What have you done with or to your M3 today?

But I'd also want them to come off pretty easy when it comes time to use the car like it was intended

OEM racks with the Thule fairing.

Super easy, each post goes in with one bolt. I'm gonna attach the bike racks tomorrow or Wednesday, and try to figure out a color scheme. I'll let ya know how it goes.

You know they make real nice suction cup mounts to avoid all that jazz.

Our cars have built in rack mounts, why wouldn't you use them?

Because you can use them on any car/multiple cars. When not in use you don't have a rack on your roof. Please don't tell me you like how roof racks look especially on high end cars

The OEM rack takes 30 seconds to remove. I think the OEM rack is a lot cleaner than a rack suction cupped to the roof

I have used the OEM rack for my mtn bike and road bike and never had an issue.

What difference is there between OEM and Thule? I've read in a few places that Thule even manufactured the OEM one...?

1. Changed spark plugs today at 36,942 miles. Really wasn't that bad overall, only one that was a problem was the passenger side rear. Hell it was hard to even fully seat the ignition coil because there is just no room to push down. Driver's side looks worse than passenger side for some odd reason.

2. Removed spacers (15mm front and 12mm rear) because I had steering wheel vibration over 65 mph. Once removed I only had a very a slight vibration over 65, so it did help quite a bit. Guess I'll do an alignment and balance to see if that gets rid of it.

3. Had the windows tinted Friday at 18%.

Would love to see the tint!

Put a ton of miles and smiles on it through the Smokies yesterday before we headed back home. For whatever reason, these were the only pictures that I took, but I think the dirt speaks for itself.

Love this! Looks good!

Forgot to mention that Gladstone was helping, trying to teach him how to do basic maintenance

Come again?

I’ve done quite a bit after picking up the car a couple of weeks ago. Fresh fluids, proper interior exterior, detail including leather condoning and engine detail, installed lux angel eyes, and put on new Michelin Pilot A/S 3+...it’s only been a couple of weeks but I love this thing to bits. More attached to this car after two weeks than I was for the year I owned an F80.

Got the car about a month ago, an AW ZCP '12 with Fox Red interior and sunroof, 40k miles. Got a Blackstone report on the oil that's been in the car for 5k miles before I got the car, it shows good numbers. Couple of weeks after purchase the car threw a code due to a bad brake vacuum pressure sensor, had to replace it.

My future plans for the car are mainly peace-of-mind-related: a clear bra on the front, swapping gears in the TAs, doing rod bearings and motor mounts. Car needs a new evaporator, but it's lower on the list.

Minor items planned are diff and trans fluids, spark plugs.

Again, welcome Notouching!

Haven't been around my car for a few days, I go outside and someone either bumped into it or something happened to my door.

Kinda annoyed, but luckily I'm moving into an actual house where I can park it in the garage and away from this Town House.

Drove to local cars & coffee, then to Baltimore, then home. Saw a stanced Infiniti fumbling his phone to take a picture of me.

I made sure my exhaust was crackling and popping more than normal when he was following me.
