My BMW E92 M3 Edition Model in Monte Carlo Blue

Looking good. for Monte Carlo blue!

How many monte Carlo blue e92 m3 in the U.S?

I'm such a fan of Monte Carlo blue. When I decided to wrap my space grey I was having the hardest time picking which blue I wanted. I ended up going with Atlantis blue. Now that I've been looking at AB every day it makes MCB look so much darker. Still one of my favs

Always interesting to play the numbers game. That would mean that there are 18 MCB in USA and 13 MCB in Canada based on BMW's total e92 production for North America. Of the total of 47 2010 Edition model e92's produced for Canada (0 for USA for whatever reason) I've never been able to find how many of the 47 were produced in MCB compared to black, white and yellow. Obviously, the number would be between 1 and 13. Assuming some of the pre-LCI MCB cars went to the USA, I'm guessing that there are maybe 4 or 5 MCB Edition e92's in Canada. No doubt, this falls under the category of "useless facts".

I customised Work Rezax 2

I only use Redline 10W60 Oil for the engine, im totally in love with this oil

Almost looks like estoril blue, my fave color - so nice!!

little Update:









I replaced the original yellow H8 Bulbs with a chinese H8 Led No error messages or radio issues. But a little flickering when i start the Engine, i think its the "kalt- und wärmeüberwachung" i will set to "nicht_aktiv" im sure it will be fine.







In July i will give the car to a professional cleaner. Complete Cleaning inside + outside + ceramik coating for car and wheels. Ceramik coating should stay 2 years or 20000kms or 12500 miles

I loooooooove mine.

Once at WGI I ran into two other MCB M3s! One was Canadian though

Soo nice to see these guys hanging on to their M3s years after years with unchanged passion!

I also bought the Carly App with OBD 2 Adapter (Bluetooth), lets see how it works and what happens on the end.

Have issues with the corna rings (LED) they´re flickering... voltage monitoring is off, now i try higher voltage.

Hi,

a little bit maintenance was done

- road bearings replaced after 84.000 Kilometers / 52.195 Miles (Picture below).
"run in" 800 Kilometers / 500 Miles and Engine Oil Change after 2000 Kilometers / 1250 Miles. Maybe 15W50 Gulf or Redline Oil.

At the moment no speeds above 3000 rpm and no full throttle on German highways

- DCT oil change with filters
- new engine Mounts
- new brake fluid
- a little bit this, a little bit that

Hi, im back with new stuff.

- KW V3

- Wheels w/ Offsets: Wheelforce CF3 UC - (F) 20x9.5 +16, (R) 20x11 +32

I'm still thinking about installing an ESS compressor like the 6xx Version.
But first i have to read some stuff about it and check how get it approved by the technical inspection association .
Maybe its a project for 2023/2024.

Hi,

ESS G1 is running and will get its final tune. I think in the next few weeks I can slowly get a feeling for how everything works 😄, how the temperatures behave and how the 15w50 300v will perform.

Car is ready absolutely fun with the Supercharger. 👍🏼🍻

all this money spent on the car and he's got Nankangs on it...

Yes, the tires were not my first choice, unfortunately there were no others available at the time due to delivery problems.

But I can say that they are not as bad as I thought.

Nevertheless, the next set of tires will be something from Continental, Michelin etc.


In the meantime there were small changes.

- OEM facelift rear lights

- OEM carbon front splitter

- Alcantara trim strips in the interior.

- OEM BMW Performance steering wheel.


I haven't had any problems with the supercharger kit so far and it performs as it should.
Thanks to the large cooler package (DO88) and small modifications such as increasing the oil level in the DCT.
There are no temperature problems in street use


In the future I will try a shorter V-belt that I use through the 94 pulley, in the lower gears it sometimes slips slightly.

I also keep an eye on the valve covers, they are currently still in good condition, but as soon as I see with the endoscope that the inner coating is peeling off I will get some from NRW or something similar.

Stay healthy and have fun on the road (like the Smilie)

Hi, nein war ich nicht.

Small Update – might be interesting for some ESS supercharger drivers.

Sometimes i had a squeaking noise during gear shifts and occasionally during acceleration not often, but it was there.
I had already replaced the belt tensioner, but the noise persisted.

You can hear the sound here starting at 1:39–1:40.


The only thing left to check was the serpentine belt.
The included Gates belt has a length of 2220mm. I switched to a 6PK 2115 Contitech belt, and the noise disappeared.





From what I can tell, the Gates belt only has one "grippy" side, while the other side is smooth. The Contitech belt, has both sides grippy and is 5mm shorter.
I think if you're running the 94mm pulley, you can go straight for the Contitech belt.
The Gates belt might work fine with the "stock" 98mm pulley.


Used the test drive for a quick photo shoot with an F10 M5 Competition.







Have Fun

Hard to beat the OEM splitters!

Your mods made the car looks stunning, twin color come to say hello from Asia


Customized mine on a regular basis, words can't describe how much I loved this special edition color!
