M3 to f150, that’s quite the 180°. Why the change? New job or toys to haul

Been checking out a lot of f150 forums, so far I just want some LED headlights either anzo or oem from the lariat. I hate the rims too, much prefer the 6 spoke design that came with other xlt and lariats i've seen. I had my fun with the m3, had it for two years, put almost 40k on it and over the years things started to add up with maintenance and repairs which is counter productive for me saving for a place, so I've been bugging tofu and other dealers every now and then to try different cars to replace the m3 with, I've tried out Q50 Hybrid, Q50 Red Sport, TLX, TL, M2(amazing but defeats purpose of growing up), M4, 2014 Tundra platinum. Been hard to find something to compete with the m3, so I decided to go for something completely different that I felt suited me well. Plus with the deals tofu gives, its hard to say no.

there's a bunch of dope LED lighting setups for your truck. you're lucky. i love the way they look with the led strip running around the outside edge of the headlight/tail light.
i've been looking into setups for my 2011 fx4 and they're not anywhere near as nice..

That set up was excellent plus it looked great with the white strip on the edge. They would light up the night even in the rain due to the projectors in the anzos. I got both on Amazon.com on sale for a good price. I now have a 2017 f150 special edition and it came with the oem led headlights so I sold the anzos and I don't mind the wheels.
There are many mods you can do to the f150 even rewrite code to unlock or disable certain functions. I just swapped in the raptor steering wheel with working paddle shifters.

Why pay for a car and then take away the features you just paid for | That's why I would favor just leaving it alone. Not sure how a lowering spring would affect those adjustable factory settings. I remember when I had my GD STI it had Tein springs on stock shocks and it drove like garbage. As soon as the stock springs were put back in it completely changed the ride for the better.

Picked my odd little hatchback up from CG Motorsports today with a new heart!!!  
Upgrades from CG:
- M52 i6 2.8L engine replacing the 4cyl 1.8L m44
- Lightweight flywheel and M3 Clutch
- Refreshed some engine/suspension/transmission bushings
- Upgraded cooling system
- Upgraded front and rear swaybars
- Intake and Custom exhaust (loud af)
- Shark Performance software
- Other odds and ends
Definitely not finished yet, but after day 1 I'm loving it! Car feels awesome.
