That is one mean looking ride

Total respect to the work and "money" put into this. Not many would.
Have done something similar on a car MANY years ago, and understand you get to a point of thinking, its all or nothing now if I'm going any further with it. Glad to see you chose the 2nd option and thanks for sharing the pics

That's exactly the case

So many people ask why I spent so much but I got to a point where it's all or nothing. Since I'm keeping the car I might as well make it something I want to drive.

No worries, I'll keep the pics coming.

Ordered a Supersprint Downpipe & Supersprint Frontpipe. Can't wait to install it to completed the Full System.

I wonder how loud it would get

Recorded a video before I install the downpipe & frontpipe.

Thanks, I guess it highlights the LCI lights on a black on black car.

I would recommend getting the M Performance trim it adds subtle amounts of Carbon Fiber with Alcantara which upgrades the quality of the interior with a sporty flair.

I would consider the M3 Carbon Fiber trim.

The gloss carbon is amazing

Where did you get the LCI centerstack? How was the install? I like the center console having the ambient lighting and wonder if it's not too costly to get it done myself.

I'll PM you the details. It was quite simple to install & gives a great effect to the cabin. Not too expensive.

Inc71 · 09-30-2015, 06:04 AM

Damn what a well-done transformation! I absolutly love what you did!

Wouldn't mind that info too

Looks incredible

Too bad I have red leather, won't be as much of a contrast as in your car but still worth looking into.

Indeed, it gives the car presence

Can't wait to install the SuperSprint Downpipe & Frontpipe to it

Ordered a F80 Instrument cluster, can't wait to install it. Putting the GruppeM on hold for now.

Dante · 10-01-2015, 12:28 AM

Wow mate, retrofitting the M3 Cluster really is a mod that's hard to tackle! Lots of in depth coding required to get things working like they should!
I know someone who did it (probably the first) and it took him weeks to get it near to full functionality.

WOW!! You are my hero! I cant wait to see how this turns out. I simply dont have the balls to try this, not because of the coding involved but because I know I will damage something taking the car apart to install this.

This is definitely one of my favorite build threads!!!!!

Would you mind also sending me details???? I assume the ambient lighting can be changed from orange to white as well? What pieces are exactly part of the LCI trim??
