No relevant updates. Vehicle went into Edmonton BMW and there is an open work order but no relevant information available.I will update as soon as I have anything useful.
Also, it was great finally meeting Glenn and Harbuksh today! I've been part of a lot of automotive forums but it's been awhile since I actually put some faces to names. I'm just happy to get out... also I don't think I spend enough time in the south anymore... 1 Maserati, 3 M3s spotted, 2 Ferrari's and 2 Lamborghini's. Not a bad location for some parking lot pimping.

Ya some baller cars for sure around here I would have loved to come out but I never got Glenn's message until I was already at work and since I worked a late shift today no way I could make it. I also have to work on June 14th so I can't do the show and shine. Sorry guys.

No worries, Albert. We'll hold a kangaroo court and figure out an appropriate penance...hmmm, winter car washing duties.
It definitely was good meeting Jack and Glenn. It really makes me look forward to when we can get together for a full on Edmonton M3 meet. |

Yeah, the ballers hang out at the Save on in Ellerslie.
Dam, never seen so many exotics considering. Bad spoiler on the F430. Great to meet you guys, gotta get more of us all together. We'll have a meet later in the month I am sure. I can't wait to see Harbuksh car and wheels. Gotta see Alberts too. Man those 20's |

Spotted: Meteor Gray E92 on Anthony Henday heading southbound around 5PM
and a Black E90 in front of Earl's on Jasper around 11:30pm. I talked to Edmonton BMW today and apparently they are replacing the starter. My M3 should be ready to pick up tomorrow morning. I'll post further details once I see the work order and talk to a tech. So I get home today and what is sitting in my living room but 2 packages. One from JleviSW and one from RENN Spec. Apparently some minor parts I ordered have come in... however both orders are incomplete! So I have some RPI Scoops, Macht Schnell Spacers and a license plate frame (yeah yeah...) but no BMC Air filter or Eibach Springs. The items I wanted most and the main reason for ordering in the first place. Great... there better be some wonderful explanation.

So I picked up the car yesterday and it's a phenomenal feeling to be back in the M3. Not going to lie... I actually really got used to the 335i over the last 4 days. Pretty easy to drive... but nothing special. No offense to 335 owners... just my preference.
Anyhow! Apparently they had to replace the starter. I wish I had time to talk to an actual tech but going through the report, they tested all the electrical systems and everything was fine. Then all of a sudden it said they replaced the starter. I guess if that's what they fixed, that should have been the problem but I'm hoping to get a more definite answer of what might have gone wrong. Is everyone just going to Karmac or the dealers to have their aftermarket parts installed?

Be prepared for some non OEM stuff not to fit perfect. My AA stuff is good but was still a PIA and I still need to tweak my Eisenmann. They did a great job on my brakes and my Shifter. That is all good. I may need to step back on the exhaust. The AA xpipe and HFCs are much louder than I expected and there is alot more resonance in the car driving it hard. Getting some weird vibrations too at different RPM's. That said the car has a whole new life, holy sh*t faster and meaner. Much more pull in all the gears and it really gets up and goes now, wow. Need to take you guys for a ride. See what you think. |

Did you try the AA Xpipe and HFC with the stock exhaust? I couldn't really hear too much of a difference as you cruised by me in the parking lot. I definitely want to see how much of an improvement the AA tune is.

You need to come for a ride now, wow. Maybe a bit too much wow. Need a mini meet and we can do some ride-alongs. We can meet southside or somewhere where we can "stretch our legs" |
