Congratulations on Your New G80 M3!
Welcome to the world of the G80 M3—widely considered one of the best M cars ever made for its unbeatable combination of performance and capability. While the G80 is impressive right off the lot, we all know there’s always room to improve. Whether you're looking to upgrade braking, handling, or sound, ORT Motorsport has the right products to help you unlock even more performance and fun from your M3. Here’s a closer look at some of the best upgrades for your G80 M3.
Brakes: Carbotech 1521 Pads
The factory brakes are fine for daily driving, but if you're seeking better performance on the track or spirited drives, the Carbotech 1521 Brake Pads are a fantastic upgrade. These pads offer seamless modulation, superior initial bite, and steady torque—without triggering ABS. They also reduce brake dust by about 70% compared to stock pads and minimize noise, making them perfect for both performance and everyday use. Improve braking response and experience consistent, confident performance no matter the conditions.
Oil Cooler Skid Plate: Mishimoto Skid Plate
The G80 M3’s oil cooler is exposed to road debris and hazards, which can potentially damage critical engine components. The Mishimoto Skid Plate offers unbeatable protection while maintaining optimal airflow for cooling. Made from high-strength aluminum and powder-coated for corrosion resistance, this skid plate is easy to install—no drilling required. Whether you're on the street or the track, it ensures your oil cooler stays safe, giving you peace of mind on every drive.
Suspension: KW H.A.S. Height Adjustable Spring Kit & HKS HKSTUDIE Coilover Kit
KW H.A.S. Height Adjustable Spring Kit
If you prefer a blend of comfort and performance, the KW H.A.S. Kit lets you lower your car while maintaining factory adaptive suspension. It improves handling, sharpens steering response, and gives your M3 a sportier stance—all without sacrificing comfort. Ideal for daily driving with a performance edge.
HKS HKSTUDIE Coilover Kit
For the enthusiast who wants manual control and precision, the HKS HKSTUDIE Coilover Kit is ideal. Fully adjustable for height and damping, this kit allows you to fine-tune your ride for optimal performance. It’s perfect for those who want to set it once and forget it, with excellent handling and a more aggressive stance.
Exhaust: Enhance Sound and Performance
While the stock exhaust on the G80 M3 sounds sporty, many drivers feel it could be louder and more aggressive. Here are a few great options to boost your M3’s sound and performance:
-
Dinan Midpipe: Perfect for owners who want a more aggressive exhaust note without replacing the entire system. It enhances volume and depth while retaining the stock rear section.
-
HKS HKSTUDIE Exhaust: This system offers a balanced mix of performance and sound, delivering a deeper tone and improved exhaust flow for a more thrilling experience.
-
Kline Innovation Valvetronic Catback Exhaust: For the ultimate upgrade, this premium exhaust offers improved turbo response, enhanced sound, and the ability to control the exhaust tone with its valvetronic system. It’s a complete solution for those who want the best of both performance and style.

Intakes: Unleash the Turbo Sound
The stock intakes on the G80 M3 are effective, but they can feel a bit muffled when you’re craving more turbo noise. If you want to hear that engaging intake growl and turbo spool, upgrading your intake is a great option.
For a budget-friendly solution, the Mishimoto Intake Kits offer an open-air style that maximizes turbo sound without breaking the bank. For a more premium, OE-like finish, the Dinan Carbon Fiber Intake Kits provide improved airflow and a refined, aggressive sound, available in both matte and gloss finishes to match your M3’s style.
