At A Crossroad Between Two Mods...

hl0m4n · 04-03-2008, 03:16 AM

it is 4:06 am and for the past 4 hours i have been doing more extensive research on using spacers at the front. although many people on m3forum and e46 say they use them some all year around and some even track but after further research and youtube videos of spacers failing it made me change my mind.

instead i have decided to get the morr vs8 in gunmetal (pictures to be released by fri-sat

). but this puts me at a crossroad with another mod as the price of the morr vs8 is far different than the oem zcp setup i was planning on going.

Morr VS8:
Rims W/ Shipping: $2,650
+Tires: $534 (General 235/265)
+TPMS: $216
+Mounting/Road-Force Balancing: $80
+Additional Shipping (Tires+TPMS): $50
+Rim Install (DIY Or Shop): $50
+Rear Fender Roll: $50 (hyperm3)
Total: $3,630
Reinbursement: OEM 189 W/ TPMS & tires $700-900 or keep.

OEM M-Technik Body Kit + CF Diffuser Package:
Package: $2,499
+Shipping: $350
+Paint: $854 (includes tax)
+Install $0 (forum member just wantes beer

)
Total: $3,703
Reinbursement: oem front bumper, sideskirt, and rear ($100-150 each?)

still want to clearbra the front bumper running me an extra $300-400 about?

yes, i wish i can afford both but for right now it's one or the other... very sad i know

but i can always buy used morr vs8 given it some time.

how much the oem front bumper, sideskirt, and rear sell for?

um i'd get the body kit and diffuser.

i say m kit...

Hula-Hula · 04-03-2008, 04:18 AM

M-kit is the way to go

hl0m4n · 04-03-2008, 09:59 AM

and if you add the m3 trunk spoiler from tischer the look of the car will be done. only thing left for me is vorsteiner trunk lid and hodd and exterior is voila finished besides the rims of course

m-tech

I'm going to vote for the VS8's just to be difficult, and because they're the greatest wheels ever

If there's a shitload of E9x's in your area, though, M-Tech might be better just to not blend in with the neighbors quite so much.

I'm thinking out of the box here. Put the money in the bank. Add $300 every month, and pay cash for your next car. Have no car payments the rest of your life.

Tommy420 · 04-03-2008, 12:46 PM

I'd get some sleep if I were you.

pacman · 04-03-2008, 01:18 PM

buy the mtech kit...sell the old bumpers...buy csl reps.. i'm sure it will cost just a lil more than u expected to spend... but u'll have a completely different looking car

maximka · 04-03-2008, 01:25 PM

MMMMM

E90330iS · 04-03-2008, 01:49 PM

M-Tech.. much better deal than just a set of wheels

Go back in your box, it's not one of the poll choices.

jrd · 04-03-2008, 02:24 PM

get the M-tech kit

mJ335 · 04-03-2008, 02:32 PM

MTECH of course!!!
and why get VS7s? get the gunmetal CSL reps! They look better IMO and much cheaper

Psylight · 04-03-2008, 02:48 PM

M Tech!!!

hl0m4n · 04-03-2008, 02:48 PM

even better i believe i can add a clear bra to the front bumper and still be less than morr vs8. anyone could give estimate on just clear braing the front bumper?

i could just give them the bumper after i get painted as that would be easier no?

im just waiting for the gunmetal vs8 photos. then i will decide and let you guys know with pics

cas · 04-03-2008, 03:43 PM

neither. they are instantly worth $0 if you plan on selling your car
