What have you done with or to your M3 today?

My thoughts exactly. Good stuff

Hi SimpleM3, my car is a 2008. The top half bearings looked bad especially with the copper coming through on almost all of them.
I wonder how much longer they had before failure.

Dinan software flash last week. Dinan springs this week. F10 M5 shift knob last night

4 new Michelin PS A/S3+ and a laser alignment.

255/275?

No, that would have been ideal and I had been researching it, but then I had a run-in with a large bolt, and had to replace one (read: both) rear tire at Discount a couple weeks ago in an emergency because they couldn't patch the hole in the tire. They only stocked the 265's, and mine is a daily driver, so I really had no options.

Yesterday, I went to my preferred mechanic who installed new fronts (245) ordered from Tire Rack to match the rears, and did the alignment, likely the first alignment since the car was purchased.

So, in actuality, yesterday I only got 2 new tires, but the long version of the story was TMI for the original post...

I drove it to work.

Installed Ultimate Pedals. They look and feel great!

Just ordered ps4s for my car. Dinan sway bar, purple flex dif bushings, solid subframe mounts delivered today. Also getting the wheels refinished. Big week for the m3 coming up

they came out great, but I assume it now smells like you're confined to a laundromat?

Just got the D software myself. Love it. The power button is now worth using (when spouse is in the car).

I'll be interested in your impressions of the D springs. Giving them serious thought for my non-EDC car. Loved the Dinan stage 1 in my e46 M3. Subtle drop.

No downside. I got the Shiny anti slip with domed inserts and I learned a few things; if you decide to remove the dead pedal rather than install on top of it search on how to do that first. Also, don't screw the accelerator down using the bottom row holes as that will inhibit travel. Use the next row up.

Also I don't think you need four fasteners per pedal, two should suffice and the instructions tell you that.

Very good quality, pleased with the product. Plan for three weeks before you receive from the time you order as I believe they manufacture as they receive orders.

Swapped from the perforated to Bypass mod yesterday. So much more aggressive

Ceramic coated my paint this weekend. 7 hours of prep time removing swirls and scratches. Applied the Paint protection and allowed it to cure overnight. The finish is perfect and will protect my paint. Its easy to apply and extremely hydrophobic.

Fabspeed Maxflo exhaust. The tips came with the exhaust.

Goddamn you have a lot of time on your hands, lol. Either that or you work in a shop.
