What have you done with or to your M3 today?

Ccieszyn · 02-08-2021, 10:15 AM

Installed the Induktiv wireless charging mat. I also installed a fresh power/EDC/traction button strip, as is tradition (what a garbage design those buttons have!)

The mat is great. I bought it pre-installed in the oddments tray, but I really didn't like the crummy Velcro that was used and thought I might end up with a rattle. So I used automotive Goop as a more permanent solution. Now the mat and tray look and feel as one piece. Love not having a wire hanging around in the cabin any more!

Cheers mate, bucket of warm water and some damp micro sorted it to perfection...

I had the day off so I got a chance to tune some speakers I replaced. I wish I could enjoy the sound system more often. When I am driving I am listening to that glorious V8 and the dreadful "DONG" that something is wrong. The low fuel dong gets me every time!

I have a Audison AP F8.9BIT FORZA. It comes with its own software. I think its called bit one or bit drive. It sounds like the artist and band are on the dash!

Pulled the window tint off the car, can't believe I have been putting that off for so long. It comes off easy once you get it going. Then went for a rip..

It's an APR mustang drag wing, I don't love it, the foil is nice but the mounts are kind of awful. I like that it's a lower setup with an aggressive angle that's adjustable and I thought it looked good on the mustang. I need to figure out some different mounts for it though.

Removed the sticky and refinished my rear console cubby surround and cup holders. Going to remove my seat backs next to refinish the sticky plastic centers.

Bigtriece · 02-09-2021, 08:10 AM

Touched up the powder coat on the wheels a little from the curb rash the PO did. Just used some gloss black touch up paint.

Still trying to figure out what lip and wheels to put on. Debating between GTS and GT4. And ARC-8 or FL-5. Kinda thinking the 18x9.5 et 28 FL-5 in the front with a 5mm spacer and 18x10.5 et 22 in the rear. I really dig the shallow lip in front and a little deeper for the back. But the square 18x10 ARC-8 is hard to beat.

I literally have a browser tab open with a replacement cup holder just waiting to be bought due to scratches... this is like some serious voodoo magic! How?!
