Yup. They are indeed identical other than the illumination. Fantastic little mod for 6MT cars!

Well if there's a flare up of covid in BC we'll have some idea why. It'd be nice if someone sent these images with all your faces and license plate #s to the local media outlets to shame you morons...

Lol..^^^ agreed but dial it back a bit. I found myself at the grocery store today judging those not is masks and gloves.. 😂. I think if you're gonna go out to car meets and social gatherings don't post it regardless of the precautions you're taking.

Found a neat spot for night shots. Needs a bit more editing, but work in progress.

Wow 34 cars, surprised no bylaw or cops came talk to you guys.

And here I am feeling bad the other night when 4 of us took a drive up sea-to-sky and got out to take photos. Although we took turns while rest of us spread apart and stay out of frame.

Out of Covid boredom I got a different front lip. Laid 5 coats of Imron on it Friday night and installed it today after removing the old one.

Decided to take advantage of everyone quarantining and went for a drive in central PA. Did Gold Mine Rd to 125N which I've heard referred to as the "PA Tail of the Dragon". I saw 3 cars the entire time I was on this strip of roads (probably 40 total miles). This was the first time I've driven the car fairly hard since owning it. This is such a rewarding car to drive fast through some fairly technical roads. I'm always impressed by the front end grip of this car and how easy it is to get the car sideways.

After pushing the car, I've really started to wonder if I really want something else. There are definitely faster cars, but are they better to drive? This gen of M3s is a really nicely balanced vehicle.

Quality pictures like always.

Whenever this whole pandemic thing blows over you should have a little photoshoot with the other Frozen cars that are local. The only colour that's missing is Red tho.

well I put the Eventuri CF plenum on but I can't get the OEM intake elbow back on. I been trying for 3 hours.

I don't think I've seen anyone actually install this with the OEM intake so my guess is it doesn't actually fit.

*updated it fits.

cleaned her up

I love those quiet sunday evenings where I get to spend a bunch of time cleaning her up.

p&s all in one for the inside followed by leather cleaner and VSP for the plastic parts. p&s brake buster for the wheels, foaming shampoo, dry followed by p&s beadmaker. start when its light and end when the sun is just starting to go down and the lighting is perfect.

Nevermind I got it on, no idea how.

Quick review. sounds 100 percent stock with regular driving behavior. At wide open throttle and high revs it's startlingly loud. It sound incredible at wide open throttle. Some downshifts sound really different and awesome too, but others sound as it did before (don't know why).

No reason for an exhaust really, don't think you would be able to hear it unless under 5k rpm.

Gave it a wash and a friend of mine helped me take some quick shots. Took it for the first drive with the squad also

Now I'm getting really tired of the rushing sound from speaker on the drivers door. I have the individual audio (S752A) and have tried to switch the speaker from the passenger door and there is no problem with the speaker from the drivers door. Any suggestions?

Hej Adi,

realized only now that you also are located in Sthlm. Car meet recently, where about?

Have the individual system as well. As the speaker seem fine I have no ideas other than fwiw check connections on the amp (in the trunk).

Lovely car! Guess you recently got it, what year and mileage?

newbie question
what are the pros and cons of switching from AGM to LiOn?
do you need to do anything to use a LiOn battery instead of AGM battery?

Will def check the connections, thanks!

Bought it in February. It's a 2012 with 75 000 km ~ 46 600 miles. Have seen a couple of pictures of yours too, looks really good!

Road looks great! Live down town, other than "Slingerbulten" I havent' been able to find any proper back roads really, maybe you can give me some advice.
And for sure, let me know when you're out next time and I'll tag along!

Cheers
