I agree with your mod list. As for some of the mods, that personal preference. Most of the ones you selected are performance related and thats awesome.
@@brandtvickery3574 I would, i own this model but how to pass inspection emission tests . Not to mention driving in fear of getting stopped and ticketed for it. Maybe i don't know enough then tell me.
Nice list, but a few other Dinan mods that are worth considering for a "phase 2" are - short shifter, underdrive pulley, front camber plates, rear toe links & ECU software.
Eisenmann has so far made the best sounding exhaust in my opinion for the BMW M3 E92, just have a listen, my gosh the eargasms... It really unleashes the M3's full potential where exhaust sound is concerned
i have a 335i that comes with the stock BBS, they just make the wheels for them and only on the higher spec vehicles, not all of the wheels are BBS....
I'm grown to like the wheel lug bolts on my volkwagen as opposed to a stud with a nut. The tool Volkswagen gives you to install your wheel makes it very easy. It's basically a long plastic rod that you thread in to the top hole and it holds the wheel well while you are mounting it up. Also the wheel bolt feel very high quality. Def 12.9 strength.
yours in pretty much the same setup I had but I had a primary cat delete and bms clutch reducer which I highly recommend on a manual car. Onto a DCT model now, let the mods begin!
When you got to Modification #4 and talked about the springs giving your car a better stance I immediately thought "Poser alert!" The HRE demo on an autocross course went a ways toward reversing that impression. You could do better still if you talk about alignment. What do BMW owners do to make their alignment adjustable? When I go to an autocross there are always some BMWs there (almost all 3-series, mostly E36). They tend to have at least -2.0 degrees camber in the front. Except when it's -3.5 degrees. The guy winning my class (STX) is driving an E36 328i and he hasn't told me everything, but I think he's got -3 degrees or more. His front camber isn't terribly obvious because he also has a lot camber in the rear (-2* or so). I'm under the impression -2* in front (and slightly less in the rear) is a good stopping point for cars that mostly drive on the street. I've only seen a couple of E9x cars at an autocross (in 8 years), so I don't know what they do for alignment, but I know sticking to factory recommendations is not on their agenda.
NIce Vid and list of mods... I have a 2012. Would have been helpful if you had a list of the mods with links in the description. How much weight you saving over the factory 19" comp wheels. Nice exhaust, but I am pretty sure I am going with the Evolve E-Tronic. Thanks for taking the time!
To complete the Dinan package I would add the ECU tune, underdrive pulley, front fixed camber plates, & adjustable rear toe links. I don’t think they make them anymore, but the shorter geared differential was magic with the S65 engine, but pricey.
Eüro Nasty Agreed. To me unless its OEM parts, its like tainting the Mona Lisa. Its fine how it is. Now for me the exceptions would would be tuners like a R34 or a Surpra but thats just it
To me, the only mods that matter on an M3 are ones that enhance performance. Exhaust noise is not performance. Wheels are a matter of taste, unless you change the rubber. Mirror colour is taste not performance (mine are stock AND match my car so don't know why yours weren't ). Lowered stance? again, aesthetics and frankly a recipe for a bad back on potholed UK roads. Short shifter - omg don't get me started on why a DCT makes so much more sense than a manual: faster, smoother, better fuel economy , launch mode.... but.... at least you have the greatest value for money v8 there is :)
Actually I got 305 Michelin Pilot Super Sport 4S And I get NO wheelspin unless I dump the clutch (even after upgrades) and the rims I got (Forgestar F14s) weigh quite a lot less.
Currently own a 2011 Frozen black version, Dct Trans love it but didn't think I would before I bought it. I've got the Snitzer software upgrade/comp pack/ 19" wheels.. Whats your opinion on a good exhaust brand?? Basically wondering if I will see any performance gains worth the price of an exhaust upgrade??
Will have to look up a nice exhaust, wanna stay somewhat economic on price!! whats a good exhaust but somewhat less expensive?? Doing a huge reno to my house next year so money will be directed toward that!!! My car already has the Comp pack and Snitzer upgraded software, just going to do exhaust. I'm not really looking for better sound as I am looking for some performance gains, honestly will I be wasting my money or is there a substancial difference with exhaust??
There is no such think as "cold intake" CF. Carbon fiber does not cool the air charge it only makes a useless cosmetic change that you might look at once or twice a year if opening the hood. Any marketing about a piece of plastic that can cool the air is bogus or so small as to be negligible.
Don't forget the rod bearings and their maintenance.... Its no secret that the powerful S65 V8 that came in the e90 e92 and e93 BMW M3 (2008-2013) has some known mechanical issues. One of the most troublesome is the premature failure of the connecting rod bearings. Research shows that BMW could have added a bit more clearance on the upper shell of the bearing to allow more sufficient oil flow. Some people have tried running thinner than recommended oil as a “band-aid fix” for the issue. Of course, this didn’t help the issue and may even have made it worse, not to mention that a lot of internal components of the engine operate through oil pressure; using a thinner (lighter weight) oil may hinder the overall performance of the engine.
you don't even know the surface of that subject. For someone who has years invested in that topic you are only spreading false part of that issue. Not going to waste time with wrong information but : 1) this issue is not due to the RB, RB take the brunt of it, they're the effect, not the cause. The cause is only known by few including myself who won't tell you and i have reasons for it. And 2) only a very small fraction of cars are affected.
How do I install my Titan X on my 330ci? I can't find the pci-e slot. Could it be my ram? Because I could go for a ddr4 kit for my transmission headers steering wheel? I tried to ignition but my trunk lid mirrors are shot and my window won't turn on the dash antenna for my battery. Should I use triple A batteries for this? I hear they have goo service when it comes to tire horsepower.
Evrerything he is saying is correct but so obvious ,if you by an m3 like myself then these are all normal.Kreissieg do the best sounding valvetronic exhaust
Amater. Oneof the most important things defenetly before spoiler and rims and cold intake are brakes. At least brake pads. Exhaust must be from company akrapovic. They are no.1 in the world.
I'll help & with money also. 4K exhaust?? I can't believe guys pay that for 5 hp & sound. Here is the way to go. Get a DCT m3. They're much faster than the manual transmission. I was hestitant, until I drove one. No need for wheels. My 2010 had the 19 inch BMW wherls. They look awesome. Gio with the cat delete & buy the x pipe. That will be your biggest gain. Get the under drive pulleys. Easy install. Buy the best rated CAI for m3s. Tune?! I couldn't see it fir 1k & getting 12hp. Supercharging the car is 15k. If you decide that route, ess is quality company. I did nitrous 150! Shot for under 1k. That high revving v8 loved it.
I don't know why people are changing something that has been accurately engineered here in Muenchen... If you are a skilled driver you don't need to waist your money in modifying a state of art that you can't handle anyway. Ende der Durchsage!
First of all, fake exhaust tip, never. Must have a real, exhaust pushing pipe. Second, Eventuri has the best intake for this engine. There is very little needed for the breathing on this motor and they admit this in their video for the intake. Only minor tweaks with the flow of air. I have a '11 E92 ZCP, and it sits low and mean from Germany, simple wheel spacers work beautifully.
short throw stick = useless unless you're still learning to shift. HRE wheels uglier than the ZCP, CF intake completely useless, exhaust, ok that is better than without, OEM CF spoiler, good pick.
I agree with your mod list. As for some of the mods, that personal preference. Most of the ones you selected are performance related and thats awesome.

