What have you done with or to your M3 today?

Scharbag · 03-18-2018, 05:49 PM

Updated my maps with 2018-1 NA Premium. Slick as hell given I used a lifetime FSC code last year. Did not prompt for any code this time, just updated smooth as buttah.

Changed my oil in preparation for summer. Cut my old filter apart to look for any issues as I changed my bearings a while ago. Looked nice an clean. Car has now had 9 oil changes in 31,xxxKM

Contemplating ordering a ZHP knob...

Hoping for the snow to melt!!

Flushed brake fluid

Trust me. The best compliment I received so far is for the European style number plate. Totally enhances the aesthetics of the car.

Took her out on a mild midwestern day.... hit 100mph and she said, "Thanks"

Got the car out for the first time since last year when I put here away. I put on the my 4X (275/30/19 PS4S on 19x9.5 220M) and drove around with some other guys for ~120 miles. Loved the new rubber and the square setup.

A 320i owner tried to race me lol. Then asked what engine it was and the power ahaha

If he “tried” to race you what prompted him to ask you what engine etc? Uh huh 🙄 busted!

Has anyone seen an emblem get worn out like this for the engine vanity stuff? I can only assume a previous owner, or maybe a dealer, used some serious chemicals to clean it. Easy to replace and now when I pop the hood I don't have to look at that sad M.

m3jala · 03-19-2018, 06:01 PM

Bought a Blackvue DR750s dashcam to protect the investment. Will install it some upcoming weekend. Subscribe for a "bad driver" youtube video 1 year out from now.

DreamTime · 03-19-2018, 11:55 PM

Finished installing my water pump, thermostat, and temp sensor. My wp was making an awful noise and the wp pulley was pretty wobbly when I looked at it while the engine was running, so it was time to switch it out. Just took the car for the test drive and it runs great, no more worrying about the water pump!

One of the biggest wins was getting the old thermostat out of the t stat housing... if I would have known how much of a b**** it was going to be, I would have just bought a new housing...

Thanks Scarbag, interesting. Updated mine a couple of years ago by paying a guy for the code. Don't use my nav as google map is soo much easier but will give this a go just for the fun of it!
