Ive finally gotten around to taking and editing some pics of my G80 in Macao Blue. I took delivery in July 2023 after an 14 month process. Ive got about 9k miles on it now. This is my first M3 and I love everything about it. Ive had an E90 335i 6Spd previously but this is a different animal obviously. It is very violent but extremely precise. Tearing up the interstate in this animal is the absolute dream. I dont track it and dont intend to. I cant imagine how ballistic the Competitions are. The 6 speed is fast enough.
The color, Macao Blue Metallic, really messes with your mind. In direct sun light it leans purple except at the most direct sun lit part, where it looks more of a lighter shade of blue. On overcast days it looks more deeper blue than purple more towards the tanzanite side or some kind of navy. Other times it can look black or dark gray. Its super dynamic and I love it. There is nothing like it on the road and I get compliments all the time.
I had the car full PPFd and tinted right after delivery at Speed and Tech in Sterling, VA and that was a great experience. Ill go back there for any further mods that they are able to perform. RJ is a straight shooter and is super super responsive and thorough.
I installed wheel spacers on my own. I put Future Classic 15mm in the front and 12mm in the back. I may move the 15mm to the back and grab some 18mm for the front for a more aggressive stance. I had also swapped out the P-Zeros for Michelin PS All Seasons before the spacer install. No rubbing at all with those. I also put on the floating center caps because they were a gift. I thought they would be lame but I actually like them.
My Wish List:
- M Performance Front Splitter. The front end without a splitter looks awkward IMO, especially after seeing many photos with one and I really think I just like the M Performance one.
- Brake Pads. Likely the EBC Red Stuff Brake pads but convince me otherwise. As everyone else has pointed out, the brake dust and brake squeal are horrendous.
- Edelweiss Wheels, Square Set Up. Lately all I can see is that I dont have a square set up and it bothers me. Not sure which finish I want to go with yet. I do like the OEM wheels but I think a winter/summer swap would be good.
- Eventuri Carbon Fiber Intake. It just looks awesome and premium.
- Strut tower brace. The factory one leaves something to be desired.
Anyway, you can follow the car on instagram @macaom3. Perhaps we will connect in the future. Cheers!