oooo those HRE look great. I have a space gray 2010 e92 m3. Now I know how it'd look =)
Eisenmann race exhaust all day long... With an X pipe... I wouldn't choose anything else (besides IPE)
vdubjetta02 hms
Custom pipe from made from rst. Cost 10% of these overpriced shit companys
timchuk mark didnt u like it
Yep. & drop the cats. These m3s pick up the biggest bolt on gains of them all.
@@brandtvickery3574 I would, i own this model but how to pass inspection emission tests . Not to mention driving in fear of getting stopped and ticketed for it. Maybe i don't know enough then tell me.
says akrapovic is too expensive..buys $4,000 wheel & tire set....
and looks worse than the ZCP GTS wheels that come with this model.
One actually benefits performance but he couldve got something cheaper too easily
I know right, HRE is not a cheap brand... Go Supersprint and get some Breytons...
Nice list, but a few other Dinan mods that are worth considering for a "phase 2" are - short shifter, underdrive pulley, front camber plates, rear toe links & ECU software.
A set of stop techs with race tires would be better than all these mods combined...
I bought a 2011 335 xdrive msport and love it same color
Not Akrapovi(K) it isnt a K, its Akrapovic the ending is (tsch). Balkan Maaan. Peace
Couldn't agree more, had my top 4 picked out before event watching. Exhaust, intake, wheels, short shift, spoiler in order.
Eisenmann has so far made the best sounding exhaust in my opinion for the BMW M3 E92, just have a listen, my gosh the eargasms... It really unleashes the M3's full potential where exhaust sound is concerned
darmerc21 and full neighbourhood
you replaced the beautiful stock rims with some ugly custom market ones
TVCH LORD HREs are top of the line performance wheels, they work with many accredited car companies..
rod bahmanyari they are still ugly. And BMW uses BBS.
'Nuff said.
i have a 335i that comes with the stock BBS, they just make the wheels for them and only on the higher spec vehicles, not all of the wheels are BBS....

