What have you done with or to your M3 today?

Hondaman23 · 07-13-2018, 06:43 AM

Replaced Throttle Actuators and went for a 25 min drive in the country - Woke @ 6, was on road by 6:45 and back home by 7:10. Friday morning V8 sounds reverberating off North Carolina mountains with the M button pressed! That is an awesome start!

Have you changed your rod bearings? If so what mileage did you do it? Do you need to do it again?

Agent - ///M · 07-13-2018, 08:19 PM

Changed at 109K, with WPC treated bearings. Not planning on changing them for a while.

I'm trying to decide if I should do it on the car I am buying with 35k miles

We will see what the oil analysis says

You should change them again at 130k

pcohen15 · 07-14-2018, 01:42 AM

This is what I did to my M3 today. Decided to research the effective range of PDC to the side of the car. Guess what? Not that far.

Made a total dumbass move backing up at a gas station, right into a giant concrete column. The column won. At least I'll get the shitty paint on the bumper from a previous owner taken care of. So pissed at myself.

Should we start a pool for guessing what the estimate will be? I think we should. If you come closest to the actual, final cost to repair I'll make you a photo app for your smartphone with images of your M3. Repairs will be done at a certified BMW collision center that does high-end work. (I'm a photographer; these are very cool apps.)

(Moderators should feel free to yell at me of this breaks some kind of forum rule or protocol.)

I had almost similar work done to mine a few months ago minus the taillight, someone swiped me while driving. They pulled the rear quarter a LITTLE bit, painted the rear quarter, and the corner of the bumper and blended it. They did a great job you can’t even tell so I’m sure your shop should be able to get yours back to normal. I believe the repair cost was about 1700. If you’re paying out of pocket you might want to skip the taillight at the body shop, source it and replace it yourself

Love the practicality. Replaced my lifted Wrangler Unlimited as my utility vehicle. Jeep wasnt good on the street.
