    I LOVE the front splitters. You're doing everything i'll be doing when I upgrade my F30 to an M3!

    Looks good! I’m torn about the upper splitters on my f80 m3. The car is black so it won’t be as noticeable, but def need to order the side skirts they look great. Time for you to get a trunk spoiler next!

    • @TommyLGarage
      @TommyLGarage  7 років тому

      Christian Perles haha yea I already ordered the spoiler and mirror caps. That and rear bumper pieces will complete the exterior look. That is until it’s time for new wheels haha

    The upper front splitters look great, makes the F80 look a lot better

    Def looked great on the front splitters topic. Front is perfect. Do not take it off unless you plan to change the complete look.

    • @TommyLGarage
      @TommyLGarage  7 років тому

      okayGK I think you’re right. Thanks for your thoughts.

    Great Video Tom, I love the side skirts. The front splitter doesn't look bad but I myself actually prefer the GTS Style front splitter, looks much more aggressive.

    • @TommyLGarage
      @TommyLGarage  7 років тому

      Assion Ayikutu I love the GTS splitter but I could not drive with it. I barely get up certain driveways as is. And it’s my daily so I need to be somewhat reasonable :)

    • @TommyLGarage
      @TommyLGarage  7 років тому

      CBV Group thank you! Much appreciated. I was also on the fence but once I saw one in person I knew I had to have it. Let me know if you have any questions or need someone to push you and commit to this! Hehe

  • @enriosso3604
    @enriosso3604 7 років тому +3

    The upper splitters look really good they make the car look much more aggressive it just completes the front. I will get a pair for my f80 too. You mind telling me where you got the splitters from?

      Be sure they’re flat heads. They need to sit flush with the body of the car. V-heads won’t work

    • @TommyLGarage
      @TommyLGarage  6 років тому +1

      Elton Machado thanks. I kind of grew to like the upper splitters. They’re easy to remove so I can always do that. Thanks for watching by the way.

    What are the measurements for the suspension?

    • @TommyLGarage
      @TommyLGarage  6 років тому

      d choi according to Macht Schnell it’s a drop of 1.1 inch up front and 0.8 inches in the rear. Personally for me it sits a bit too low in the rear. I might have to look for another solution

  • @AprilVic
    @AprilVic 7 років тому +2

    Im never a fan of the front upper splitters, several reasons: 1. too much carbon! 2. you have the side skirts, front lower splitters and lip that have oem counter parts, bmw doesn't make upper splitters for a reason (it just doesn't look right). 3. Combining with the lower splitters on a non-black car the front looks like it's having two duck beaks on both sides of the bumper. I don't know if my language makes sense but you can pause the video at 10:18 and focus your eyes on the passenger side of the splitters. They really look like a duck beak to me. Just my 2 cents.

    • @TommyLGarage
      @TommyLGarage  7 років тому

      Victor Yao you make a great point. That’s why I’m torn between keeping them on and taking them off. I’ll see how they’ll hold up and will decide. At least they’ll protect my bumper at the next track day!
