By Light and By Dark, Vol. 2 | Stealth Black G87 M2

My G87 M2 progression continues.

This car continues to be such a joy to modify, walk toward/glance back at, and drive. With a few new exterior carbon pieces, everything exterior-wise is pretty well dialled in.

Original thread pre-carbon pieces here – https://g87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh….php?t=2113694

I posted a review of the MHC+ Edition 1 kit here – https://g87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh….php?t=2128981

Long story short, I couldnt be happier with the quality, fitment, and appearance of the kit. It is not inexpensive, but I feel like I truly got what I paid for with it.

Exterior appearance parts summary:

• OEM 827M wheels, satin black
• 18mm/15mm spacers
• Black painted roundels
• Reflector deletes
• KW HAS kit
• TRE CS rear trunk lip spoiler
• MHC+ Edition 1 exterior carbon fibre kit (diffuser, spats, side skirts, front lip spoiler)

Raw photos of this car make me want to dial everything down, suck some light out, and add some grit. I love the presence this car has in person.

Photos shot on a Fujifilm X-H2 (lenses: 200mm F/2, 8-16mm F/2.8, and 56mm F/1.2) and Leica Q3 (Summilux 28m f/1.7).

CTE Carbon Ceramic Brakes

Greetings from CTE Carbon Composites!

As a new vendor (and a new brand), we are looking for a tester/development partner in the F80 Community for our Carbon Ceramic Brakes. While we already have the G80 fitment available, we would like also to make an F80 fitment.

Note: We were vendors before on the E9X forum (MFactory) but decided not to change our username to reflect the new company as we still get PMs from customers.

You can learn more about CCB/CCM Brakes and why our Brakes are superior to our competitors HERE <- This page also answers all of the questions surrounding CCB/CCM brakes, their advantages and disadvantages.

Achieve the ultimate in stopping power with the CTE Carbon Ceramic Brakes. By upgrading from regular Iron Brakes to Carbon Ceramic, you can experience a dramatic increase in braking performance throughout the temperature range.

Attachment 3537505

Attachment 3537506
Close up of our Nissan GTR Rear CCM Disc

Diamond Cut to exacting tolerances from T700s-grade Continuous (Long) Carbon Fibre imported from Toray Japan
Our near-peer competitors use inferior T300-grade Continuous (Long) Carbon Fibre (T700s has a tensile strength approximately 40% greater than the cheaper T300 grade), while most other competitors on the market (including Brembo/SGL and OE, which are no different from the cheap Chinese Knock-Offs available) cut corners and use T300-grade Chopped (Short) Carbon Fibre, which is the primary reason for the infamous cracked discs, giving CCM Brakes their bad reputation.

Designed using leading-edge Solidworks 3D CAD & Cosmos FEA software
Advanced heat profiling and rigorous real-world testing in partnership with both OE and professional race teams (Ferrari S.p.As 488 Challenge Cars, BYD Autos U9 Hypercar and Three Five Motorsports Rally Cars, to name a few) around the world ensure a competitive advantage over our competitors! Fully inclusive testing covers our 3 main target markets: Professional Circuit Racing, Professional Rally Racing and High-End Street Performance.

Our Winning Formula?: "Vertical Integration Manufacturing" (currently at 90%) + Governmental & Military Contracts + OE Contracts (Aerospace & Automotive). By fully controlling our supply chain, this allows us to offer "Superior" consumer-level products at significantly "Lower Cost" than our competitors!

Specifications

• Made from T700s-grade Continuous (Long) Carbon Fibre imported from Toray Japan
• 2pc floating brake discs. Bells are machined from Forged 6066-T6 Aluminium (not the cheaper 6061-T6 as commonly used by our competitors)
• Patented fastener mechanism, consisting of larger M8 bolts (not the common M6 used by our competitors) forged from Stainless A4-70 grade steel
• Dynamic Test Simulations on our in-house Horiba Brake Dynamometer ensure optimum performance under ALL conditions
• ECE R90 E11 Certified Brake Pads. Choose between Street or Race Pads when ordering
• The ONLY brake manufacturer in the world actively pursuing TUV certification of Carbon Ceramic Brake Discs. Whilst it is mandatory for regular Iron discs to be TUV certified, this does not currently apply to Carbon Ceramic Brake Discs (i.e Your expensive supercar does not have fully certified brakes)
• CTE Carbon Ceramic Brake Discs can be resurfaced approx. 3-4 times over the lifespan of the disc, equivalent to having an "as new" disc each time
• Designed for use with OE Calipers, CTE Racing Calipers and select Aftermarket Calipers
• The ONLY brake manufacturer in the world to offer 290mm & 330mm fitments (for 15"/16"/17" wheels)

