What have you done with or to your M3 today?

Bartledoo · 07-01-2020, 01:34 AM

Installed front tension arms with G.A.S. monoballs, rotated front pads, and dropped off wheels and pirelli DH scrubs to be mounted

pbonsalb · 07-01-2020, 07:10 AM

I am thinking about the GAS ball joint conversion for the front tension struts.

I'm lazy so I spent extra for the pre-installed set. Rationalized it with my curb and rumble strip usage haha. My expectations aren't super high, but we'll see if they give me a wow at the track Friday...

Jonzny · 07-01-2020, 09:40 PM

Installed carplay on my CIC, great addition plus I get to keep the stock unit

You will notice the difference the first time you enter a braking zone. big big difference, I got lazy and opted for them in a new set of arms as well

The positives are well documented. It’s the mixed reviews on downsides that have me on the fence. Some say DD friendly and no downside, some say the harshness is noticeably felt over expansion joints, rumble strips, etc. Please report back!

miked7285 · 07-02-2020, 12:12 AM

Wash, wax, and interior detail.

I havent noticed any of that, just a sharper steering response and a "calmer/more focused" front end. However that is all subjective and I suspect dampener/spring rates will affect this as well.

used some new wash stuff from obsessed garage.

SAMM3Y · 07-02-2020, 09:22 PM

Test fitted these new2me rims... I said before I wouldn't buy used rims, not because they used but because typically the price point doesn't make sense on anything desirable... I really like these and planned on having them repainted but after receiving the luster is stunning and I think I'm finally done trading in wheels... thanks to @hnim for the hook they old but gold.. happy 4th boys!!

Bartledoo · 07-03-2020, 01:15 AM

Reflashed with revised 8600rpm tune

thanks Benvo!

I did these a few weeks ago, pre installed as well. The changed connection the car has to the road is subtle but absolutely noticeable, even on the street. You don't think the stock bushings lend that much of a numb feeling to the handling and then you bolt these up. I would 100% do these again if had to re-do a build.

You feel it through the steering wheel (in a good way) even while you're driving on straight city streets/highways. It gives the car a tighter more analog feel at all times, and for that reason I'm in.

Track day next weekend, expect these to continue to impress.
