What have you done with or to your M3 today?

ItsGary · 07-06-2018, 11:55 PM

Installed LED Reverse Lights. So much brighter at night. Can actually reverse into my driveway without worrying about hitting the garden landscaping

Agreed. Super cool.

Also, what code did you have before the replacement?

Route 16 · 07-08-2018, 09:54 AM

saw my car yesterday and heard it for the first time with new test pipes
also having spark plugs and Alpine stage 2 motor tune, the response feels more crisp

BOOF-M3 · 07-08-2018, 01:06 PM

This, and I wouldn't take back a single mile of it. Warning is for low on gas.

Jerry.E90M3 · 07-08-2018, 03:16 PM

I'll play the mileage game too!

spazzyfry123 · 07-08-2018, 03:40 PM

I get to park mine outside because the neighbor whose water heater is above my garage leaked AGAIN! And somehow, despite this being the second time this has happened since we moved in and me rarely driving the car, the M3 was not in the garage when the leak happened. First time I chose to drive it to work and this time we decided to take it to dinner last night. Somethingsomething silver lining somethingsomething...

This is really expediting our decision to build this house

strokemycocktus · 07-08-2018, 03:58 PM

Replaced the piece of shit plastic skid plate again, this time on the passenger side. I still can't believe they made it out of cardboard. And the price at the dealer went up about 20%

The standard battery failing/low voltage indicator is a dashboard that lights up like a Christmas tree. Glad you got it sorted. Much nicer weather this weekend than M-W. Ugh.

Thanks! It's a Milwaukee M18 LED work light. It's an older model and only works with the 18-volt battery, but the newer ones work with a battery and regular 110V power. I absolutely love the light even without the 110V option. They are so fast to set up and put away.

00B23 - Idle Actuator Bank 1

There were some secondary codes for limp mode, cruise control etc.

Just drove from San Diego to LA and back and still running perfectly!

Drove up a mountain pretty fast.
Drove down a mountain too fast that my ears couldn't adjust to pressure change which gave me a headache now.
Dealt with a shitty border agent too. Threatened to take away my Nexus even though he said I was free to go. Then says I'm not done with inspection. Eat my dick.

Anyways. Enjoying the car vs a few months ago during the colder season when I debated selling the car
