Looking good!!! Personally I'd stick with the matte black, not a fan of too much CF. Spoiler looks great and I do have the OEM CF splitters on my M3 but that's about as far as I would go. But that's just me... How does the RPI exhaust sound?

The axle-back is perfect since this it my summer daily driver. The full exhaust is VERY VERY loud but then, the power gains is amazing. LOL. I bought the convertible not for speed. More for looks and enjoy that it's an M. Honestly, it feels freakin SLOW! It did feel better with the RPi Ram Air and RPi axle-back.

M5 is WAY WAY WAY WAY quicker. The E93 M3 is heavier than the M5 with 2 less cylinders! When I;m in the M5, I can hardly pedal to the metal for prolonged periods of time. This M3, I can pedal to the metal a lot longer. The handling feels more nimble in the M3. I can also take every corner sideways WAY easier. Maybe because it has less power and shorter wheelbase. ANd maybe I feel more nervous in my M5 and I don;t care for as much in this M3. I dunno. But then today, we did an ESS Tune on an e93 M3 with fabspeed high flow cats, eisenmann race, pulley, rpi ram air, it feels fast! But then again, I dont wanna drop a few thousand bucks more. When I wanna go fast, I'll take the M5. When I wanna enjoy the sun, take the M3.

By no means the M3 is slow. A CL65 AMG wanted to race me today and another M5 was on my ass the whole time when I was driving back home from work. No way I am gonna race them in this heavy car ESPECIALLY with the top down. I stepped on it a bit but they didnt lose me. All I know is that it does NOT feel the same as the M5 in power wise. If it has the RPi full GTM exhaust with pulleys with RPI Ram Air Induction with the ESS Tune, then it will feel close.
