What have you done with or to your M3 today?

wfdeacon88 · 10-15-2020, 06:18 PM

Got an oil change at 5K interval. She's still going strong at 125K... also, spotted a G80 M3 behind me on the way home..

Some angles look really good, but others are just not flattering. I think the M3 wears it a little better.

I agree, I cant get behind the M4, but the M3 doesnt look too bad, I actually have warmed up to it quite a bit.

thanks for the info; did you change the rod bearings or still original?

The only concern I have with changing them is I don't know what/how they will do it, and I have seen now 2 engines breaking down after they have been opened by aftermarket shops... food for thought.

If I still have the car at 60k miles, I will probably take the plunge and do it myself during summer time... most likely.

SRB_Mpower · 10-16-2020, 02:32 PM

Got my wheel repaired. Nothing like flying over an open sewer/manhole....
Now just need to find a place to do the alignment and ready for the Tail!

Added a Harrop kit and Stoptech 60/40 kit. Absolutely love this car!

Thanks! First impression was why didn’t this car come this way from BMW. Drives exactly how it did stock except the noise of the blower. Once you get on it the car comes alive all through the RPM range. It’s not mind blowing fast, just a ton of grunt from a slightly gruntless S65. It’s well worth the money.

Changed to BE at 90K miles..flawless since and it's a rock. Pulls as hard as ever and I never have to worry now as I have done every preventative item I can think of and do my LM 10-60 every 5K.

Mine is an 09, so I could tell the bearings would have probably gone sometime around 125 or so, just guessing.. no copper when I pulled them, but they were wearing

Awesome! I’ve read that Harrop gives that extra push in low rpms. Also I love that supercharger whine, hoping to get one in near future. Enjoy!

Actuators said bye bye today

A very weak start, with the angry triangle. Pretty sure the 4 yr old battery is on its last legs.

The car would tell you if the battery was going, and it looks like you’re in limp mode which wouldn’t be from a dying battery

The battery warning came on shortly after, followed by an increased power draw warning as well. The first warning was from the very questionable start with a very low idle and evened out once the alternator started running.

Great color. This is a wrap, yeah?

Perfect summer night last night and had to take it for a spin down some backroads. Took some pictures right as the sun was setting. Wish I had a DSLR for this.

Installed test pipes (again) and changed the oil.
