Update on feel after rod bearing replacement.
Engine absolutely idles / revs more smoothly. This service definitely added some 5 series DNA to the car. The more I think about it the more I'm happy I got it done, and thankful to have Malek do the job. I will take pics of next oil change, I anticipate the metal flakes will be a thing of the past. Also, here might be a quick way to tell if your engine mounts are shot (aside from having a noticeably rougher ride): Notice the gap between these 2 pieces Old Engine Mounts Its hard to notice, but the gap is bigger, you can fit a finger in the gap now. Definitely not scientific but its something to look for New Engine Mounts Next mod will probably be replacing the front felt pieces in the undercarriage with the metal plate. Trying to decide between the Turner plates and the one I saw on these forums before from Deansbimmer. My current ones are so destroyed its embarrassing. |

Ya and the phone name that was linked to the car was ‘Baby Doll’s iPhone’. For some reason I don’t think someone who names themselves Baby Doll warms up their car properly.

Yours look pretty good, but I also need them to be fairly quiet (no squealing and such). Reading the thread, it sounds like yours have an interesting sound. |

Here's some more goodies:
I was playing around with PS after Arash's edit and removed all the random legal lettering on the tires. Looks so much more clean like that. Btw whatever weird factory coating was on those PS4S' is finally gone and it takes tire dressing better now. I love love love the PS4S. Especially ever since it started raining in SoCal. They feel so good. Noticeable difference compared to PSS. And of course the holy grail of M3's (I swear my page is half filled with Malek's car) |

Congrats on the boards and the baby.
Get the biggest vehicle you can get. At least X5 size. That little guy will take up a TON of space. Might as well pop another 1-2 kids out to get it over with, but then you're looking at a van. Rear facing baby seats and 3rd rows in SUV's are a TERRIBLE combo. We call the van the kids car since we both have our own cars too. Did you get VibraTechnic engine mounts? They seem to hold up better than OEM but a TINY bit of vibration, only if you're looking for it. Have you considered a high kick spoiler? I think the car needs it to balance the front spoiler. Keep us updated. .

Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."

+1 for the deansbimmer front under tray. Had it installed on mine old E90M3 when I had the AC compressor bearing fail on my cross country drive and towed the car from Oak Ridge, TN to McKinney, TX to get the work done.
