Don't tell me some MB guy saw your plate and took you seriously? Is everyone OK?

Everyone is ok. Some guy fell asleep in his GMC pickup and rear ended four cars behind me and this damage still managed to happen. Going to see what's next for me.
I'm interested in an M2 comp. pkg. but I can't let go of the screaming V8. I've seen a couple low mile e92 M3's in my area fully loaded 2013 but none with fox red interior.

New steering rack, new control arms and bushings, new sway bar end links, new front diff seal, changed diff, coolant, power steering, transmission, and engine oil, replaced three drain plugs, raised the suspension height, removed the front camera and installed a new grille, installed H&R front and rear sway bars, installed Rogue SSK with selector rod, installed UCP.... I'm sure I'm missing a couple things in here but I think I'm done with this car for awhile...

How hard are front and rear sways to install? Can i DIY them?

Front isn't bad. Rear is an insane job... requires dropping entire subframe.

Would it not make a difference to only install front sway lol, or would it mess anything up.

Most people only upgrade the front sway bar. It wont mess anything up. I am running an aftermarket front bar with a stock rear bar and I love it.

Oil change and a Track-day !

Does it mess up alignment

Sucks to hear about the car but glad you are okay. Pretty sure I have seen your car around the Nova area before.

I would do both, otherwise you will induce oversteer.

Finally.....

Installed KW HAS at the minimum setting. Can't believe how much it has dropped. I am nervous about it at the moment.

I've also installed GC Camber Plates.

Thanks to Longboarder for the prompt shipment.

Car is now at a local shop for alignment. Another thanks to Malek@MRF for help with alignment specs.

Track wheels are set to arrive tomorrow.

Ready for Friday. Track day here we come!

Pictures to follow!

Installed a set of AC Schnitzer pedals. no dead pedal as they are hard to find and I've heard they are very pricey but this will do for now.

Lol they do look a little out of place without that third pedal. wish I could install the third one but I like them all the same.

Big day - Installed zhp shifter knob on my e93 and mounted my license plates. Also replaced the turn signal lights on my wife's 328i, only hitting my head twice on the trunk. Also replaced chrome gills and grilles with matte black yesterday.

Going for a ride tonight...

Cheers

Did my first DIY oil change today, wasn't too bad. Found out quickly that my brand new drain pain has a pinhole leak in the corner... made for a messy event

jaehshim · 09-23-2016, 01:37 PM

sunglasses holder

bought the european OEM bmw part (~$50) from ecs tuning, installed recently. 2 bolts out, 2 bolts back in, done.
Especially with our E9x series with "lack of free spaces", this is a MUST mod and don't know why I didn't do this in the past 4 yrs of ownership.
don't have to reach glove box or center console for the silly sunglasses
