UPDATE #8: Cutting It Close: A Satirical On My Future Career As A Meteorologist


Hey everyone and welcome back to my journal!

I am usually a very proactive person, but let me tell you that this time, I was unprepared. Unprepared to ruin the preserved title that Luna would theoretically have under my ownership of her only seeing the best weather conditions.

This update takes place in Late November 2023.



Luna’s First Snowfall?


Having just finished the extensive restoration and protective job on Project Luna, followed by the documentary and roller shots, I was ready to bring Luna back home. The only thing: It is the end of November and the meteorologists were calling for scattered flurries majority of the week…woe is me.

The day I was picking the car up, was actually the day that it was supposed to lightly snow. I quickly arranged with Steven@Elevated Auto to pick the car up as early as possible, as the snow was projected to fall at noon.

The roads were clear, no salt brine whatsoever, and I picked up Project Luna, filled her up, and safely drove her back home.








What’s funny is that it did not end up snowing that day, and the next day looked clear.
So having just picked up the car, and not really getting to enjoy it before storage, I decided to take her out for a nice drive the following day.

Everything was great, the roads were clear, I took it to a couple areas around my neighbourhood, and then it was getting late so I decided to head back home.












As I was close to arriving back home, I realized I needed to get Fuel Stabilizer from our local automotive store, Canadian Tire. I then rerouted myself to the store and noticed as I got there that it was really dark, very windy, and the clouds were rolling in — all the signs of a storm. How could this be? I trusted the meteorologists earlier this week; sure they were wrong about there being snow yesterday, but today was clear skies…how could they mistake that for a snowfall?









Well my anxiety started to kick in. I quickly got the Fuel Stabilizer, put it in the gas tank, fueled up one last time to mix it, and then dashed my way back home.

I pull onto my street, I am less than 100 meters away from the house, and spamming the garage door opener button. Tell me as I am pulling into the driveway, a blizzard starts?!

At this point, I love entertaining the idea of being a meteorologist; you can be right 30% of the time and still keep your job!

You could argue that under my ownership, the preserved title is tarnished; Project Luna has seen snow, and factually you would be correct. But give me a mulligan for the 10 seconds that snow was falling onto Luna in my driveway.




Concluding Thoughts


Thank-you all for your continuous support with both my Youtube Channel and my journal here on M3Post.


Stay tuned for next update, where I start brainstorming wheels for Luna.

UPDATE #9: Does This Count As A Modification?


Hey everyone and welcome back to my journal!

My goal with Project Luna is to maintain and preserve its originality as best as possible. This means NO aftermarket (including M-Performance and GTS) parts will go on the car. So far, I can proudly say that I have fulfilled this goal. Keep in mind the Mag Blue OG Volk TE37s are only being borrowed from my E90 racecar (Project Sky), until that car is ready…then I’ll swap the OEM 220M wheels back…or will I? Could a new set of wheels see Project Luna?

This update takes place in December 2023.



Unpopular Opinion: Wheels Are An “Enhancement”


Grab your tomatoes and pitchforks. Yes, you read the header right…I believe changing the wheels on your car is NOT a modification, but rather an enhancement. What are your thoughts on that bold statement?

As mentioned above, there will be a time in the future when the TE37s go back to their home on Project Sky, and Project Luna will sport the 220Ms again.

I do not like the 220Ms. Sure it is nice that they are 19 inches and fill out the fenders, but I am not a fan of their design. They are also a pain to clean with all the spokes, especially with the middle gap in each spoke.

With that being said, I am entertaining the idea of getting new wheels for the car and am undecided which ones to go with. To be clear, there is no budget restrictions. I am happy securing my dream wheels for this car, and will not change them out once acquired.

My criteria for the search is as follows:
  • Forged
  • 19-Inch
  • Baller-Spec
  • Blend between Stance and Track (No Stretched Tires, Not Too Meaty, Not Too Low Profile)
  • Uncommon
  • Silver or Matte Silver Finish
Having said that, I have narrowed it down to what I believe are the frontrunners with some, if not all, of the criteria above. I have even captured the Instagrams of the owners, for photocredit and following purposes:

BBS LM on Obsessed Studios E36:








HRE 540R on silverstoned_E92 Cade's E92:








HRE R101 on silverstoned_E92 Cade's E92:










HRE 501 on Narvin’s E92:


















BBS E88 Race Pocket on Sean’s E92:










BBS RIA on Shocotaro’s E92:










BBS RIA (Gold) on m3mcb’s E92:












OEM Competition on ka370M3’s E92:












Now that you have seen all the wheels I am interested in, let me know which you think would look best on Project Luna. I am personally leaning towards HRE as a whole. I love the brand, and the logo. It is extremely elegant, classy, and commands excellence.

More specifically, I love the HRE 501s on Narvin’s car, but would get them in a matte silver finish. I think that would hide the ugly OEM brakes and give a classy and retro look. I do also like the HRE R101s on Cade's car…that 5 spoke design stays winning…however, I do not and will not get a BBK on this car…so that deters me from opting for those.

