What have you done with or to your M3 today?

omgzirra_exe · 06-15-2021, 12:21 PM

car decided to eat the lower part of my passenger front fender liner for breakfast.

We have all seen videos of these bad crashes on Nürburgring Nordschleife due to coolant spray on the track. That's why I changed old coolant hoses to high quality racing (five layers of Swedish armory!) do88 coolant hoses. My M3 E92 is from 2010 so it was a time. First test on track: success!

Ubersmooth · 06-15-2021, 04:34 PM

So last week the differential grenaded at 147k. Getting ready to order a diff from bimmerworld, left rear axle, and a driveshaft. Looking for an Mfactory carbon driveshaft as it retains the guibo and should keep NVH down, but damn it's a long wait for one and not sure I want the M3 down for the entire summer. Decisions decisions…

My parents still living in Wisconsin, sent my plates out to SoCal where I'm at. Now I don't have to pay the expensive yearly registration and no bi-yearly smog.

until some neighbor narcs on you. it's definitely a thing in chicago.

That would be my luck. The area I'm in is all HOA liberals.

would not surprise me at all here in CA, also, if you have a CA drivers license and you get stopped they will nail you for living here and not registering the car here within 30 days.

JPWEraser · 06-15-2021, 06:50 PM

Finally traded out my plate. KY's process is garbage and took about 3 months longer than OH's did.

Have to apply online and get a response back that the plate has been approved. This took 4 months. Then you have to go to the clerks office and hand them a printed copy of your approval email, pay an order fee and only then do they order the plate. You also have to pay the fee to have a regular plate while you wait on your custom plate to arrive. This took 6 weeks. They send you an email stating that the plate has arrived. You have to go to the clerks office again, hand them a copy of the arrival email, and pay another fee to take your new plate.

Ohio took maybe 6 weeks total and was all done via the Internet.

Holy shit, that is ridiculous!! Alabama is a breeze by comparison, as we can check for the tag availability online, then just order it (either online or in person) and it usually shows up in 3 weeks. No drama, but it is $75 a year on top of the tag fees. I have had mine on all 4 of the M's I have owned since 2001.

Vedubin01 · 06-15-2021, 10:43 PM

finally got around to coating my own set of valve covers to match my BBK kit I did last year sometime. I think they came out quite good but a lot of extra time was put into them to get them as smooth as they came out. Cant wait to get them installed to see how they look inside the engine bay.

I do have a set of Crinkle Red Covers I just finished at the same time up for sale. HMU if interested.

XKxRome0ox · 06-16-2021, 05:23 PM

i'm running F80 513m wheels
18x9, et 29
18x10, et 40 with 18mm spacers

have been using Michelin PS4S
245/40/18
275/35/18

had ordered the same sizes in Continental ECS but the rears went from having a 2 week delivery time to backordered
so looking at diff sizes

245/40/18 + 265/40/18 (stock E90 sizing on 219m wheels which are 1/2 inch skinnier)
255/40/18 + 265/40/18 ???
255/40/18 + 275/40/18 (stock F80 sizing)

what to do?
looking at the photo, i think i can go taller especially in the rear
so leaning toward the 255 + 275 combo

Asianoak · 06-16-2021, 09:34 PM

Got her detailed by a professional for the first time.

How do you know your car is well cared for?

When the detailer calls you less than halfway through the 7 hour quoted time saying it's done cause he ran out of things to do. Wound up only charging me for a basic wash.

Sold my car yesterday... went to a good home (i hope). Bitter sweet...

Feeding time for a quick Morning drive to Starbucks!!

Bigtriece · 06-20-2021, 08:51 AM

Installed POM GTS1 and ARC-8's this week.

Reconsidering whether I should have got a GT4 instead.

Also considering coils now that I went from 19" to 18".

You did it man. 18s with 15mm spacers. The ride is a lot better with 18s right?
