Mineral Grey M4 CS Build

[Mehdimoi]

Hey everyone,
I recently got a new M4 ZCP after crashing my old regular one. I am now almost entirely done building it the way I was picturing it. All my mods have been cosmetic, the only time I’ll be touching the ECU is to get rid of that damn OPF which ruins the whole sound experience.
I’ve attached a few pictures and was wondering which rims you all like best, 763 or 666. Also is there any other mods I should consider? I’m planning on getting an AC Schnitzer front lip but don’t know if anything more is worth it?

that hood+rear lights+painted calipers
Nice!
It seems like you already did everything except the front lip. I am no expert on front lips but you really need to get one to finish the look! I am running OEM m-performance lip painted in gloss black BTW.
Please keep posting until you're done with the mods. My car is the same color as yours and your pics really convinced me that the cs hood is a must.

I agree the front lip is a must! Thank you, the hood definitely adds a lot of aggressiveness to the car. The lines plunging towards the vent, especially in Mineral Grey look great. I’m currently travelling for work but will post more as soon as I’m back

763M wheels any day (over the heavy and pita to clean 666M). OEM CS front lip but it's pricey.

Get 666m with the shadow finish chrome are eh. 763M look good with the CS space gray OEM color the powder coat looks bad to me.

If the only option is to keep one of the two in the pictures you posted my vote is black 763m.

Also, definitely blackout the chrome m4 badge looks like it belongs on a civic m4 (pretty sure it should've already been black as it's a ZCP).

Get a CS replica lip imo for literally a third of the OEM price not worth paying OEM price if you are gonna risk breaking it. Good companies make identical replicas (visually).

I'm also looking for a nice front lip, where do you recommend getting one?

Very nice, how much did those OLEDs set you back?

Monaco Motorsports makes a good CS replica lip. RW carbon too

[trendy26]

Is that an OEM CS hood or aftermarket brand?

Is the CS came with OLED taillights?

[Mehdimoi]

The hood is OEM, as are almost all the parts. For the side skirts I went the 3D Design route as I wanted them in CarbonFiber to keep in line with the look of the car. BMW doesn’t make cf side skirts as far as I am aware.

Thank you I actually got a pretty good deal on the OLEDS all things considered. I’m in good terms with my dealer and they offered a nice discount considering all the parts I had already ordered. Got them for 6200$ when they should have cost upwards of 9000$ here with all the taxes included.

Also for the front splitter I was thinking AC Schnitzer. What do you guys think? I like the way it complements the lines of the car and it’s not something I’ve seen on a lot of M4s.

Awesome!Love the mods!
I love the looks of the 666 wheels, but the 763 whould be awesome in silver too

Since you are doing a CS-like build, go all out and get a CS-style lip (or the OEM one if you can source one cheap).

The AC lip does look good in its own way.

Also, I like the black 763m wheels. Orbit Gray on a gray car would be too much gray, two dark grays competing against each other.

I agree. Plus I couldn’t justify dropping 2-3k more on wheels just for the color. Not sure I understand BMW’s logic on that one. I think I like the way the black rims look, might paint them silver somewhere along the line..

Also leaning towards getting the CS seat covers. Really liking the M stripes on headrest. Does anyone have them? And does the alcanthara get dirtier faster?

I also like this one because I barely see this one on any M3/M4 and it seems more practical due to the middle being higher

Looks dope man, but how come you didn't just get a CS? You'd save $$$$$

I strongly considered it and do regret a little sometimes, but a mix of impracticality (lack of armrest or most storage space for that matter), lack of availibility in my country, and disgustingly high price to import the car pushed me away from it. My dealer couldnt even give me a straight answer on whether the armrest etc. could be retrofitted.
Ultimately while I do wish I had some of the elements of the CS (exhaust note, engine tune with that sweet 600NM), I’m still happy with my M4. I love Mineral Grey and the process of modding it has been so much fun. I’ve loved every second.
