I am a new to the M3W world. I have 2012 that I hope to take delivery in about 4 to 5 weeks. The dealer I am working with has been great. I am asking him to do some upgrades prior to shipping the car as follows. I am interested to hear everyone's opinion on my plan. I am mechanically inclined so I will also be tinkering with her over the coming years.
Note: I live in North Florida where is can get to the mid 90's F (32 to 34 C). However, I would drive it rarely during this time and if I do, there are no hills or traffic. I will use the car much more in spring, and winter when the humidity is lower.
Tires are original so I am replacing the fronts. The tires are in good shape but th efforts are exposed. Florida UV in the summer can be harsh.
The chassis brace is going in. Again, the dealer is being great. This is going in at NC.
The steering comfort kit is going in to address bump steer.
I am likely going to hold on the urban cooling kit. Although it gets hot here, the humidity here is so brutal I am unlikely to drive much in the summer. If I do, there is no stop and go traffic to the super market or gym.
I am going to bide my time on the cent drive. It has the original coupling and is fine. I realise it could go soon but on the other hand maybe not. I figure I can always have i done close by if I start to hear it go. I just don't see th point of spending $6000+ on something that isn't broken yet. I have resources near by if I am wrong.
That's it. Please let me know what you think.
