Lowered the M3 more on KW V3 coilovers and put on 19" Work Meister S1R wheels in Bright Buff Finish, made in Japan. Tires are Yokohama S-Drives which are also Japanese.

Full List:

KW V3 Coilovers
Dinan Camber plates
Eisenmann Sport Exhaust
Challenge Sport Xpipe (HFC)
ESS Tune
BMW Performance Spoiler with CRT stripe
BMW Performance Short Shift Kit
BMW Edition Front and Side Grilles

Dude... You had me for a second there.

I LOVE Work Meisters. I keep thinking of buying a set for my S2000.

Good choice, they apparently also look great on the M3.

Love the wheels as you know, but not sure yet on that front lip. It looks like a tongue. I don't like how the "openings" on the side of it are left... "open."
