What have you done with or to your M3 today?

Montaver · 06-09-2018, 11:00 AM

Took a very early morning drive with my buddy in his new Shelby GT350. I can confirm its an absolutely awesome machine. The sounds it makes are an aural symphony of V8 power. Will try and post more pics and a proper comparison when I get the chance, there was a hell of a lot to like about it.

Picked up my new (to me) 2011 ZCP DCT yesterday, and drove from Walnut Creek, CA to Paso Robles via Santa Cruz. Such a great car! Looking forward to today's drive down to San Diego!

Ngilbe36 · 06-09-2018, 12:48 PM

Gave her a deep exterior clean.
Stripped, IronX, clay bar, light polish, ceramic coating, and sealant.

Timujin · 06-09-2018, 03:11 PM

Unlocked the drivers door, opened it and looked inside 😁 Closed the door, locked it and walked away😘

duk · 06-09-2018, 03:16 PM

Drove her after 2 weeks of not driving her lol

Put around 28 miles on her

ItsGary · 06-09-2018, 03:54 PM

Realized how boring it is to own a car when you don't really have maintenance stuff left to do on it

Washed and waxed with Klasse... Sucks when you notice all the blemishes... FU Saskatchewan gravel BS!!!

XKxRome0ox · 06-10-2018, 02:52 AM

took the new-to-me e90m3 out to play with other cars at a car meet
even though it's bone stock, it got plenty of attention
several people were checking it out and talking to me about the car

went and bought a set of 513m wheels
now to figure out the tire situation

PACarGuy · 06-10-2018, 08:47 AM

Bought, claybarred, polished and installed a replacement SG Metallic fuel door from deansbimmer because some knucklehead dinged my original one. Great match and great condition.
Back to her beautiful self again.

ItsGary · 06-11-2018, 12:08 AM

Did the GTS Trans Flash myself today. So much nicer.

Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. There's no other choice.

Replaced a rear speed sensor and washed all the pollen off my car! It was bad, I hadn't washed or moved my car much for 3 months.

Timujin · 06-13-2018, 02:23 AM

Installed new trunk and hood support struts.

I gotta do that. Plus replace my DCT pan now.

Question, do I gotta replace that suction part also with the pan or no?

Suction filter should be replaced.

I know the filter but what about that suction piece itself?

of course
i had the 4S on my old wheels and loved them

the only issue was trying to figure out the optimal sizing
i'm going with 245/40/18 + 275/35/18
they're pretty darn close according to the online calculators
instead of the 255/40/18 + 275/40/18 that come stock on these for the f80

Can you post a picture of what you're talking about? The filter itself comes with integrated "casing", so that's all you need.
