Installed the Mr12Volt CarPlay today on my 2013 M3 and my buddies 11 E90 Comp, install went pretty easy once we got the hang of it. Took us an hour and a half on my car while closely following instructions/YouTube and then the second install in 25 mins. Definitely super cool, not sure if its worth the full $420ish price but I am very happy to have CarPlay. It really updates the car and its significantly better looking at idrive for Waze than down at my phone holder near the gear selector.
Got it off Gordon Hui on Facebook and he was 11/10 to work with. |

Took the M3 out to Lime Rock Park this week! Had an absolute blast at the FCP Euro proving grounds autocross. M3 did amazing, it ran super cool and didn't skip a beat. It was raining so I ended up having a little fun sliding the car, first time I've ever "drifted" and the M3 did it with ease. Here's a link to a YouTube video of me sliding around:

BBS RIA
Big day today! Picked up a like new set of BBS RI-A's in gold!!! Absolutely stoked about these, love how they look on the Jerez paint. 18x10 et 25 front 18x11 et37 rear, 265/35/18 295/30/18 Michelin PS4S's, no spacer front 12.5 spacer rear, lowered on Eibach springs on EDC. Would love it slightly lower but honestly very happy/it looks the same gaps as my 359 19x10 setup and zero rubbing. The 219M's with spacers rubbed a lot in the front so very happy that these BBS don't rub and are significantly wider.

End of June 2024 update.
Car has been great! Got 2 new tires for the rear with a taller profile (30->35, speedometer was super off and was annoying me and it looks better imo)
Had an 02 sensor go bad but that's been the first and only hiccup with the car. At 78,500 miles as of today! 11 months of ownership and 10,500 miles. |

The album is amazing btw! Keep it up! I saw you mentioned getting edc coilovers. I'm at 32k miles and am putting dinan springs with shaved front/rear top mounts and bump stops. Down the line when the shocks give, I was thinking the same evolve Bilsteins as you. You can look into the MSS adjustable springs as that will run with those dampers. Is yours a zcp? If not, you can also code the zcp damper settings via ista. |

the evolve bilstein + mss does seem quite expensive to me, been thinking ohlins r&t maybe at 100k+ miles. I'll have to look into the zcp damper settings via ista! Any links? Def want to do that!!! Mine is not a ZCP but the first owner optioned with edc and 19 inch 220 wheels, wish it was a zcp! My window sticker is like 79k too and that doesn't even include ZCP. I've seen normal ZCP loaded stickers of high 70's but my car had some odd choices lol. |

Vermont July 4th trip m3 pics
Wanted to share pics of my E92 on some roads up near Stowe VT over the past weekend. Swapped to my set of 219M wheels (didn't want the possibility of chipping or scratching my BBS RIA's, prob would've been fine in hindsight)
E92 did great, didn't skip a beat with a full trunk and multiple passengers! Clicked over 79k miles on the trip, coming up close to 1 year and I've done ~11k miles. Here are the pics: |

Alex@alpine did the coding for the zcp settings. I'm also running his servotronics and GTS DTC tune You're right, MSS and evolve dampers will be expensive but it maintains EDC, it all depends on how much you value that convenience |

Paint Corrected the M3 this past weekend.
Finally paint corrected the Jerez Black paint on my M3. Something I've wanted to do since I got it almost a year ago. Ended up talking to a ton of people and I love washing my car so I took the deep dive into learning how to polish a car for the first time...
Watched a lot of Obsessed Garage videos and he recently started carrying a new brand of polisher called Liquid Elements and he said it was great for beginners and I can also agree with that. Was super balanced and I had great luck with it. I got the L.E. 5in and 1in, really didn't even need the 1in besides the A pillars and some spots on the front bumper/trunk but wouldn't have really noticed otherwise. My car is all original paint besides some touch up on the rear bumper which I was told by prior owner was right before I got the car and I still can't tell even where that would've been, he tried pointing it out and gave me all the documentation and I can't see it. Luckily not on carfax. Lots of other little spots on the car... but it is 11 years old at this point so can't nit pick too hard. Products used: Griots fast correcting cream on a microfiber ropes pad as the cut, sonax perfect finish on a foam rupes pad. Finished with Gyeon pure evo ceramic coating. About 16ish hours starting Friday night and ending Sunday night, insanely hot weekend here in CT... next time will definitely not be in July. Overall it is a massive night and day difference, incredibly happy with how it turned out!!! It's not 100% perfect in all areas but I'd give it a 9/10 now. 8/10 if you count some rock chips LOL. For my first time ever polishing anything... 10/10 LOL I think I'll prob come back at it next spring to get it to that near perfect, maybe respray the front end at the same time but for now it looks great and no more swirls. Pics are a before of swirls and an after. |

Did some stuff recently! Some boring stuff... spark plugs, cabin air filters and a exciting Dinan Intake!
Very happy with the new intake! Posted some clips on YouTube: |
