What have you done with or to your M3 today?

Got rear ended on the way to work this morning...

Fuuuuck. Sorry to hear/see that.

I hope that most importantly you're ok, and then hopefully the repairs won't be too extensive. Looks minor from that photo though...

Thanks. I am fine. It was a very low speed impact. GMC Yukon. Unfortunately, it looks like it is a lot more extensive than just the bumper cover. The trunk is very misaligned, and the hinges do not look bent. Not sure what the cause is until the tear down. My appointment isn't until 3/29, so I will have to wait and see.

Custom fabricated mount for my new DSP

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.

Which one did you use?

I had my detailer do a 3 stage polish then wax then Opticoat.
The car looked like a mirror afterwards, made that jerez really pop in low light.

LOL. i hate that you're so right...

Recently had my windows tinted. It made a huge difference and it definitely made the car look more aggressive. I opted for Suntek Carbon 18% for anyone wondering. I think that darkness is a good balance between having a dark tint without sacrificing much visibility.

^ idk about more aggressive but def a cop bait!

Had an issue with one of my Lux Angeleyes (H8-160), so had an OEM bulb in the passenger side. Replacement/upgraded (H8-180) came in and replaced both bulbs. Glad car no longer looks crazy with one white/one yellow bulb.

Didn't see much difference in the brightness between the 160 and 180, but the 180 is a better design from an install standpoint. There is sleeve covering the LEDs so no chance to break them when installing. Broke one of my original 160s last year trying to contort it around in the opening.
