I got the thinkware f800. I like their parking feature over the blackvue. But I only drove the M3 on weekends so the parking mode won’t really do anything for me lol

Crossed the 40k mileage mark, reluctantly!

Having a little trouble with my original plan to rest the M3 and drive my Tacoma to work a couple days a week. Way too much fun!

Wish ICBC would start giving a discount for having a front and rear dash cam. Insurance fucked me up. $462/month

Flashed the new updated TCU GTS settings but going to revert back to the old one. Felt better.

M3's need no rest. LOL

You only live once. You're not promised tomorrow.

And, it's only a car, a machine....no need to preserve it. There's always more machines.

How many times did you have to refuel?

Stopped twice but I'd say a bit over one tank. Chill at the pump.

Getting ready for a much needed cleaning....If that counts.

spazzyfry123 · 06-30-2018, 11:40 AM

Raged through the city for a couple hours early this morning scaring the kids and old folks with my unnecessary gunshot downshifts to each red light.

Better than coffee.

XKxRome0ox · 06-30-2018, 11:47 AM

Used my M3 as a wheel and tire hauler again
Putting away my old wheels in storage
Realizing more and more that I need an exhaust ... stock is just too tame

ItsGary · 07-01-2018, 02:19 PM

Brake Fluid Flush last night. Took a bit.

Currently have Motul 600 RBF DOT4

s14_kev · 07-01-2018, 10:30 PM

F10 M5 knob went in today! I've always loved the feel of the ZHP knob and I love that the M5 knob is illuminated just like the original knob. I used this video for install instructions (very informative. Followed the steps to a tee):

Here are some pics of the final product!

I live in California. I get this at a place in Sunol, near San Jose, CA. This is the only place I have ever come across that offers high octane gasoline. Standard premium gasoline in CA is 91 octane. Definitely feel a boost in power going from 91 to 96. Well worth it if I'm ever passing through Sunol.

About 60 Miles from Sonoma Raceway and 90 from Laguna Seca. Can't speak for anything between those two.

I would check the spacers. Most of them do cause vibration as they're out of balanced. Did you have vibration prior to spacers? Wheel vibration is easy enough to check. Just take it to a tire shop and have the wheels re-balance them if needed. Usually road force balancing will fix vibration. Our car is very sensitive to wheel balancing. I had a slightly vibration once because one front wheel was off by only 0.25oz.

Either way I would address it sooner rather than later as excessive wheel vibrations will cause accelerated tire wear and will lead to premature wear on steering system parts. Plus it makes your car unstable at highway speed which defeats the purpose of the m3.