Wheels are all a matter of opinion, the wheels he put on are tasteful.
Very tastefully modified. Beautiful.

I like your car, looks simple sounds really nice between 6-8k. you can do these mods on pretty much every car. They're simple to do and fairly cheap.
Nice, I did cutouts on mine. Love them.
Highly professional
Good informative video, well done.
I really really would like to know the tires size, please. THANKS

is the stock spoiler just holding by adhesive?
beautiful car... Ive got 325i but M3 will be mine one day
How is car. You still having. Intend to buy. Advice please
Thanks
What pedal covers do you have. There beautiful. Also where'd you get them

Nice video. Do you think the lowering springs would shorten the life of the factory struts, and how do they affect the ride?
good video!
What size wheels and tires did you go to when you replaced the stock ones that came on the car?
Beautiful car. Miss my space grey N54 every day
I just love that DINAN exhaust
How would a light weight fly wheel work out ?
Beautiful car!
The x looking thing?
Wow now there's a man that knows about bmw's
Smh
I have the Megan Exhaust and Love it.
i enjoyed this video thank you
That Dinan exhaust sounds sweet.
Im a sucker for OEM parts so that M exhaust has to be a must for me
Clayton Cortina I'm a huge OEM pats fan but exhaust would not be one of those things I'd want OEM. To each their own I suppose.
Eüro Nasty Agreed. To me unless its OEM parts, its like tainting the Mona Lisa. Its fine how it is. Now for me the exceptions would would be tuners like a R34 or a Surpra but thats just it
BMW performance parts are WAY overpriced! Their $4k exhaust should be more like $1500.
Mike Bowman Oh definitely
An inconel system for $1.5K new? Not going to happen!
The car has a cold air intake from factory. That dinan piece is just an intake charge pipe.
+bmwblog do you have have opinion on h&r vs dinan Springs? Looks like h&r drop about a half inch more...
To me, the only mods that matter on an M3 are ones that enhance performance. Exhaust noise is not performance. Wheels are a matter of taste, unless you change the rubber.

