It is

But the best part is actually the 100km long stretch between Pemberton and Lillooet. Pemberton is just 30 minutes north of Whistler. The drive from Pemberton to Lillooet are full of switch backs and hill climbs through the mountains, and also some long downhill portion.

I drove the shit out of it this morning on the way to work...heel/toe downshifting, M-button engaged, the whole deal....and it was GLORIOUS! I've never driven a more rewarding/engaging car. As I sit here at work in my cubicle, I can still hear phantom revs and blats from the S65B40. I drive it about once a week now. My other car is...no joke...a Prius lol (wife drives an X5 so it's not all that bad haha).

Out of curiosity, what techniques do you use to correct scratches on the film?

Polish with fast cutting microfiber pad
(Griot's) on a 3" dual action pad
Meguiar's Ultimate Compound until scratch is gone.
Clarify with Boss perfecting cream on an orange 3" correcting foam pad
Meguiar's Ultimate liquid (polymer) wax on a fresh orange foam pad to protect

Hi, new to this forum, not sure where to post my question related to oil change I did today. I can't get the BC button to trigger reset option.

I have a 2008 e92 m3 manual transmission. After changing the oil, I followed the multiple videos I watched and got to the service menu on the cluster, I pressed the BC button to look at which item needs service. I scroll down on the stalk to get to red oil change symbol. But when I press on the BC button at the end, it won't trigger a reset. I tried pressed and released and also tried holding the BC button. I also tried pressing the cluster button, and a variation of holding and not holding brake vs clutch the same time. My brake fluid needs to be flushed also. I have not done it yet but when I tried to press the BC button for brake fluid (just to see if the reset option will come on) also no luck.

Not sure if manual and automatic transmission makes a difference because most video are with automatic transmission and most are not m3. There was a 2011 manual m3 reset video but not seeing anything different. Is there something I am missing.

If there is a step I am missing, suggestions will be appreciated.

Haven't posted in a while, but my car was in a hit & run once again, in this case the driver left as I asked for their insurance information.

Did you get the plate of that car? Assuming you did, you can call icbc and give them the info. They will/can summon that car in for an inspection to compare the paint and damages. Highly unlikely they’ll be able to confirm anything though since it is not required by law that owner have to bring his/her car in. Especially that person can simply wash/clean the bumper before going in.

Happened to me a long time ago. My neighbor clipped my car and denied doing it even though our cars traded paint on the bumper. Icbc inspected his car weeks later and said they can’t find anything conclusive. Not much you can do unfortunately, shit happens.

Yup, driver left the scene when I asked for information also. I took many pictures and videos also. I had a hit & run last year in December also. I'm just not gonna park on the street in North Van again lol

Dude I think in the US, that's a pretty serious crime; leaving the scene of an accident. Hope you get it sorted bro...freaking sucks.

M3MPH1S · 07-23-2018, 10:42 PM

picked up a new wireless charging phone mount with a folding arm, so I can keep it tucked down low for daily use and prop it up high for recording video with Harry's on track

gone through several different mounts: air vent, windshield, cd player. this seems to be the best of all worlds. extremely sturdy and versatile.

It's suctioned to the dash?
Where did you get it?

I love the CD mount for my phone with the magnet
but in the e90 the CD player is placed too low

LostPanda · 07-24-2018, 06:20 AM

A friend from California came in with his Goodyear crew, figured we drop by and see him.

Yes, there's a rubber circle piece that's "permanently" adhesived (3M tape) to the little shelf in front of the screen and the suction cup goes on top of that (for much better adhesion).

Got it on Amazon. It's made by iOttie.
