We need front plates here in MD too but I've never installed one. In my 4 years of ownership I've been pulled over once. It's worth the $70 ticket to not have a front plate in my opinion

You know an M is enthusiast owned when it has 90k miles on it and the paint looks better than some peoples cars that are 2019.. :

Stick to the premise of the thread. It's not "What douche bag thing did you do today?"

Hurling insults at M3 drivers hey? Making off topic posts hey? No one likes a hypocrite. Again a simple report would get my "off topic comments" reviewed by the mods or you could pm me as to not air your grievances in a public forum.

At least now we know who the security is around here for "off topic comments" since you've appointed yourself the authority. It's not even your thread.

Now let's get back to the riveting discussion about driving to the gas station and "drove my m3 to work" so Mr.Dr.Dre can quench his hunger on deep technical M3 analysis before he hurls more insults.

I just moved to BC and we need front plates here too.

I. Hate. The. Damn. Thing.

Got a tow hook mount, it works... I have the paint-matched BMW bracket, but I do not want to drill holes in my bumper.

Not sure why we cannot all just agree that front plates are useless and be done with them!!!

As far as what I did lately with my M3: I went for a great cruise on the weekend. Up the peninsula in beautiful Victoria with a couple other car people and stopped for lunch at the Red Barn. My E92, an E93 and an S3. Love the sound of the M3 V8. Damn tuned S3 is quick!!

Happy motoring.

Unfortunately, I did not take any photos... Oh well.

Happy motoring.

I hear you! I don't like the front plate at all, either. I actually don't have front plate on my celica. I think I've only gotten two tickets in the 18 years with that car. Good thing is no front plate ticket doesn't have driver penalty points, so just a fine. I think it is worth the risk. Most cops don't hassle you about front plate unless you give them a reason to pull you over. Then they'll add that violation on.

Sadly my m3 came with the front bumper drilled for plate, otherwise I'll be driving without one. If and when I repaint the front bumper I'll definitely get rid the front plate.

Have a chance to drive the pacific rim highway yet and make your way to Tofino? That is also a beautiful drive, plus Tacofino is a must stop while you're there!

I don't understand the need either, and we're on the same page. HATE IT

I went tow hook as well, no shot am I drilling into my bumper. Thankfully might be moving soon and the state doesn't require front plates haha.

how long did you leave your car sitting for?

Lost a wheel balance, can't go 100km/h anymore. Went to go get it balanced but it wouldn't balance after 6 wheel weights. Also discovered the right rear tire has 6 nails in it )))).

Going to order new rear tires soon. Been working 12 hours shifts so I don't really have time to do anything with the car.

Did claybar the car though. I have a lot of hood chips. Need to get that sorted and then during fall I'll order the vinyl for the colour I want to wrap my car.

Thank you. I'm very excited about this one as well.

Do you want me to send a box of peach flavored water?

That interior...what a score! WANT!

Is the exterior Montreal Blue? It looks black in some places, blue in others, which was a typical MB response to light.

Ordered a new driveshaft. From DS Specialist for just over $600.00 shipped. Takes 2 days to make.

Here they are at 53k miles. I think they look OK(?), except maybe the copper showing towards the edges on some of them. The bearings are not in particular order.
Also, the car feels so much better with the new motor mounts.

Those are totally trashed.

Hydrodynamic bearings should not wear out!!! When designed properly, they should never ever wear out the babbitt layer.