So why upgrade your standard iron brakes to Carbon Ceramic brakes?

For Race Applications

• Can withstand much higher temperatures than iron discs & pads, thus reducing the chances of "Brake Fade" significantly
• Do not "warp" or "deform" at extreme track temperatures, thus do not experience uneven pad wear like iron discs & pads do
• Are far more durable than iron discs & pads, thus have a far longer service life
• Are, like-for-like, around 40-50% lighter than the equivalent iron disc, thus significantly reducing "rotating mass"
• Have a higher coefficient of friction than iron discs & pads, thus increasing braking performance

For Street Applications

• Provide a more direct braking feel (you must use the correct pads)
• Improved braking performance in both wet & dry conditions, over the full operational temperature range (again, you must use the correct pads)
• Almost no brake dust whatsoever. Those who regularly wash their cars will most appreciate this
• Less noise, vibration and harshness (NVH. Again, you must use the correct pads)
• Have a service life over 3 times that of iron discs & pads. In other words, they will last you almost the lifetime of your car
• For the show car (yes, we realise some of you may find this cringe), nothing looks better than Carbon Discs that fill your wheels
• For those that already have Carbon Ceramic Brakes on their High-End performance car, superior direct-replacement brakes at 50% of the cost!

As previously mentioned, we already have the G80 fitment available. This comes in at $6965.96 (inc. 10% discount off MSRP) for the Front Pair inc. Pads.

As the F80 uses slighter smaller discs/pads (380mm vs 390mm), this would likely be priced a few hundred $s less.

You can view more information on our range of Carbon Ceramic Brake Pads HERE.

You can learn more about CCB/CCM Brakes and why our Brakes are superior to our competitors HERE.

SPONSORSHIP OFFER: If you track your car and believe you can provide us with decent marketing exposure AND technical feedback, please contact us. All sponsored drivers receive a 50% Discount Off MSRP (exc. shipping), which would put the price around $3xxx for the Front Pair + Pads.

NEW FITMENTS: If you have a fitment other than the F80/G80 (e.g E92) and have the technical and practical experience to help us develop new fitments, please contact us.

If you have any questions at all, please dont hesitate to PM me, send us a WhatsApp or visit our website for full details on our Product Range, Manufacturing Process as well as Technical Articles: https://www.ctecarbon.com

Rob@StrasseWheels AW G80 M3 Comp Build Journey

Hey everyone!

I’ve been a proud member of this forum since 2011, and throughout the years, I’ve had the pleasure of owning two E92 M3s (2008 Space Gray & 2013 Mineral White) and an F82 M4 (Mineral White). Now, I’m back in an Alpine White G80 M3, and let me tell you, this one is on another level of fun!

After a little over a year of enjoying this beast, I decided its finally time to share the journey. So, here’s the official build thread for my G80 M3. Expect regular updates and plenty of pics as the mods keep rolling in. Trust me, you won’t want to miss this.

Let’s rewind a bit: I placed the order on August 22nd, 2022, and took delivery on July 31st, 2023. The wait was excruciatingly long—almost a full year! The original dealership played hardball, constantly pushing me back in line and even suggested I pay a $10k markup to get bumped up. I wasn’t about to drop that kind of cash on an Alpine White M3—maybe for an Individual color, but not this one. So, I canceled the order after months of waiting and, through a buddy in the business, connected with a local dealership. Shoutout to Konrad for making the magic happen and taking care of me!

