Thanks! the tires are actually 205/50/15s on the 15X8's. I probably will get 225/45/15s when I need new tires.
How's the M50 running at 185k? That's exactly what I'm putting into my car, mileage and all. Also, be happy you've got the quicker rack. With the stock 4.0 turn rack the car isn't exactly darty (until you get used to it).

OP, nice way to start off mang. Get some M3 cams, injectors, MAF and a tune, then it'll be even more fun! :D
What suspension is it running (springs and shocks).
The springs and shocks are ground control coilovers with 440lb front springs and 550lb rear springs.

Nice.
As for cams, what a lot of NV guys do is swap the stock intake (240deg, 9.7mm) to the exhaust (240deg, 9.2mm) and get a camshaft identical to the S5x's made for the intake (252deg IIRC, not sure on lift) since the stock intake cam pretty much matches the S5x's stock exhaust cam.
Problem is, you still don't get that nice dual stage cam timing so you'll still be short of a TU with M3 cams' output.
