My Project M3 - GTS | HRE R101LW | TAG Motorsports
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com Pretty much the second the M4 GTS was spotted in camouflage and posted on Bimmerpost, I knew one of two things were necessary in my life: an M4 GTS, or at the very least, my M3 stuffed with GTS goodies. Well, I don’t have a GTS, so at that moment my relentless hunt for GTS parts began. After many months of searching, the universe and the stars aligned, and one presented itself to me. The wait for an OEM hood was worth it, and it’s by far my favorite addition. I opted for painting the bottom section of the hood in Gloss, as opposed to the dry-carbon look of how it comes from factory. Next up was the GTS front lip, another item I had been obsessing about since the spy photos. For the lip, I knew going OEM would be something I would regret later, should my car have a close encounter with the earth. In enters RKP Composites, the kings of OEM quality in the Carbon Fiber aftermarket world. Using OEM hardware, the RKP lip mounts directly to the frame of the car, behind the bumper. The lower tray was done in Alpine White, but with it, my front ground clearance drops to about 1/2 an inch. I’ll shoot it again with the lower tray once my nose lift system from Status Gruppe is installed. Here’s a list of mods on my M3: 2015 BMW M3 - 20x10 and 20x12 HRE R101 Lightweight (R101LW) Wheels in Gloss White Finish - 255/30/20 & 305/25/20 Hankook Ventus V12 + - OEM GTS Hood - RKP GTS Front Lip with Bottom Tray in Alpine White (not pictured) - TAG Painted Calipers - TAG Painted Reflector Package - AWE Tuning SwitchPath Non-Resonated Exhaust with Diamond Black 102mm tips - GIAC Stage I ECU Flash Tune - BMC High Performance Air Filters - BMW Performance Alcantara Steering Wheel - BMW Performance Alcantara Shift Knob & Boot - BMW Performance Alcantara Armrest - BMW Performance Floor Mats - Status Gruppe Carbon Fiber Rear Diffuser in 1x1 Weave - Status Gruppe Carbon Fiber Rear Decklid Spoiler in 1x1 Weave That being said, I finally had some downtime that lined up with a gorgeous sunset and my camera being with me, and I couldn’t help myself since I’ve been dying to shoot my car with the GTS goodies on. I’m absolutely in love with the current setup. Enjoy the photos! What do you guys think? If you have any questions please feel free to PM, give us a call or click Here to shoot us an email. |

Car looks great but damn those wheels must get dirty and be an absolute bitch to keep clean.

absolutely beautiful!!
Love every part of it, down to the teal brakes (which is my favorite thing I did to my F80). The white wheels are a bold move, but work perfectly. I would not want to clean those barrels though hahah

And yeah, switching to ceramic pads is the main reason these haven’t been refinished in another color yet. It’s actually not bad at all now. The car shows dirtiness before the wheels do. |
