FWIW, the Thule Aeroblade rack sits much closer to the roof.

Ya - what's up with this? I see this a lot on other peoples E9X cars. It is something that really bothers me for some reason. Mine still looks new and I'm not particularly careful.

m3fanboi · 10-21-2015, 06:36 PM

Getting an "Increased battery discharge" for a couple of days.
Need to pull in to the dealership tomorrow to see if its a battery/alternator or other issue.
For a 2011 M3, seems like its pretty early for the battery to croak. What is the typical cost of the OEM spare?

mazing M3 · 10-21-2015, 07:39 PM

going to get the oil change and detail the car and put it to bed for the winter.

I bought a battery for my 06 330i (e90, previous car) and it was $230ish

I had a shop do the OEM exhaust mod on my 2011 E92 M3...sounds awesome now.

Bennettm3 · 10-23-2015, 12:00 PM

Anybody in the Atlanta area have a meisterschaft gt exhaust? Or gintani race? Thinking that might be what's next.

Raek · 10-23-2015, 08:19 PM

Put Forcewerkz side skirt extensions on. The fit was great!

Could be your EDC module going bad and drawing parasitically. I had the same warning for a while and tracked it to the module. Replaced it and all is well now.
