What have you done with or to your M3 today?

McSwine · 08-08-2017, 08:42 AM

Had the rear end and 6MT fluids changed, along with an engine oil service.

Stoked to see if I can bring it back to life as it's past owner (original) used it as a commuter and it shows. Interior is excellent, exterior has lots of sandblasting in the front and the odd parking lot scars here and there.
Been hard not to start ordering bits but I want to see how the analysis turns out. Anyone know what turn around time is for it?

Awesome purchase! I did my E46M not too long ago and it was about 1 1/2 week turn around time after sending it off so not bad at all. Depending on how busy they are, you could be sooner. And the results get emailed to you as well so it's very convenient if you used Blackstone.

For a second, I read "Had it rear ended and fluids everywhere, along with an engine oil engine service.

Dropped mine off to get front end wrapped with paint protection film.

dkracing · 08-08-2017, 08:46 PM

Drove it to work

Powashiftin · 08-08-2017, 08:51 PM

Relieved the M3 of daily duties. Bought a daily driver.

I did get some video. Been super busy with work and school, should have time tomorrow night to download to my computer and post it

Teufel_Hunden · 08-09-2017, 07:38 AM

Hit 35k miles on my way to work this morning.

ualdrivr · 08-09-2017, 02:48 PM

I took her and my wife out for a gorgeous day ride. The M3 sounded fantastic with the K&N filter. The ESC has adapted to it nicely and performance is awesome.

You have a great looking car. What the hell is an ESC?

I am clinging to my youth, so I will force myself to swim in the sea of alphabet soup.

DSC is the acronym I believe you had in mind: Dynamic Stability Control.

UPSROD · 08-09-2017, 07:58 PM

THINK boys....adding a K& N filter would NOT affect the cars stability or handling!

unknownNTT --

As promised, here's some video I got last weekend loving on my car..

Couple things, 1. This is only my second track event, and the first time I ever used a GoPro... 2. It's only the south course at VIR, but it was great practice for when I go back for the full course the first weekend of Oct.

Don't judge me! Lol..

Taking your manual M3 out to the track

Yeah, smooth is key, I know fast will come. Every time I went out I got a little faster. One of the friends I made at the track timed most of my laps for me and he noted a 15 second improvement from my first lap and the last one he was there for. By early afternoon on Sunday there was only one person in my run group I couldn't pass. So much fun, can't wait for Road Atlanta in a few weeks!!

Road Atlanta is my wife's favorite track you are going to love it once you accept that the road will be there when you make the crest over the last hill and wait before putting in the turn right inputs.

My wife also learns in a similar manner. Smooth and patient until she learns the track. Then by afternoon she and her E36 would go hunting.

Passing much "faster" cars left and right.

Just rolled over 144k and one of my TA's decided to go up, replacing it tonight. Hopefully all goes well.
