What have you done with or to your M3 today?

Much better. Just need more low haha.

My wife got me an OEM cover for the M3 since I can't get in our garage now that I am lowered and have the GTS lip.

Need to have the concrete guys come and make the hump a little less steep.

Can you use wood planks to build a small rise ramp?

That sucks. I bought a Bridgit ramp to get mine over the gutter and into my driveway at our new house and it's worked great. Have to measure to be sure it'll work as intended and it's way more $$ than you'd think you'd have to spend on a chunk of rubber but it has been great so far. Thought I'd throw that out in case you or anyone else in your situation find it helpful.

Well, this happened.

Reconsidering whether I should have got a GT4 instead.

Also considering coils now that I went from 19" to 18".

Looking good!

What is making you want the GT4 vs. GTS1?

Just looks more aggressive. I originally planned on ZCP wheels and got the GTS1 as I thought it would pair with the ZCP better.

I noticed tips #1 and #4 on the Dinan exhaust were not functional, so I removed them and surprisingly they were almost 5lb combined! I've come to actually like the look of seeing the exhaust can.

I finally pulled the M out and gave her a bath; first of the year! Also, inching the 16k mark!

Ubersmooth · 06-21-2021, 05:29 PM

Found a shop in Texas that will get me a driveshaft in 8-10 days. Finally got the ball rolling on all the repairs, hoping in by mid July the car will be driving again!

Acap14 · 06-21-2021, 05:29 PM

Started installing my Harrop S/C Saturday. Made good progress today…

Added a better amp to power my W7. I like JL's DSP interface much better than Audison's. The bass is so clean! No crazy booms just clean clear lows.

made an F10 lighted ZHP shift knob work. on the plus side -- it looks awesome, and the leather is nicer. on the the minus, the nicer leather is thicker and so the snap ring doesn't clip in fully. i've spent some time with a dremel thinning it out and got it close enough for now, may have to go back for another pass or 10 if it starts popping out.

looks great, giant pain in the ass to do.

XKxRome0ox · 06-22-2021, 07:02 PM

So I ordered a set of TPMS
The tire shop showed me that the valve stem was not fitting properly with my wheel
Wtf
The valve stem and the cover(?) left too much room at the wheel
Do I need to know what length the valve stem has to be?
This is ridiculous

aznazasin · 06-22-2021, 11:31 PM

Threw on my TEs after a wash. Really digging how they look.

Ajolives · 06-23-2021, 06:24 AM

A/C is acting up, took over a minute to blow cold after sitting for a couple days. Bought a DIY charging can just for S&G to see how the refrigerant was and I was right at 45-50 psi for low pressure, which is a bit high (93 degrees full-ass Fl humidity). Thinking of buying the proper gauges to troubleshoot or just send it off to a pro. Right in time for summer!!

From what I remember with my 335i there was a different tpms based on what your build year/date is. Wouldn't doubt the M3 has something similar.
