What have you done with or to your M3 today?

donnyblaze1 · 11-16-2018, 04:40 PM

Fresh oil, transmission fluid, and spark plugs today... amazing how little things can really wake these cars up!

turbo_joe · 11-16-2018, 04:43 PM

Started mounting up the new brakes, did one corner so far and test fit both sets of wheels.

Spottech ST60 front and Stoptech ST40 rear

Volk TE37 18x9.5+22 clear with about 1/2" room to spare

APEX SM-10 18x10+25 clear with just about the amount of room

Thought I'll be able to share my successful wheel bearing and tension arm replacement but nope.

The rotor screws are 100% seized and rounded, and I don't even want to mention the ball joint of the tension arm. I feel like even if the car exploded this joint would remain welded into the spindle.

Fuck my life

Your brakes look nice! I had an issue with my AP Racing BBK last week on the front rotors, but I drilled them out to house the stock screws. Hopefully you lost a bit of unsprung weight and are enjoying them. Thanks for the post!

MJBO · 11-17-2018, 04:36 PM

Spent a few days with a distant cousin...

EJT86 · 11-17-2018, 04:39 PM

Snow tires and rims went on

Dr. Dre · 11-17-2018, 05:38 PM

VT MotorWorks installed my JRZ RS One coilovers. They were put to the recommended street setting. The ride is way better than I thought would be

TTony · 11-17-2018, 09:55 PM

Replaced the old Rotora's with new Rotora's.

Thanks man, install was straight forward. The rotors have the three holes for the alignment pins and the two for the rotor screws. Overall it’s definitely shedding some weight.

What have I done today? I drove!!

Long live the last real M3!
NA engine - check!
Hydraulic steering - check!
Proper hood line - check!
Round halos - check!
Real exhaust note - check!

Timujin · 11-18-2018, 03:46 PM

Removed (what looked to me like a crooked) M3 boot badge. Went over it with some goof off, polishing compound and nano wax.

ItsGary · 11-18-2018, 10:02 PM

Got my first ever ticket today. Excessive noise, the car in front of me was full straight pipe and the cop thought it was me. Easy dispute. Fuck Vancouver Police. They've been pulling cars over left and right for bullshit reasons. My car was so quiet while cruising too.

M3 Number 86 · 11-19-2018, 12:12 PM

Sun strip.

EJT86 · 11-19-2018, 02:43 PM

Picked up a new rear tire for a fairly decent price 😉

I have my sources lol, I’d gladly share the wealth but unfortunately this was the last one which is why I couldn’t get a pair

EJT86 · 11-19-2018, 06:36 PM

Can anyone guess which vent tab I just replaced?

Biggest doh! moment was when I was when I was driving my newly purchased M3 home and realized all four of the vent tabs were broken.

turbo_joe · 11-20-2018, 07:14 AM

Installed my ST40 rear brakes to go with the new ST60 front brakes

Stock brakes looked pretty rough. Car sat for a few weeks after my last track day

Aries326 · 11-21-2018, 12:46 PM

Installed my rear diffuser. I purchased it from JL Motoring. Much better quality than the one I purchased previously.

Looks great! For being replica parts the JL motoring stuff fits and looks great. I will always recommend them.

I haven't done anything to my M3

its just been sitting in the garage because the weather has been so shitty and the roads are covered in salt.
