What have you done with or to your M3 today?

I think they look pretty decent. Should still have enough room for 275 rears and 255 fronts when the time comes.

A bit off topic, but I have to question the sanity of my dog...



How is that comfortable?

Makes getting to the garage a little difficult...

Now if the SNOWOULDJUSTEFFOFF!!

I think your dog doesn't like you going out to the garage alone.

The standard ZCP PS2s - 245/35/19 fronts and 265/35/19 rears.

If you flip the picture sideways your dog looks completely normal. Perhaps there’s a shift in gravity on that corner of your house? It’s been known to happen

I have OCD - so I washed my car even though it is still too snowy to drive it around...





Supposed to get cold here again... Oh well, at least it is clean.

LOL, my German shepherd used to do that every night. All the space in world but he must find that one small corner and wedge himself into.

I can appreciate that. Unless you keep it covered in the garage, they manage to just get dirty from the dust. Since I have Jet Black, it gets dusty a few minutes after I finish washing it

My 328 is black-ish-brown right now...

And where does all the dust come from FFS? Had the car cover off for a couple weeks to do some work and BOOM, dirty.

First world problems SUCK.

Do you have any vents going into your garage? Most houses have particle air filters if you have ventilation heat.

I have in-floor heat and no ventilation in the garage. It is very nice to lay down on a heated floor when working on the car

That said, it does not take long to get a layer of fine dust on the car. Getting antsy to get the M on the road though. Seriously thought about it today but I managed to keep it on the driveway.

Soon though, soon...

No vents in my garage except the garage door itself, which is going to be opened now and then. On a windy day, it's instantly going to get a nice layer of dust.

What you need is something like this:

Is your car lowered? If so what springs or coil

Not lowered. Just the standard ZCP (competition package) ride height (which is a little lower than non-ZCP cars).

Cheers,

Ordered new headlight bulbs as the 4300K OEM ones are kinda garbage

Philips D1S Xenon WhiteVision 5000K $195CAD with taxes and shipping from hidconcept

Are they better than LUX 180?

Think this is for the actual headlight, and and not the angle eyes which the LUX replaces.

I did not take detailed photos of the before. I have tons of pictures, though.

I'm relocating to DSM so you can see them in person if you're ever in the area!

Any idea how much lumens it outputs compared to the stock ones?

They say 120% more light output with these ones. You could get the OSRAM Cool Blue intense which gets up to 6000K color temp and is cheaper, I simply went with Philips due to the fact I replaced my brake light bulbs with the 1156 Red LEDs by them
