the work, ti can get expensive. Got to remember, even though they are affordable these days, it still has that 60-70k price tag and parts and such haven't changed so it is pricey.

I've had the car for almost 2 years now and it has been absolutely flawless since day one. Been the most reliable car I've owned to date.

I'm debating on selling my 07 G35x next year for an M3 now lol it'd be sick if I could find a decent one in good shape with low miles

Mines an 04 fully loaded with 39k currently. I got it with 26k december of 09. It was and still is a true gem. Hardly broken in! Do your research and look around. Hop onto m3forum.net and you'll find a lot of great info on there. You can find me on there as well (m3freak86). Let me know if you have any questions!

Nice! If you don't mind me asking how much was your M when you bought it? I found some decent ones for like 17 - 20k which actually isn't too bad at all

I've been wanting to go out and take some legit shots of the car for a while. I have taken some nice photos before, but I really wanted to get some real good shots. Went out Saturday morning to work on my photog skills and ended up with this. Still not the best, but I am happy with the results. Also, I took some video while I was there and put together a short "movie". Always wanted to put a montage of some sort together. Enjoy!
