What have you done with or to your M3 today?

Raek · 05-15-2019, 07:30 PM

Cleaned up my trunk a little concerning air lines and stuff. This is by no means the finished product...I plan on mounting the management system underneath the floor and adding another compressor to the opposite side of where the one is now. This should clean up the lines and give me a bit more space back.

I drove it for the first time in weeks on a long road trip. This car is good!

If this car isn't a future classic I don't know what is

Every time you open up an engine, regardless how clean and careful the shop is, you risk contaminants getting in, such as key and wrapper (too soon?). Doing an oil change shortly after will help flush out any contaminate and assembly oil out.

You realize, of course, that you might as well have a neon sign over your car saying "please abuse me".

ASFAIK you have the only Frozen White car here in locally.

I know of a frozen black, grey and blue which are owned by friends and there's a frozen silver one on sale again

Can't wait to see a Frozen Red in person

wfdeacon88 · 05-16-2019, 04:15 PM

On one of the rare days I was driving the Tahoe, I had an e92 M behind me in W-S, NC. I only have seen one or two a year.

after taking care of the issues, shouldn't you drive it more instead of storing it away?

i just spent $2000 in the past 2 weeks for maintenance
did the throttle actuator replacement with a friend
... but immediately afterwards, the ac compressor crapped out
had a shop take care of the ac compressor and the receiver drier filter thing

shop showed me the receiver drier ... it was looking pretty filthy
all clogged up so it causes back pressure on the ac compressor
that's what i was told

xander_g · 05-16-2019, 06:39 PM

finally got the coil over conversion kit installed
and
replaced a drl bulb

JP10 · 05-17-2019, 06:50 AM

Got these in the mail finally, pumped to get them mounted!!

Dpc2u · 05-17-2019, 09:55 AM

Used Protool to code to Euro mdm.

2 clicks and done!

LeeMT · 05-17-2019, 02:56 PM

anyways, very enjoy this headlight upgrade, worth the time and money I spend on it.

PS: I got two OEM headlights housing for sale, they were replaced and removed from this E90.
