What have you done with or to your M3 today?

Grip Addict · 10-10-2019, 07:25 PM

I drove it to the office, then back home. I tried to initiate launch control on one of the dead backroads, I just couldn't get it to go into launch control.

Note - I have done it plenty of times before and I know what you have to do to do it, just wouldn't lock in and hold.

Probably wasn’t on flat enough ground

Probably right, it was flat enough that I didnt move forward or backward in neutral though.

I have had it lock me in launch control when on an incline that in neutral I roll back basically making launch control even a bigger burnout mode than normal.

hah, I'm having the same thoughts although compared to your car I have almost no mods. Considered selling for how little it gets driven, but can't get myself to do it yet.

Crashed NSXPO 2019 at Summit Point Raceway for the last couple days. Was a lot of fun being on track with so many NSX's

Very very easy. Autocouture installed along with the IND “Limited Edition” Push start button and eisenmann race. Took fairly quick

I wear cycling gloves to keep the steering wheel mint

sonax alcantara cleaner a brush every month and you keep that wheel looking new

Got this on my front porch today! I can't wait till I get some time to install it.

Woow! May I ask just how much that kit is?

AC/DC · 10-12-2019, 07:56 AM

2272 Euro on the group buy. Still waiting to get hit with a bill for the tariffs.

wfdeacon88 · 10-12-2019, 02:34 PM

Finally took off and replaced the failed trim wrap. used a spare and sanded and painted it. Added the red M button that's been sitting in my garage for a year.

Early mornin wash

Grip Addict · 10-12-2019, 09:31 PM

I drove to cars and coffee, then made a pit stop on the way home to buy some candles for the home office. (I have this new love of candles, don't ask)

Pitstop photo:

Then went home.

BTW - launch control worked today, same exact spot too.
