AN UNFORTUNATE UPDATE ON MY M3 BUILD

EV Channels Review

This episode of the M3 build details several aesthetic and audio upgrades, though a significant portion of the installation footage was unfortunately lost due to data corruption. The presenter highlights the installation of an Eventuri carbon plenum, noting its primary benefit is an enhanced intake sound rather than power gains, with plans for a full intake system and sound demonstration in a future episode. Aesthetic modifications include a carbon front splitter, which the presenter acknowledges has a slight fitment gap, and painted hood vents and side markers in Indianapolis Red Metallic, a choice made for a unique, subtle accent over carbon fiber. The most significant upgrade discussed is the Alpha-1 speaker kit from Bimmertech. The presenter expresses high satisfaction with the sound quality, stating it significantly improves the car's audio system to rival premium offerings in luxury vehicles, deeming the $1,200 kit a worthwhile investment for long-term owners. Future plans include completing the intake system, adding more exterior pieces, and a detailed maintenance and financial breakdown of owning the M3.
