What have you done with or to your M3 today?

On the other hand, this is basically a muffler delete if you go for a 4 pipe mod, so it does sound cool but I don't know if I would want it for a daily driver

I guess all the "branded" exhausts sound nice and are louder but still bearable on a highway with no drone. What is your experience and which mod did you go for?

I saw some nice tips for $1400 for the set. Ugh... I wonder if there are any cheaper but not Chinese knock offs. This is a 2 pipe mod.

Not sure, I’ve never needed to take advantage of a tire warranty but it looks to only apply to premature wear

Installed my top speed catless x pipe with quad resonators and installed Alex's stage 2 tune. Car is an animal now.

Hard to pass up a brand new x pipe with quad resonators for under $800 shipped to your door (used a 10% discount code they had going on). It's a little louder than I thought it would be, but I'm happy overall. I'll know more after I drive it for the next few days.

Started her up after being away for 2 weeks and she fired right up! Lovely Akrapovic cold start sounds lol!

Went to eat breakfast and took a pic of it parked while waiting.

Recently smashed up my replica vorsteiner lip by carelessly pulling into a driveway that turned out to be much more steeply banked than it looked. Caught it in just the right spot

Took a chance on these splitters for something new, they don't seem to be widely used. Fitment is very good and ground clearance seems slightly better than the last lip. Hoping to keep them in one piece for longer than 6 months..

Yeah, you can tell I'm in love with this thing.

That sounds great! Which version of the exhaust mod did you do 2 or 4 pipe replacement?

I'll have more clips soon, weather has been ass for the past 3 days. Might get some tunnel runs in later if weather permits it.

Lol I swear that's it! All other maintenance items follow recommended schedule or sooner. Well still haven't done rod bearings, but I monitor with Blackstone. But yeah, I inspected them around 145k and they were fine (and up until recently 10k miles was only 4 months for me), but went to a track event recently and that finally did them in. Replacement has been on my shortlist for a while due to the multitude of other posts from people showing damaged engine mounts anywhere from 80-120k but couldn't make up my mind on which aftermarket ones to get. Now I'm not driving my car nearly as much so I decided to go with the Revshift 75D poly mounts.

I'm not sure you would be able to feel a bad engine mount until it got like this or close to this. In my case there was a weird unbalanced feel from the engine under acceleration (a moderate vibration, but not crazy). Aside from that, general practice is to just inspect them visually.

Well the engine feels locked down again for starters. Loving the poly mounts so far. Shifts feel a lot more controlled. Additional vibration through cabin and steering wheel is minimal surprisingly. It does introduce a decent amount of mechanical engine noise above 4k though. Not terrible though.

Only increases that raw nice feeling though...

New brakes showed up today. ST60 front and ST40 rear, popped open the box just to see how massive the front rotors/calipers are