Build Spec:

2023 G80 M3 Competition
Alpine White
Fiona Red Full Merino Leather
Executive Package
Driving Assistance Package
Parking Assistance Package
LED Laserlight Headlights – A must!
19/20 826M Black Wheels
Carbon Fiber Interior Trim
Drive Recorder
Wireless Charging

Being in the wheel industry, I’ve always been drawn to BMWs—not just for their performance, but also for the way they look and drive. This M3 needed to stand out, not just with its aggressive stance but also with a custom wheel setup that truly reflects its character.

The mods were planned and ready to go before the car even arrived. I didn’t waste any time getting this build underway.

Exterior:

CRBN Industries Carbon Fiber Grill
CRBN Industries Carbon Fiber Air Ducts
CRBN Industries CS Spoiler
CRBN Industries Carbon Fiber Mirrors
CRBN Industries Carbon Fiber Antenna Cover
Stradale Design GTS Carbon Fiber Front Lip
50th Anniversary Roundels
IND Alpine White Painted Front Reflectors
IND Yellow DRLs
70% Ceramic Tint on all windows

Wheels & Suspension:

Strasse SV10-RS Ultralight Carbon in 20×10 & 20×11
Michelin Pilot Sport 4S in 275/30/20 and 295/30/20
AST HAS Lowering Kit

Engine Mods:

MAD Fat Boy Catless Downpipes
MAD Single Midpipe
MAD Axle Back Exhaust w/ Silver Tips
MAD Carbon Fiber Cold Air Intake
Alpine White Painted Engine Cover
Gloss Red Powder Coated Strut Brace

Interior Mods:

Carbon Fiber Steering Wheel with Black Perforated Leather and ///M Stripe

I’m beyond excited to share more updates as they come. This is just the beginning, and I can’t wait to see where this build goes. Feel free to ask any questions or share your thoughts—I’m here for it!

Delivery Day – July 31st, 2023

A typical rainy day in Miami didn’t dampen the excitement. My buddy made sure the M3 was delivered to me, making the whole process smooth and easy. After the full intro and walk-through of the M3’s features, I was even more pumped to finally get behind the wheel. Here she is, right next to my brother’s 740i M Sport.

The next morning. Blown away at how fun this car is!

Ceramic Tint Day

I’m not a fan of dark tinted windows, so I opted for 70% Ceramic tint all around. It’s almost clear but does an excellent job of keeping the Miami heat at bay. Now, the cabin stays cool no matter how hot it gets outside.

First round of mods come in thanks to Ryan over at IND!

While waiting for the wheels to be made, I received the first set of mods: the AST HAS lowering kit, Yellow DRLs, Alpine White painted front reflectors, and the Carbon Antenna cover.

M Track Day 2024 Report: Monticello Motor Club

I attended an M Track day for the first time yesterday. It was held at Monticello Motor Club in Monticello, NY. Maybe some of you were also in attendance. This was my first time on a track. They had a fleet of comp awd M3s for lead-follow sessions. I lucked out and got my own M3 for the first session so I didnt have to rotate with a partner. It had carbon buckets and carbon ceramic brakes. I understand now why people get these options. Driving the m3 on a track has given me a much deeper appreciation for this car. I may never track my own but can see now what its truly capable of. They are incredible machines. Towards the end, the BMW instructors took the group on a hot lap of the track, which was mind blowing. Other events included autocross with M2s and 0-60 challenge with XM, iX, i4 and i5s. Anyways, Ill be attending again next year. This was the most fun Ive had in years. Heres a few crappy pictures to share.

Picked Up 2025 M3 LCI in Dravit Grey With Silverstone Interior

My wife and I just got our first BMW and couldn’t me more excited..

We started looking at used M3 Comp X drives an early July and couldn’t find anything that we could agree on. I got lucky and stumbled across a 2025 dealer ordered 2025 that hadn’t been claimed yet. Pretty much exactly what we wanted, minus the full leather. I would have added that if it were my custom order, but decided I didn’t want to wait. We have a deposit on the car on 7/29 and it went into production shortly after. Just showed up today.

Dravit grey with silverstone interior. We got lucky and won the tire lottery as well. I’ve had a set of H&R springs and spacers waiting in my garage before the car arrived. Hoping I can get them installed next week along with some window tint and ceramic coating. May add front end PPF. We’ll see…
