What have you done with or to your M3 today?

M-button just involves taking apart that right side button cluster.

Good time to refinish or replace a faceplate if that soft-touch is peeling

I'm on round 5 of trying to refinish my wheel trim... I have two trims, so when I got a new wheel, I changed the original to the lightly used backup... Well, I scratched the soft touch trying to take out the airbag and didn't realize until after it was reinstalled, so I tried to wrap the other backup in vinyl.... installed and, a few days in the sun two months ago, the wrap starts peeling/warping where the M sticker is located due to its sharp sides... last try this weekend.. spent a long time and sanded the backup down as I watched football, took forever (to me at least). After it was sanded and ready, painted it with flat black paint per the recommendations on here.. some sort of shit got in the wet paint literally seconds later. ruined. I would just pay OEM all day long, but I he damn OEM trim blows.

One of the few draw backs with owning an M3V8 - you can't afford furnitures...

I always feel like I'm a better driver than I actually am. It was a show off fail, for sure.

Not sure, I wouldn't be surprised if it is?

Checked on it in the garage to make sure it was still there. Only gets driven like once every other week

sounds like my e90m3. its making me consider going back to 100% stock and preserving it.

I drove it to the office, then back home. I tried to initiate launch control on one of the dead backroads, I just couldn't get it to go into launch control.

Note - I have done it plenty of times before and I know what you have to do to do it, just wouldn't lock in and hold.

Probably wasn’t on flat enough ground

Probably right, it was flat enough that I didnt move forward or backward in neutral though.

I have had it lock me in launch control when on an incline that in neutral I roll back basically making launch control even a bigger burnout mode than normal.

hah, I'm having the same thoughts although compared to your car I have almost no mods. Considered selling for how little it gets driven, but can't get myself to do it yet.

Crashed NSXPO 2019 at Summit Point Raceway for the last couple days. Was a lot of fun being on track with so many NSX's

Yep, I am. Feel like I've seen your car around the hood.

Thanks... Although now reno has started we're finding little surprises here and there.

Who need furniture. I tried convince my wife a car lift and garage cabinets have higher priority than furniture..... that didn't go well, no idea why
