Thumbs up Ordered new seats for the M3

Just a little update about my M3 (if anyone cares, haha) Got it back 2 weeks ago from Dinan. There's a list of the complete mods in my profile and a few more I haven't listed yet. 365 WHP!Also, I just ordered some Sparco Milano Prestige seats today. I'll be keeping 2 in it for driving around town (the fiancee doesn't want to sit on the floor, lol) and taking the passenger out for track events. Why new seats? Well I got rid of all the power stuff for the seats in the name of lightening, as well as any other extraneous stuff (GPS, sound system, rear etc.) If I can't buy a M3 CSL (or drive one legally) in this country, I'll have to make my own! The M3 is now going to be my SCCA car. When they come in I'll take some pics of them when I take 'em out of the box and when I have them in the car. imp:

Hawk - I'm keeping them, don't worry They're just a bit heavy for my needs
FLBrian - It's dynoed at 395 WHP, typo. At the fly I think it's around 430ish. I'm just starting to do some serious lightening now, which will help a lot. There's some more parts coming out in the future from Dinan that I am waiting for and I'm looking into more internal stuff, but I only know of Dinan at this point (know of any others?). I've basically bought all Dinan has available for the model except for their custom Superchagers, but I'm sticking to NA, I don't like blowers/turbo/NOS etc. It's still a work in progress

sigh... All of this is going to be in my opinion so please dont get the wrong idea!

First.... SG Metallic is a sweet color, I was thinking of that color myself but, Now turned towards, Alpine White.

I think there are too many grey colored BMWs out there, and i just think that white on an M3 flows very nicley... But then again... U wanted a CSL

The OEM Seats are the best... At least i think so... I hope the ones you chose will fit nicley!

Eitherway... Still an M3 (:

Are you going to replace the trunk lid with cardboard?

I said I wouldn't in the post, only internals to come. None of that FI crapola for me! I also don't need heated/cooled/massaging seats during autocross events so that's why their outta there.
Cardboard trunk, hehehe

I agree with you Jay. There are too many gray Bmw's on the roads by us. I think Alpine White is such a sexy color for any bmw. I don't care if its consider "girly". A white m3 is so fresh and clean.
