Terribly unfortunate, but the ESR wheels are off the car. The vibration continued after 120km/h and going back and forth to different tyre and wheel shops to try to rectify it left me annoyed to a point where i cut my losses and decided to remove them. The seller has refunded me (excluding courier fees) - Its not their problem anymore!

I plan to start tracking the car occasionally as i have access to Yas Marine Circuit when they have their weekly open nights so i decided to put new tyres on the stock wheels. Well, 2 new tyres.

I purchased a pair of Michelin Cup 2's in 275 35 19 for the stock rear wheels and i have used the set of 255 35 19 (PS4S) from the ESR wheels on the stock front wheels.

Ford doing its duties!


Excuse the dirty car, was parked out at the tyre shop the entire day



Keeping the 295 30 19's and acquired a pair of 255 30 19's for the new wheels, both PS4S tyres.. New wheels are in build process, should get them in 5-7 weeks.


I have a problem!! There's 2 sets of rims and a set of tyres there... Plus the stock wheels and new tyres on the car!


Coffee tables!!


Also, in build is a custom steering wheel - More on that later!

M3 will be going in for some maintenance once again, just to prepare for the summer months.

Off she went, to Dubai to the humble abode of Octane garage for:
- Coolant refresh
- DCT service
- Diff service
- DCT Flash
- Update the OEM Software



Before anyone asks, i could have driven it to Dubai (120km), but it costs 250-300aed to catch a taxi back to Abu Dhabi while a recovery truck costs 200aed.

Actually prefer the stock wheels over those others, they look waaaay too small for the car.

Black rims look on point.

With the ESR Wheels leaving a bad taste in my mouth for budget wheels, i opted to get a custom wheel from a reputable brand.

Took some time to look at the options out there and contact some of the companies, dealers etc to see what my options look like.

Was really impressed with the communication and assistance from BC Forged, and ended up placing an order for the LE72.

Spec chosen was pretty much custom and with the help of the team, secured the following.

Front - 9.5j, ET22
Rear - 11j, ET28

After 1 week of option selecting, BC Forged sent me the final renders and then 3 weeks later, the build was completed.
Opted for Matt black centre shift face with gloss black lip and barrels and silver studs.


Within that week, the wheels were shipped and delivered by UPS.


With a complimentary goodie bag - Im a sucker for these!


Had to open them up and have a look immedietly




Test fitting, just to make sure before mounting the tyres on




Tyres mounted and wheels installed to the car
Went for 255 30 19 in front and 295 30 19 rears.






Ordered side skirt extensions as well in the last few days and got it installed.





Wanted to see what the car looks like on a roll, so had a friend drive...




On the way, low!!!

Thanks for watching!
