  • today we went a little further

    -brand new oem black M3 CSL roof rails from Leebmann arrived today if you are wondering what the difference to the normal ones are, these ones have no flaps/openings for the luggage rack

    -I was at my good friend Lerch Performance today and had my Federal Semis mounted on the freshly powdered CosmisRacing rims

    btw the Compact is a small miracle of space, I've always said

    • -Rear M3 wheel arch liners installed, I need them because I've now converted to an M3 rear and the old ones didn't go as wide and especially as deep as needed, of course you could have put a piece of plastic in there, but wanted a clean solution

      -Annual cure for my air suspension bellows, so that they stay nice and supple

      -put the Rims back on

      -CSL bumpers removed at the front to peel off the remaining foil, although I'm not sure what I'm doing with the front, which is now completely "destroyed" and has had to go through a lot in the almost 10 years since I've been driving it, as you can easily see can recognize

      maybe I will replace it with a new one

          -started to work on the rear wheel houses but need to cut some more away when the rear fenders finally installed

            • today my new M3 CSL front bumper arrived.

              just "pimped" it with an original CSL grid for the intake hole.

              The front will be cleaned and re-equipped with Werk2 magnets for the license plate.

              Furthermore, I also have to shorten/cut the sides again and attach retraction nuts for the front fenders

              • Bumper adjusted / cutted and test mounted, sits, fits and has air

                when the remaining new parts come (bars under headlights and new hood locks) it can be assembled to then determine the points of the draw-in nuts for the front lower fenders.

                • I'm currently replanning my airlift control, tank etc. because my spare wheel well will give way

                  everything is still provisional, I make a nice plate again where everything sits on it

                              • Today we started with the conversion to the M3 exhaust and everything that goes with it, that is

                                -M3 hollow
                                -M3 heat shield
                                -M3 holder activated carbon filter
                                -M3 housing activated carbon filter
                                -M3 reinforcement brace
                                -M3 underbody covers
                                -Mount for M3 exhaust
                                -M3 tailpipes 4x76 from Zanzinger Automobiltechnik

                                I know you could also just have the sheet metal from Mor-Vision, for example. can weld etc. but I have never liked the look of the Inside Performance Exhaus when you looked into the tailpipes at the back and it was the end straight away.

                                But I don't do things by halves, it's all or nothing

                                what was done or started today.

                                -Inside Performance exhaust removed
                                -Welds drilled out on the existing spare wheel recess
                                -M3 trough started to prepare
