What have you done with or to your M3 today?

Not too far from you - we got some wicked storms last night! My 2 dogs were not happy.

I was actually trying to be facetious...saying the throttle of the M was putting out the sound of thunder equivalent to an actual weather event.

Got a Passenger Restraint Malfunction last week. Dealer diagnosed passenger seat belt tensioner. I R&R with new OEM. Naturally the code does not clear. My cheap OBD II won't help. Are there scanner/readers out there that will help with all codes on these BMWs?

LOL. Clearly I was multitasking and read too fast

I picked up my baby yesterday from getting the AM front lip installed. Fitment is not perfect, but for $250 I'm satisfied for now. Also, got the car detailed today so I could go take pics with the lip installed.

2 things happened to me after getting this lip.

1. I discovered that deep down inside I had a hidden CF addiction. Now I want side skirts, diffuser, spoiler, and maybe exhaust tips. It just looks so damn good.

2. If I thought I disliked steep driveways and speed bumps before, I can say that it has now grown into a full blown hatred lmao.

Here are some pics. I don't know if I could possibly love this car any more than I do.

Kinda surprised that refrigerant can evaporate from a closed system after 6 years when other cars I've owned for far longer never seemed to lose any, but the BMW shop said they've seen this fairly frequently.

How much did this cost? I think I need to do the same.

Bought front and rear dashcam...110% an impulse purchase, don’t even know if I really have a need for it

And side markers.

Drove 5 hours from DC to Atlantic Beach in North Carolina. This car is the bomb.

I had mine sitting for a year in the box before I installed them

How many times did you have to refuel?

Yes, of course. I think that rounds out the list nicely

About $160 after tax. Most of that was labor (~1 hr). Probably could have gotten it done a good bit cheaper at a non-BMW specialist shop or local Firestone, but I don't really trust those guys to work on my nice cars.

I got the thinkware f800. I like their parking feature over the blackvue. But I only drove the M3 on weekends so the parking mode won’t really do anything for me lol

dpsb · 06-29-2018, 10:14 AM

Crossed the 40k mileage mark, reluctantly!

Having a little trouble with my original plan to rest the M3 and drive my Tacoma to work a couple days a week. Way too much fun!

Wish ICBC would start giving a discount for having a front and rear dash cam. Insurance fucked me up. $462/month

Flashed the new updated TCU GTS settings but going to revert back to the old one. Felt better.

M3's need no rest. LOL

You only live once. You're not promised tomorrow.

And, it's only a car, a machine....no need to preserve it. There's always more machines.

Stopped twice but I'd say a bit over one tank. Chill at the pump.

jaehshim · 06-29-2018, 07:39 PM

totally unnecessary and totally cool

Bomiz · 06-29-2018, 07:45 PM
