Just picked up first E90 M3 6MT
After selling my last E92 M3 about a year ago, I was on the hunt for my desired spec E90 M3.
It took me a year, but I settled on "close enough" My search was for an 09+ LCI E90 M3, 6MT, Slicktop, No Nav, No EDC, manual speed cloth, a stripper in Alpine White, or Melbourne Red. Basically the fewer options, the better. I found this car in Texas and immediately knew it was as close as I was going to get and didn't want to wait any longer. It had everything I was looking for except no speed cloth but damn near my dream spec. Scheduled a PPI with the buyer(PPI mechanic said it looked and drove like it had 600 miles and not 60k), money wired, 5 days later and it's here. Shout outs to Montway and Professional Auto Transport, amazing companies with fantastic follow up and super accurate shipping times. I was originally looking for enclosed but they said it could possibly take a few weeks to book and I was impatient, plus I saved a few hundred going open. The car arrived in perfect condition, she just needs a good wash as lots of bugs hitched a ride on her journey from TX to CA. Last edited by DanMpower; 07-09-2020 at 01:17 AM.. |

My two previous E92 M3s, both DCT. While the DCT transmission is absolutely brilliant, I knew I wanted my next E9x car to be a 6MT after finding out the Autosolutions shifter can fix that rubber box.
Link to my "build" thread on my previous E92s. https://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1532679 Also if curious, here is my maintenance/restoration thread for my E39 M5 over on M5board. https://www.m5board.com/threads/new-...to-her.602834/ Last edited by DanMpower; 07-09-2020 at 11:54 AM.. |

Took a trip out to Lake Forest to meet the famous Malek at MRF Engineering for rod bearing service. I'm really OCD with my cars and I have trust issues with who works on them, it seems Malek is really thorough and meticulous so I felt better leaving my car with him. It also helped that he has several hundred of these jobs under his belt.
Arrived bright and early for 1-day service, left the car to cool before he showed up. Fantastic service and finished earlier than anticipated. Glad I had the RB service done, a couple of them already had exposed copper, good thing Malek said my crank journals were still perfect. Got the standard MRF special Clevite/Mahle Extra Clearance MRF spec bearings ARP connecting rod bolt set New motor mounts LiquiMoly 10w60 Oil Change Power steering fluid flush/exchange Coolant flush/exchange 4 wheel alignment Last edited by DanMpower; 07-21-2020 at 07:58 PM.. |

Got a great deal on a Corsa E90 system from a forum member, only a couple thousand miles!
Everything people said about this system paired with test pipes/x-pipe on the forum is true. Perfect volume, no drone, and it has a very unique exotic sound to it. Unfortunately the part about people saying it's ugly as sin is also true. I'll definitely need to upgrade the tips eventually. Last edited by DanMpower; 07-10-2020 at 10:41 PM.. |

Wow, I've heard of the N55 guys replacing the plastic valve cover when addressing a valve cover leak when replacing the valve cover gasket, but replacing the valve cover on the S65 is a first.
