What have you done with or to your M3 today?

EJT86 · 04-05-2019, 06:54 PM

GTS tune and coding from Alpine

ItsGary · 04-05-2019, 07:49 PM

Got gas and then parked it in the garage. Recently started having issues with my RPMs jumping up and down after I got gas. Doesn't happen every time so I assume fuel breather valve needs to be replaced.

Also need to do brake fluid flush, but just didn't have time. Car is heading to the dealership for a recall tomorrow. Still my favorite M of all time, it's a wonderful car:

Gorgeous wheels. Reminds me of the 560c series that I want on my car.

Just installed my brand new mismatched sportsters... I purchased the red one about a year ago from vivid racing on clearance for a great deal and then tried to order a matching passenger side from a number of different vendors and in the end Recaro wouldn't build me one to match cuz the sportster was being discontinued in favor of the new GT. I ordered the exact same spec in black from a company in Germany who had one in stock and were awesome to work with. My plan is to put red harnesses on the black one and black harnesses for the red one, try and tie them together a bit as well as some other red accenting to come. At least It matches the motor for now.. we'll call the red one the hot seat!!

GORDON.M3 · 04-06-2019, 12:25 AM

Went for a late night run downtown yesterday night...

strokemycocktus · 04-06-2019, 03:33 AM

Got some PS4S tyres to put on my CH-Rs. They look great and I hope they drive even better

Went with 275 rear as 265 look way too stretched on a 10.5" wheel and 245 front because I didn't want to risk rubbing my fender liners with a 255 - previous owner had 255 Potenzas and the liners are damaged, gonna finally replace them next week too.

What about reupholstering? The “hot seat” idea isn’t bad either

drivetolive · 04-06-2019, 09:57 AM

Finally the weather was nice enough and I had the time to pull it out of storage. Although the winter felt extremely long, we've been fortunate to have it pass relatively early this season. Woke up at 7am just to ensure I could hit the open roads, traffic free. It was nice seeing other cars also being pulled out of storage!

It started off as an 2008 E90 I picked up two years ago. Last year I decided to upgrade to ZCP wheels and the CIC iDrive. This past winter I finally decided to switch over to the LCI trunk and could not be happier - it was definitely money well spent! In terms of next steps, it became clear to me I need a tad bit louder of an exhaust (currently on the OEM 2-pipe mod), and some Eibach springs with spacers

Installed a new air filter and finally finished the loose ends on my blackvue dashcam install from a year ago. Was driving around for a year with the parking cam not working and a wire sticking out and annoying me.

EJT86 · 04-06-2019, 07:53 PM

Summer wheels and new summer tires super sports up front and 4S in back (tires cost me $460 total &#128513

Naturally new tires need to be cleaned once installed so it was my duty to hit the streets and clean them

GerrS65 · 04-06-2019, 08:28 PM

Throttle actuators, thermostat, plugs, and coils done today. Took about 6 hours.

Bemo · 04-06-2019, 09:56 PM

Got chased right back up my street by a pair of crazy turkeys who were gobbling very aggressively and running towards me.

Did the fire orange color set them off?

So far this is the weirdest sh!t I've had to endure with this car.

In Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is downtown, the place is called Dundas Square. There aren't many places you can stop, but I pulled over for a photo!

Car was still dirty unfortunately.
