As with all products you read the directions of use and you should be safe.

I use the Red Diablo. Works great especially with the amount of brake dust this car puts out.

Bonus: it smells like pink bubblegum!

Yes I really like it. I even cleaned up the MPE tips with it, when I first bought the car. They looked neglected by the previous owner.

I adjusted my e-brake so that instead of it not working at all, it kind of works now.
It's far from confidence inspiring type of hold, but improvement nonetheless.

I find the adjustment method rather bizarre, removing 1 lug bolt to find the little adjuster wheel with a screwdriver. Seems almost non-German like

Installed a high kick carbon fiber spoiler yesterday. Got it off eBay and the fit is spot on. No complaints.

Had the OEM exhaust mod done and black chrome exhaust tips done all for $300 which was very fair and the shop did a great job.

LostPanda · 09-21-2017, 07:18 PM

Finally got my car back from Stage 1 Paint Correction, 3 Layer Ceramic Pro and detailing, and Catless Macht Schnell + Eisenmann Race Exhaust System.

F80.Ferg · 09-21-2017, 08:46 PM

Got the GTS DCT tune, AA test pipes, Alpine tune.

A few days later got the rod bearings done, and some LUX angel eyes.

Oh and washed her and got her detailed.

turbo_joe · 09-22-2017, 06:48 AM

New driver seat installed last night. Sparco Evoii US

With just the OEM seat belt

With the Schorth Quickfit Pro

dkracing · 09-23-2017, 11:23 PM

Drove the BaeMW ///M3 to Supercars on State Street in Harrisburg, PA.

kyippee · 09-23-2017, 11:27 PM

Explored a road with friends. Road was a bust but took a nice photo. Also replaced CF hood vents with IND gloss black (OEM core is better fitting)

vincE92M3 · 09-24-2017, 07:25 AM

De-badged and replaced side fender emblems with a fresh pair.

Yea definitely. Car just feels a lot smoother.

spazzyfry123 · 09-25-2017, 04:20 PM

Took it to the racetrack (Atlanta Motorsports Park) this past Sunday. She's a hoot!

Garage duty today

simple2010 · 09-25-2017, 04:34 PM

Battery: I nearly had to give up on the lower clamp/mount. That one bolt was a b*tch to line up. Luckily, my brother-in-law had stopped by and he has smaller hands. I like to talk about his smaller hands to anyone that will listen.

Black kidney grills: Pretty easy except one of the clips just didn't want to cooperate. I broke it so I guess if I ever want to go back to chrome, I'll just have to buy new ones. Luckily, the black grills look great and I didn't immediately want to go back to stock.

Darkne55 · 09-25-2017, 05:57 PM

Did this over the weekend.

Washed
Clay bar
Paint correction using Meguiars DA microfibre two step process.
Then finished off with Pinnacle Souveran paste wax..
First time trying Souveran and it is very easy to work with..
Very happy with the result. Will apply another coat of Souveran next weekend.
Phew..

Please excuse the iPhone photos..

I can relate. I had to get my 14 yr/old son to do that one.

rks68rt · 09-26-2017, 04:32 AM

Took part in a spirited early Sat morning drive of local M cars through the twisty roads of Clark Co., in SW Wash. Great line up of cars: 2 F10s, 2 E92s, 1 F80, and an E60. Gotta do it again soon!
