Edit: Oscar or whatever

Nice!

What's been your issue? I had a TPMS malfunction. Dealer replaced all sensors then still had the error, so then replaced the centralized module and put back in the old sensors.

And I still have gotten a few pop up TPMS malfunction messages. But haven't had it for a few weeks so I'm at a loss. I'm hoping mine vanished like yours lol.

I forget the exact words but it was a 'TPMS system malfunction. Cannot monitor tire pressure', or something like that.

Dealership said my TPMS sensor battery died. Thinking the module was just unplugged in light of Blindside_137 post

Tried out some interior brushes with p&s express on the leather. Not bad for 105k mile interior!

good lord! do mine too!

It's really easy! Xpress clean is cheap, so are the brushes! Just spray, lather with a brush, wipe! There was still more to clean but didn't want to kill myself, so I'm just going to do it over the next couple washes

It brings me great joy knowing that is your most fun car.

Are you sure that's not a new car?

I wish, my valve cover gaskets say otherwise! That said, being garaged its whole life and never sitting outside has paid off!

I wish mine looked that nice and I'm only at 60k on a 2013.

Last fall I was involved in a hit-and-run in which my M3 was totaled. A drunk put me into and sent me over a retaining wall at highway speeds (she was later caught).

I was not only heartbroken but my body was as well. I fractured 3 vertebrae and broke my sacrum (spade-shaped bone at the base of your spine). I have a 3" titanium screw in my back as a permanent reminder.

After about 6 months of intensive rehab I began assembling parts to rebuild an M3. In June, I found a replacement - a minty, pampered 2008 Space Gray over Fox Red 1-owner that was purchased new in Germany by an Officer in the Air Force who shipped it state-side after his tour. From there it spent its life in California where I bought it sight unseen with a very modest 42,000 miles.

Three weeks ago I dropped it off at my buddy's race shop for serious surgery (shout out to Pete's European Techniques and getting friend labor rates). Today I took re-delivery of her in all her glory.

Build list:

- ESS 625
- Rod Bearings
- JRZ RS Twos w/ Ground Control camber plates
- Eibach 700 / 900 springs
- Fall Line Rear End Links
- GAS Monoballs
- Dinan Sway
- AKG Engine and Tranny mounts
- Stoptech Trophy Nickel Plated BBK
- Awron gague
- Challenge X-pipe
- Eisenmann Race rear powder-coated black
- 19" Titan 7s w/ Michelin 4s
- Ultimate Clutch Pedal
- AutoSolutions SSK
- Front and rear wheel bearings
- Corner balance
- Plugs, diff and tranny fluid, and other random maintenance items
- Assorted other goodies...

A complete detail is on the menu for the weekend. I'm officially back in the saddle.

Cheers,

- Ryan

Finally had a new to me OEM BMW electronic performance steering wheel (v1), red buttons from iND, and carbon trim (dash & center console) from Autotecknic installed by RRT in VA. The trim definitely transforms the interior, and the new wheel absolutely enhances the enjoyment of the driving experience. I personally love how the orange race display/LEDs match OEM screens on the gauge/dash.

jradon · 10-22-2021, 03:28 AM

Today I changed the spark plugs and used ONR to clean the engine bay.

Nice wheel. Why did you go with v1 instead of v2? Just curious.

Didn't really do anything today, but my new wheels finally showed up after a 5 month wait. Placed the order back in May 2021.

They are a staggered fitment. Medium Disk fronts 19x10+16 super low disk rears 19x10.5+18.
