What have you done with or to your M3 today?

nawktrebor · 02-08-2025, 06:06 PM

Got the required smog check done in preparation for registration.

Latinskllz · 02-11-2025, 06:44 PM

Towed to MPorium for rod bearing service before transport to CO.

Smithynigel · 02-14-2025, 09:47 PM

Alcon BBK fitted along with GAS monoballs and new control arms.

CamasM3e93 · 02-15-2025, 07:57 AM

Installed a pre-filter. Tag RocketyMan

vitalsigns · 02-15-2025, 08:24 AM

^^a filter for a filter. Is that supposed to reduce the frequency of cleaning/replacement of the filter?

Lol, points taken.

The prefilter will keep larger debris out and make it easier to clean the filter. Also, the oil soaked fabric filters are a little more variable in quality, sometimes allowing passby. Adding the pre filter makes the combo approximate the quality of a paper filter but better air flows over a longer timeframe. Maybe.

Johnny E92 · 02-15-2025, 07:01 PM

Not much to actually see but the following future proofing all done:

NRW valve covers, c/w grommet kit, silicon throttle body to plenum fittings and billet spark plug tubes.

UK Rebuilt throttle actuators

MPorium bolt on Vanos covers (the only way to go in my opinion)

Other items like service, new tyres, new battery radiator hoses etc.

Rod bearings have been done previously, so hopefully all future proofed now to enjoy for many years to come.

For anyone in Brisbane Australia, I can highly recommend ‘Prestige & Performance’ who did all this work and all previous work.

letsgopaddle · 02-16-2025, 09:44 PM

Made a carbon hood. Maintains full OEM functionality. Weight loss was the primary goal, so aesthetics are not perfect by any means. I couldn't find a weight online for the existing available E90 options so I assumed the worst (ie heavier than stock).

Finished weight: 8.90lb.

Having done it I don't recommend, lol.

I suppose this will help additionally.

falken tires for summer tracking. Look great in person. Mounting tires then throwing them on when its not raining

Looks good

Make sure you post up what you think of the Alcon’s as I’m considering them as the next thing on my ‘bucket list’.

Did you go with the 380mm ones all round?

Cheers
