Arbee's 2010 BMW E93 ///M3

Stunning Yas, i'm guessing other than the bumps in the basement, there isn't much speed bumps to worry about.

Thanks Sash...

The opposite really, the speed bumps in the basement are the least of the worries, its the speed bumps out on the streets that concern me. I have to raise it a tab, probably 2cm and then balancing the height all around. 
Roads are smooth in general, very seldom do you find a pothole. But the speed bumps make up for that. I am literally 1.8km from the hiway. I park on level 4 of the basement, so to get out my parking bay i need to cross 8 speed bumps and 4 ramps to get to the road. There are 7 speed bumps from the exit of the basement to the hiway.

Great car bru. Pitty you are so far away now, would love to see it in person.

Heyy Marchand, long time man! Thanks for the kind words. Come visit when things normalise!

def bru. When I can 1day afford to travel again. But you are num1 on my Dubai friends visiting list

The height has been adjusted and in the effort to find that sweet spot, this is where we ended up. I like it, a lot actually. However, it needs one final adjustment before i can comfortably drive over speed bumps. LOL.

Apologies for the edited pictures, its been too hot to take picture outside.








I must say that these BC Racing DS coilovers are amazing as the ride comfort is simply amazing. We turned the dampening a few clicks stiffer (still have a long way to go before hitting full stiff) and on the road she feels very planted although not at all back breaking. Happy with the ride stiffness at the moment.

Damn beautiful!  I'm sure you teaching the locals a thing or two when it comes to modding and get alot of heads turning.

Your car is looking beautiful!

I've got the same coilies on my car and yes, it rides better than the OEM EDC shocks on my stock car I feel.

I've got it max low at the front on 20's. I don't have issues over bumps but I think it's because I don't have an aggressive front lip like yours. Looks like atleast 3cm of clearance lost their

Thanks Nish!

I didnt expect these coilovers to be this comfy. I expected slightly back breaking. Very happy with this purchase.

I can still go much lower, but the bumps in the UAE are savage. Yeah the lip does bring the front closer to the ground, which it does kiss the bumps, it makes it over without pushing the bumper. Its the arch liner extension or undercarriage protectors in front of the wheels that are taking the beating. Perhaps i should get the skid-plates from ECS to replace them.

I will still raise it though, the other issue is getting up/down ramps in parking lots, she doesnt like some of them and both home and office have steep inclines to get to my parking bay.

Decided to go with an Alpine off the shelf tune in the interim, my ultimate tuning plan is for @"Sherwin@xcede" to load his magic! Managed to get the Alpine tune via a friend who purchased it for his car and decided to sell the car rather.

Opted for 2 maps:
Map 1 - For winter months
98 RON octane stage 1
Servotronics
Top speed limiter removal
Red line increase 8500

Map 2 - For summer months
95 RON octane stage 1
Servotronics
Red line increase 8400

Preparing to load the tune, plugged in the battery tender.


Tune loaded and initial impressions are favorable. Feels a lot smoother through the rev range, a slight increase in power is noticeable. Have not really pushed it properly yet...

Some recent pics...




Next on the cards, a cool little interior upgrade - Sent for custom upholstery.
