What have you done with or to your M3 today?

And the highways to Mexico are rather busy these days, lol!

Thanks, had to get creative so it would work the same top up or down. It is a GP Hero9. It is attached to the windscreen that is folded down. We used a Gopro clamp, helmet unicorn arm and (the creative part), a curtain tension rod to stabilize it.

I just picked up a mic adapter so I can use an external mic on the rear bumper. That will require another trip to Mexico!

Had my FRM reflashed after it bricked while coding. Got a decent deal from a local guy. Only 50 bucks and an a 30 min drive. Got me back on the road quick which is what I needed since I had the windows down when the FRM failed like a dumb ass. I am just realizing now that I don't believe he updated the frm to prevent the failure from reoccurring. So, it looks like I'll be learning how to do it myself. Best way to do it any ways.

What suspension are you running? Looks like a clean drop!

Bought a Euro Impulse shift knob to try out. Does any one have an experience with this knob? I currently have the ZHP knob but I just feel like I need something a bit heavier. I know that a good percentage of people on this forum use the ZHP so I am probably in the minority.

Appreciate it! Running BC DS series coilovers with custom swift springs. Great setup for the money on a street car. Will see how they handle the track later this year.

SPL rear toe and tie rod ends to account for it being as low as it is.

Spotted a Fiat 124 Spider at Ft Campbell with a Pvt behind the wheel.
Normally I wouldn't point it out or take the time to take a picture, but because every other Pvt in the 101st Airborne is seemingly in a Challenger, Charger or Camero, this kid stood out to me.

Also having a tiny road trip with my oldest son, not in the M3, but in a totally badass vehicle…

Definitely going to watch Cars when we get home.

XKxRome0ox · 09-28-2021, 03:31 PM

car was filthy

gave it a wash over the weekend

The car was raspy and a bit more agressive on the way home from the shop with the test pipes, but once I applied the the tune, it completely transformed the car!

So linear, refined and responsive. I didn't think I could love my M3 any more than I already did! What an amazing new driving experience

I assume those wires running over your plenum are because you are RHD? Really unfortunate because it covers some of the lettering on your awesome plenum.

Holy crap I've never noticed it until u mentioned it. You're right, it appears only the RHD cars have that big mass of cables/hose on top of the plenum.

No kidding! Dodge must be making a killing in Maryland. It's damn near every other car lol. I'm next to a military base so if isn't a Charger it's a Camaro hauling ass up behind me. 9 times out of 10 a v6 at that.

There isn't a more aggressive driver than one in a V6 model of a V8 sports car

tbuck · 10-03-2021, 12:31 PM

I remember a friend of mine bought a V6 Challenger about 8 years ago or so and after 2 years was so tired of all the Dodge pukes giving him shit about his "V6" powered car that he sold the thing and swore he would never by another Dodge vehicle again. Penis shaming?

I have also always found these kind of guys to have no real clue about anything other than straight-line stuff. First corner I make it to, they are never to be seen again. Very one dimensional thinking.

CHSe92 · 10-03-2021, 12:46 PM

Installed a Coby wheel. Really satisfied overall and matches well with the inserts on the Cobra Nogaros too. Let's see how much I like in a few months after trying to keep it looking this fresh

Expressivedrives · 10-03-2021, 02:56 PM

We had a road trip in Austrian Alps. The Grossglockner High Alpine Road is the highest surfaced mountain pass road in Austria. It connects Salzburg with Carinthia via Hochtor Pass at 2,504 m. The road is named after the Grossglockner, Austria's highest mountain.

Notice these wet and super slippery cobblestones....

CalgaryX3 · 10-03-2021, 03:24 PM

A quick wash, fuel stabilizer, trickle charger and covered up for the winter.

Tint, PPF on the roof, carbon mirror caps and just got the POM GTS lip on today.
