What have you done with or to your M3 today?

[Davisca455]

Fuel door wouldn't close all the way when leaving Laguna Seca yesterday.

Busted spring in the Ballpoint Pen mechanism.

Only $19 from Amazon, but I spent $30 at the dealer because I'm a spoiled brat and I wanted it now.

I got them lightly used, but these were originally ordered via Stranoparts (strano@stranoparts.com) I think for a bit over $4k. I do street class autocross where I can't change springs from OEM, so that's why I went for this instead of some other coilover setup at that price range.

Cleaned my filthy car

Need to replace an angel eye bulb

Went to the Tennessee State Veterans Home with the Nashville BMW Club. Residents were able to come out and see all the cars and some great conversation was had. I was truly honored to be there.

Finally got my carbon fiber driveshaft installed (w/ new giubo/new bolts) and replaced my busted bumper air duct.

Took it for a weekend drive to fill up for the coming week and to give it an Italian tune-up as I haven't driven it all month

Love to hear your initial thoughts - mine is on the way.

"Winterizing" aka putting on DWS 06plus tires. Not that I'll be driving much in the winter. Also tried my hand at swirl removal with Sonax perfect finish and Griots DA. Didn't get pix that properly show the results but stoked with the results.

Gotta say, after years of using "all season" tires on various cars, and almost always being more than a little underwhelmed by their performance, I have found the DWS 06/06+ to be astonishingly good. Have not had them on my E92 yet, but have them on 2 other cars and they are just as good as most of the mid- to high-end summer tires, both wet and dry. I drive my MINI very, very hard, and these things just grip and grip and grip. A great tire!

One last run for the summer, tonight. Topped her up with some fresh fuel, stabilizer, and one final wash tomorrow before hibernating again until Spring.

I agree wholeheartedly. The DWS 06 on my STI for the last 6 ish years have been the best all season tire I've ever had on a Subaru in 17 years of driving STI variants. The only complaint I have is that after about 4 years they get pretty loud as the compound hardens. But I've literally been through blizzards and 100+ degree drives on these tires and they've only let me down one time. Got stuck in my driveway but i was basically plowing with how little ground clearance I have and was stuck in the middle of a dog-leg right turn uphill into my property. I've done some VERY questionable things in the snow and mud with these tires and got away with it. In my opinion, there isn't a better tire for pacific northwest driving conditions for the money. I do have Viking Contacts for real winter conditions and snowboarding trips.

This is the first set of "plus" I've had and the first all seasons I've tried on the M so we'll see how it goes. I am told this compound is longer wearing yet more quiet. I expect good things. I've only put a couple hundred miles on them so far as I was driving my dad around while he recovered from heart surgery. I find them to be whisper quiet so far, yet they have plenty of grip in the dry. Of course my PS4S will remain my preferred summer tire.

Put its battery on charge, cold started it and have a run around the neighborhood

[asma123]

Went for a cruise with the boys!

[CamasM3e93]

Dropped the girls off at the barn for their morning of chores and riding lessons, then loaded an 80 mile backcountry drive into my new favorite app - Scenic. This turn by turn direction app is everything google maps and others are not, and I'm really looking forward to using it for road trips and weekend jaunts. Among other functions, you can choose a starting point, length of trip, road properties, and the app will generate extra twisty drives. It also allows for regional download of maps so you're not needing perfect cell coverage. Many fun days ahead…..

Finally got around and painted the calipers. Yellow definitely pops and complements the blue color.

Haven't had a chance to take her out for an in-depth review yet but one things for sure…no more cowbell

Met up with the local gang for coffee this morning. Thank you derbo for resetting my EDC and DCT adaptations. My EDC modes have been feeling less distinct lately and the technical wizards on here have recently uncovered more information about EDC compensation/adaptations, so I figured this was a safe try in order to buy time before they need rebuilding or replacing. And DCT adaptations because why not. Was also fun driving his car to feel the AS SSK and MCS coilovers, and the 3DM Ohlins on slcook54‘s Melbourne monster.






Picked up some clean and NLA M Performance carbon mirrors from SAMM3Y, threw them on today and test fitted the M Performance splitters which will go on another day.

The calipers look nice but what're you doing with the rotor hat?

I had a G2 paint kit sitting for a while in black. Decided to use that to fresh them up but it didn't turn out good. I read online that paint levels itself and brush strokes will go away once paint dry. Well that didn't happen. I now need to sand them and repaint them flat black.