I asked my family which are their favourites, here's what they said:
  • Sister: HRE R101s
  • Dad: BBS E88s or LMs
  • Mom: OEM 220Ms (Doesn't like me spending money on cars lol)



Concluding Thoughts


Thank-you all for your continuous support with both my Youtube Channel and my journal here on M3Post.
Stay tuned for next update, Project Luna faces 2 small issues.

I’d strongly recommend the R101LW in brushed dark clear (DBC). It changes color with lighting just like Moonstone. I’ve linked a video showing how Moonstone and DBC look as you walk around the car.

FYI, I had to sell my Moonstone f82 (and my AW/FR e92 M3 and my r56 silver white Cooper S Camden) due to medical problems. The Moonstone was supposed to be my forever car

I'm a fan of the RI-A - I have them on my car, and when it comes time to get a second set so I'm not driving my track tires on the street, I'll likely get another set. They're light and affordable for what they are, and come in a great variety of sizes that fit the E92 (18x10 ET25, 18x10.5 ET25, 18x10.5 ET22, and 18x11 ET37 - as well as a fitment that works for square setup with spacers on F8x). There is also a "blue black" finish that I want - though I'll likely just end up getting another set of Diamond Silver (also known as matte gray, if I don't clean my wheels for a week).

If you're solely looking for 19" options though, the RI-D is probably the most baller option you can get. They won't do much to hide the OEM brakes, but they're one of the lightest options - 17.4 lb for the 19x10 if I recall correctly. They are also made of duralumin, instead of the forged alu for the RI-A. Just a very, very steep cost - but you do get what you pay for.

Knowing you though - if you for whatever reason decide to go chasing a rabbit hole of grail NLA wheels, the iND / RKP BBS FI (18") and BBS FI (19", not the FI-R) would suit the car amazingly as well.

Duralumin is just 2000 series aluminum which has a higher copper content. It was once widely used in the aerospace industry but it’s a Table III material (highest susceptibility) when it comes to stress corrosion cracking. 7075-T7351 has been used in its place for quite sometime now. I’ve seen complex parts machined from 2024-T62 that literally failed from just supporting their own weight. A table III material must have sustained stress levels < 30% of the yield strength. It requires special waivers and additional detailed stress analyses to be able to use a table III material. Aluminum 7050-T7451 was classified incorrectly as being a table III material but is used when parts have to be machined from plates > 3”-thick (3-6”) because 7075-T7351 has too much residual stress in the middle of a plate > 3”-thick. 7050-T7451 is widely used but it’s extremely expensive. High strength aluminums tend to have low/poor elongation (ductility) in the short transverse (ST) direction.

The HRE R101LW 19x9.5et22 weighs 16.6 lbm and the 19x11et42 weighs 17.4 lbm. The RI-A and FI-R are awesome looking wheels. IMO, the RI-A looks better on an e9X M3 than the FI-R. I wonder at times why popular wheels are discontinued by manufacturers when theres still demand for them. Does BBS manufacture a discontinued wheel if an owner damages a wheel(s) and is in need of a replacement(s)?

I wasn't aware about Duralumin's properties - that's interesting to know. There's a bit of confidence that if BBS is building it and it passes JWL standards, it's likely safe for a wheel - but still definitely interesting to know.

I did see that the R101LW is especially light (though a fair arm and leg to get ahold of), and I do agree on the RI-A vs FI-R. I've never been a huge fan of the FI-R - it doesn't seem to flow with the lines of the E92 very well, especially with the cutouts inside the spokes. I'm not sure about BBS's post-sales standards but I haven't seen many mentions about the old, non-R FI lately.

edit: god damn M3SQRD every time I see your Moonstone F82 it makes me wish I wasn't in middle school when the E92 was still in production so I could've ordered an individual lmao

Don, I am sorry to hear about the unfortunate medical issues that have come about. Health is wealth. I hope that you get the opportunity to be reunited with the car or a better one in the future. Those R101LWs are too nice!

Thank-you bipp ! You have always supported me, and I will keep my eyes peeled for those NLA iND/RKP BBS FI 18s!

Lots of great info Don, thank-you for sharing.







UPDATE #10: Vibrations And A Lecture


Hey everyone and welcome back to my journal!

Winter has finished and Project Luna is finally out of storage. My eagerness to drive Luna was short-lived…find out shortly.

This update takes place in April 2024.



Problem #1: The Rumble-strip Effect


I have been anxiously awaiting taking out Project Luna. She’s been nestled for over 4 months and is ready to stretch her legs.









My first few drives of the 2024 season were super enjoyable. I really love the E9X platform, especially with a very low mileage example. I struggle with the thought of driving it, A part of me wants to drive it all the time and evoke only the greatest driving emotions possible…after all, this is the ultimate driving machine. The other part of me still wants to maintain it as a low mileage example...I am not saving it for anyone, but love the prestige of having a low mileage example years down the road that only gets used on special occasions...#FirstWorldProblems.

