What have you done with or to your M3 today?

MidLifeCrisis330Xi · 08-24-2018, 07:00 PM

Had new Apex ARC-8 anthrasite staggered wheels with new rubber put on, replacing th stock ones. Bumped up to 265s in the front and 285s rear getting ready for track day next month. Next up is camber plates to set up so I don’t chew them up in one outing.

wyatth · 08-24-2018, 07:14 PM

Finally pulled the trigger on the Alpine DCT tune and feature coding.

Cleaned her up, gassed her up and then went and revved her up!

lancerr · 08-25-2018, 01:13 AM

Bought a set of OEM GTS style satin black wheels from a forum member (05Mdriver) and tried to polish my exhaust.

Keep reading about the AC motor recall since quite some time. Checked with our dealers multiple times, they have no clue what I'm talking about. First thought maybe an US/warmer climate thing but seen also the UK folks getting the recall. Find it strange...

It's even better when you get a used intake that was never even installed for $700. Seller paid the paypal fees and $70 dollars shipping.

He's not hurting because he just picked up an M4 & an M2.

I was referring to it being your first mod, meaning now you won’t be able to quit modding

How do I find out if the car has premium audio?

The speakers will look like this with silver trim rings.
Or a VIN search looking for Individual Audio.

Nice little nail.

BOOF-M3 · 08-25-2018, 06:14 PM

Anyone heard from OP at all? He had a huge presence for a long time.

WingZeroX5 · 08-25-2018, 06:20 PM

Finally changed the gasket on the DCT.
Changed DCT fluid
Changed DCT Filter
Changed DCT suction filter

6ixSpd · 08-25-2018, 10:58 PM

Made a quick exhaust clip

Yea, I was hoping maybe someone new him. I hope he is well.

Megabrode · 08-27-2018, 10:50 AM

Somebody with a trailer hitch parallel-parked a nasty hole in my front bumper. With my high deductible, I didn't want to claim the damage and got three estimates to repaint the entire bumper: $1590, $1250, and $435. The $435 shop had 5-star reviews and took the car immediately. I asked the owner/tech, while he was at it, to fill the reflector-insert holes. No problem: an extra $90. Result: perfect paint match, no orange peel, no more pinhole damage or under-lip scratches, and euro look with no inserts. Moral: beware the shop with Porsches out front.

GRUESOM3 · 08-27-2018, 10:55 AM

Finally
Took it out on a long drive about 250 Miles round trip to a winery. Hit a milestone on way there.

A business that does that good work at a reasonable cost, should be named to show appreciation from us forum members.
