buddalun wrote105k. no difference..it drives exactly the same.At what mileage did you swap the bearings? Any noticeable differences thereafter? TIA
Level3 wroteHow's the fit? Do you have a link?
abren wroteYeah, it's like one of the cheapest carbon ones on ebay... I'd say the fit is 95%. You need to make sure your sticky tape is well applied. It will want to detach if it's not done right. Here is the link.How's the fit? Do you have a link?

Installed new wheel bolts because the old ones were so nasty and rusty!
Bought the car 6 weeks ago and have since put on new OEM Rotors, Hawk HPS pads, flushed brake fluid and put on new Bridgestone Potenza S04's.
I love this car!

drove it to work this morning and got stopped at a red light next to a cts-v. my oil temp wasn't up to snuff yet though
. he did look like an asshole flooring it the entire way to the next light a mile down the road though 
would have almost undoubtedly been smoked (sounded like it had a blower) but I would've liked to get an idea on just how fast my car actually is with something to compare it to just out of curiosity. haven't taken it to the track yet since picking it up last May and I don't actively look to street race or any of that nonsense but oh well.
anyways....recently picked up a ctek 4.3 battery charger (probably should have before winter) and ordered a Vorsteiner Type II rear diffuser. also waiting on a replacement fuel breather valve to come in with my oil change kit and set up an appointment to have my RBs swapped out for some BE replacement bearings (preventative). decided to have this overhaul done before track season and the car's first track day. now I just have to wait..

What's the length on those?
Too long. 75mm. But, hey, they work!

Painted reflectors, fangs and alignment
///MPower15 wroteNot sure why you have two E92 M's and I don't care. I envy you sir!Not exactly today but the past week or sopooyab and I had some big changes. New wheels and Ohlins R/T on both cars
Level3 wroteTry 15mm on the front. Only 3mm more but it looks great!
Not on the car yet but got some new Shoes!
I am just in the process of using nano coat (Gtechniq) on my wheels. I am hoping it makes a huge improvement on the brake dust clean up. It was really easy to apply. It made me think more about refinishing my wheels. That's the life of a daily driver (summer only!)
I also changed up my tire setup. I was originally on 275/2795 on my ZCP, but have decided to go to a 255/275 setup. I don't need that much tire anymore as my car is no longer SC'd and I have track rubber. Spacers are on (15/12 mm) so now I just have to dial in my ride height. I will let the snow continue to thaw and the roads dry up before we finally get it out.

I ordered an oil change kit from ECS for both the M3 and the 135i.
Oh and... a Blackstone test kit for the M

My first year with my M3; put it away for the winter up here north of Toronto, ON. Wondering when is everyone going to 'unleash the beast'???
Received the splitters and coated them with a layer of powerlock and two coats of 845. Car will also be done using same products once I get the paint dialed in accordingly.
I hooked it up to a CTEK charger.
Just a couple simple clean mods spoiler and glossy black kidney grills. Something so simple really changes the look of these cars.
