What have you done with or to your M3 today?

justinwebster7 · 11-02-2019, 04:57 PM

Rear pads and windshield washer pump...

Dave07997S · 11-02-2019, 06:36 PM

Changed my oil..

wyatth · 11-02-2019, 11:15 PM

Dinan camber plates and new OE top hats and bump stops went on. The original hats and stops looked like new (50K), but oh well. Now set to -2* up front.

Also had Brembo GT 380mm/6 F and 380mm/4 R put on.

The car will never touch rain or snow but the slickness and gloss is insane.

Do you use something as a base layer sealant/protector? I watched a review or two on bead maker, just as you described it's great gloss and repellant, but doesn't last long. Just curious if I can combine with he hybrid ceramic wax I use as a base layer.

I just keep it simple since I already have full PPF and ceramic coating. Too many products out there that I tried over the years with no real significant results . Beadmaker pretty much does everything. Not sure how long it last since I don’t drive in rain or snow so in theory it should last longer until the next wash. It should last longer after several applications since the first one you will use more product.

Decided to paint the Corsa Cans black to match the aftermarket Black tips. Hopefully it hides them a little more.

Dpc2u · 11-03-2019, 04:19 PM

Been out of the country, so took the tender of and drove it for the 1st time in 3 weeks.

Grip Addict · 11-03-2019, 06:43 PM

Hooked it up on the charger

wyatth · 11-04-2019, 01:30 AM

Had it detailed.

Scharbag · 11-04-2019, 04:12 PM

Drove it all over Victoria.

Is it strange that I am stoked that my E92 has gone 198km on just over half a tank of fuel? Most of the miles are spirited city driving.

For context, before I changed my O2 sensors, I struggled to get 200km on a tank.

Not saying I really care about the mileage, it is just nice to have my car working properly again.

_paolo · 11-04-2019, 06:18 PM

Replaced the Throttle Actuators today. Easy Peasy

No dust, nice and clean in there...

Nice! Replaced mine recently (Rebuild UK), took around 5h with coffe break and careful pace. Dealer wanted 3h which seems steep once you get the hang of it?

Space Fox · 11-05-2019, 07:39 AM

Did some spirited driving through some Tampa back roads with my buddy and his new M4. He spent a lot of time in my rear view

Also had the new polished tips installed. Pretty happy with them.

I had just cleaned the car earlier. I have a bit of OCD.

There is one dead bug at the lower right side of my tach. Drives me nuts. I wonder how hard it is to remove the clear plastic in front of the gauge cluster...

Cheers,

😎

Nice! Mpowersports is a Rebuild UK authorized dealer here in the U.S.
Half the price of a brand new TA with better parts and a lifetime warranty! I said sign me up!

I think it took me about 2-3 hours. I took plenty of breaks (daddy duty). Hardest part was trying to figure out how to undo some of the clips lol

BMW has some strange theories about how to keep connectors from staying together. Also, some time I wonder if they design them specifically to NEVER COME APART.
