<p style="font-family:'Helvetica Neue';color:rgb(35,35,35);">Spring is here, well sort of and my M3 mods are done (for now). Only had time for a wash, Iron X, clay and a one-step with Poli-Seal followed by Opti-Seal to spruce her up prior to installation. Wheels received Opti-Coat 2.0 over winter before bolt-up (as posted earlier). Dropped off at ACM for install of the 380mm Brembo BBK, Ohlins Road & Track coil-overs and HREs. Fuller detail to follow when the earth moves closer to the sun. Looks pretty good for 1-step I think. Photos courtesy of Matt at ACM.

72offsuit- Love that BBK!


 


The coated wheels oughta be very easy to maintain....you planning to just wash 'em with regular shampoo mix?


 


You got enough fenderlip clearance with that setup?  You're sure gonna have to jack it up at every wash to clean out the wells/etc.  Not *that* big a deal, I have to jack up maybe half of my vehicles every time....

Thanks, think the BBK makes the look, the OEM calipers are effective but ugly and the Brembo's dust less. Washed the wheels today with Opti No-Rinse and bevy of brushes it is hard to even get the wheels wet, Opti-Coat just sheds the water. BBK got 2.0 coated as well before install. Have a small brush that cleans all visable parts of fender well, wheels off or floor jack to get it all. After letting springs settle raised it very slightly adding bit more rake and have no rubbing.