Hottub Errol please. You'd be happy with neutered factory exhaust? Nope.
Yeah i was tripping because this guy was about the noise. Fuck I'd rather have a car that is silent but violent that loud for nothing.
Actually I got 305 Michelin Pilot Super Sport 4S And I get NO wheelspin unless I dump the clutch (even after upgrades) and the rims I got (Forgestar F14s) weigh quite a lot less.

ever considered an ecu tune?
Chrome on grey looks awesome, I would've saved my money on trim and looked into an ECU tune or better tyres.
Man I love this car. What model hre wheels are those? I'm planning on getting an e90 m3 and love those wheels.
They are HRE FlowForm FF01's
www.hrewheels.com/wheels/flowform
If his shifts are that granny with a short shifter, i can't even imagine what the shifts looked like with stock throw,
DCT is the only way to go with these cars.
how about fixing the issue with the bottom end?
Do the e92 M3's come with an x pipe from factory??
Ro Formance fail
What size are your HRE rims and tire size?
A.J. Rod would also like to know!!
Hello. I did the vid for BMWBLOG - The HREs I run are 19×9” front wearing 255/35/19 and 19×10.5” with 295/30/19s
Thanks for the info.
Chuck Vossler does it rub at all?
Not at all. I was worried about that too but the 255/35/19 fronts, 295/30/19 rears haven't even w/ the lowering springs and my fenders are not rolled.
Will have to look up a nice exhaust, wanna stay somewhat economic on price!! whats a good exhaust but somewhat less expensive?? Doing a huge reno to my house next year so money will be directed toward that!!!

I'm not really looking for better sound as I am looking for some performance gains, honestly will I be wasting my money or is there a substancial difference with exhaust??
Akrapovic are great, but not sure how affordable they are. Maybe you can find a used one
Which size on the wheels and tyres?
405 rears, 390 front.
There is no such think as "cold intake" CF. Carbon fiber does not cool the air charge it only makes a useless cosmetic change that you might look at once or twice a year if opening the hood. Any marketing about a piece of plastic that can cool the air is bogus or so small as to be negligible.
How long do you think these cars will stay at this low price 20-30 k right
Also and you say the price of all the mods
Probably till at least the F8x models are done. The V8's will make this car desirable in the future. So I'm holding onto mine
What for Modifikations can i do with my BMW X1 ?
Dynamic Riderz sell it
DjDeepC1998 looooool
“...you have to buy high quality wheels like HRE’s or BBS...” what’s wrong with the comp BBS wheels? Probably one of the best M wheels ever designed

Id rather just muffler delete it
If buying one how can i think about fuel consumption
Honestly, its horrible. I get may be 11-13 mpg in city. Mine is also modded so that also doesn't help.
Peter K damn bro, I get about 18mpg playing around in the highway in my 5.7 lol
Julian J just don't dude what a chump
the exhaust sounded amazing!
It sounds no different than stock
Nice car! I have the )8, I know what you mean by fender gap! I run a M3 channel called RDDC. Blue logo
the car doesnt really need aftermarket intake, oem intake is good enough and well balanced.
what about the mid pipes
Akrapovic is not pronounced akra-PO-vic. It's pronounced more like uh-CROP-oh-vich.
chrisridebike8 cool
Try Remus race exhaust
nice product placement for DINAN
I was waiting for him to say more Dinan stuff!
I just bought my E93 2013 48800

If 2 of the 4 exhaust tips are fake, why wouldn't bmw just give the 2 larger ones like they do on the 335i? Would look better too in my opinion.

You should learn how to shift and an essimann or however you spell it is a way better exhaust

It still sounds good

It's not a lug it's a bolt!
They are interchangeable
you lost al respect with the fake exhaust ;(
👌🏽
All you need is a front lip and you're set
That's not a ZHP knob tho
2 of those 4 exhausts work... Okay then, u shud have better took the 320i
short throw stick = useless unless you're still learning to shift. HRE wheels uglier than the ZCP, CF intake completely useless, exhaust, ok that is better than without, OEM CF spoiler, good pick.
Those aren’t BMW M3 mods as much as they are everybody’s basic tuner mods to start with
Just have a custom exhaust made for under a grand
Kevin Wiltshire you could. But some of the existing ones are not that expensive and are very good
