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!

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.

Sun strip.

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

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.

which one are you getting? there is a two-stripe light bar one and a three-stripe light bar one as well. the two-stripe is the closest to LCI lights, but the three-stripe is also offered in smoked red and that is just sexy

Looks great mate. Does it require a lot of drilling extra holes?

May want to double check if there are any known quality issues like led burning out etc? I remember the e46 aftermarket solutions (both tail and headlight) always ended up being a money pit of broken tabs, water leaks, light bulb out codes and other nonsense ultimately ending up going back to stock. Or maybe it was my bad luck.