Anyways, upon these early drives of the 2024 season, I started noticing on the highway that at cruising and accelerating speeds, the car had some noticeable vibrations from the steering wheel and was pulling sideways when trying to drive straight.

I took Luna to my friends at Touge Tuning for them to diagnose on their alignment rack. It was clear that the alignment was off. We quickly got that all fixed and I was on my way.















Problem #2: An Earful From My Old Man


Project Luna enjoys the luxuries of being garage-kept at all times. Having just taken her out of winter storage and enjoying her youthfulness stature, my dad quickly noticed an issue. I had just left the house to go for an evening drive, and he was about to mow the lawn. He pulls the lawn mower out of the garage, but notices a small puddle of what looked to be some sort of liquid at the front of where my car is usually parked. Keep in mind, my family are not car people…this liquid could have been oil or coolant. I had a mild heart attack when I heard this, especially since I had the oil changed by but noticed my oil levels held strong on the electronic dashboard monitoring system…so what could it be?

When I took Luna to Touge Tuning for the alignment, I mentioned to the team to inspect the leak underneath the front section of the car. I also phoned the guy who has helped me so many times, including discovering and securing Project Luna, my friend, Alex Carr (M3Post Member: "acarr6acarr6). Given Alex’s extensive experience of owning an E92 M3, I trusted him to communicate to the Touge Tuning team what it might be. Collectively, we found that the DCT was leaking/sweating…a common issue for DCT cars. In the near future, I will have Total Motor Werkes perform the servicing and replacement with an OEM unit.

Very special thank-you to Alex, and the Touge Tuning team for helping with both the alignment and the DCT leak.

Here is a picture of the leak:











Concluding Thoughts


Thank-you all for your continuous support with both my Youtube Channel and my journal here on M3Post.
Next update I will be showcasing some life moments with Project Luna.

UPDATE #11: Be A Person Of Your Word


Hey everyone and welcome back to my journal!

Been really enjoying Project Luna lately! The novelty of owning this car holds stronger than ever.

This update takes place in April 2024.



A Promise Is A Promise


It is Christmas Day 2023, I am at the dinner table with my immediate and extended family. My cousin Nick (Nicholas) leans over to me and says, “Alexander, when you take the E92 out next year, I want to be one of the first people to drive it.” I proudly smiled and told him, “Say less buddy, we will make that happen.”

Fast forward to the first weekend of April 2024, it was the perfect weather to spend time with my family and take the car out. I phoned my sister Steph and Nick who live nearby each other and made a nice afternoon seeing them both. I first picked up Steph at her downtown Toronto condo, and then we were off to get Nick:







Nick secured, and testing the driver seat out:











Nick and his younger brother Matthew love cars. Their father (my uncle), John, got them into cars at a young age, given his love for automobiles. He has primarily owned Audis, but loves Porsche, BMW, and anything functional. His past couple cars have been Audi S4s (with the former car being a B8 S4), and his current car being a B9 S4. Nick got his license not too long ago, and practices on his dad’s B9 S4, so I definitely trust him operating my baby.

After taking Nick and Steph for a ride around his neighbourhood showing him the basics of the E92 and how everything works with the DCT transmission, we headed back to his house to get Matthew.








Nick and I then switched seats, while Steph hopped out to hang out for a bit with our aunt and uncle, and let Matthew go in the back for a cruise.

Enjoy some quick Youtube shorts of him driving the car and giving it some “juice”

https://youtube.com/shorts/qJMqDYGmL0U?feature=share

https://youtube.com/shorts/ZzpW2vBOAUM?feature=share



Afterwards, we headed back to Nick's house, dropped him off, and then headed out with Steph back to the downtown core for a nice dinner with our parents.
I had prime parking practically in front of the restaurant on the main strip, which was nice; and yes, I made Steph cross the street to take these two pictures of me in the car:








The next morning (Sunday), I decided to take my mom to church…or wait, I mean let her take me to church with Project Luna. She is not a car person, and after suffering a bad accident over 10 years ago, she has never been the same both driving and being a passenger in a car. She was beyond hesitant when I handed her the keys, and even said, “We are either going to take my car or we are not going to church anymore.” I reassured her everything would be fine, and that even though it is a sports car, it has a basic driving mode where the car operates like a normal vehicle…that definitely helped. She hopped in and we were off.

https://youtube.com/shorts/n08HWiYILGI?feature=share




We safely arrived to church and had a nice time being thankful for all life has given us, and praying for brighter days for our friends, family, and others.










Concluding Thoughts


Thank-you all for your continuous support with both my Youtube Channel and my journal here on M3Post.
Stay tuned for next update where Luna is caught breaking necks and gets a new pilot behind the wheel.

The pressure filter cap o-ring on the DCT will flatten out over time even on low mileage cars. Probably a function of age and material choice. It will allow about a tablespoon of DCT fluid to leak out when you first start the car until it warms up and the o-ring swells. This accumulates on the inside of the cover and eventually drips onto the floor.
