What have you done with or to your M3 today?

66BM · 11-26-2013, 04:07 PM

Went to the final test and tune before our last race in Savannah, GA this year. 50 and windy. Car loved it. Me, not so much.

IND painted reflectors, before and after... up close, not a huge improvement, but from a little distance I think a MUCH cleaner look!

I've always disagreed with the deflector delete fad. I think your car looked just as good with the orange deflectors, it's just that your "after" pictures with the headlights on and daylight time looked better. Try to photoshop the "after" pictures, it's not the deflector delete that looks better.

We'll agree to disagree.

NOTHING, I have done nothing with my M because it is hibernating until april. Only thing I get to do is read about it.

s4play · 11-27-2013, 01:26 PM

Tried to give my car a bit more colors so added m stripes on my front lip

Law · 11-28-2013, 09:22 PM

Technically yesterday: Akrapovic full evo.
Love the sound.

gazosnic · 11-30-2013, 09:15 AM

Well this week... CIC retrofit, Mdrive & MDM retrofit, ZCP wheels, Replace UCC / CSL exhaust w Stock, LED tail lights

BoilerM · 12-05-2013, 02:45 PM

Eisenmann sport exhaust...exactly what I was looking/hoping for! Also did the M5 shift knob retrofit...so much nicer!

davesaddiction · 12-05-2013, 08:47 PM

Donuts in an empty parking lot, with my three kids in the car!

We got a fine layer of sleet (little ice pellets) today that made the drive home hell, but the few minutes in the parking lot very fun.

Thankful for my winter set (Conti DWS), traction control, and the gentle throttle setting. Also thankful for the button that turns DSC off!

So I see I'm not the only one! To me, the painted reflectors stand out just as much as reflectors unless you are way away from the car. Up close they look way worse... what are those weird patches on your bumper that always seems to be a slightly different color?

My car doesnt have reflectors. What is this you speak of?

pkimM3r · 12-06-2013, 11:40 AM

Checked if my mirrors fold at the same speed.

Confirmed driver side is slower. Time to sell car.

Sell the car and let someone else to live with the horror of asymmetric folding mirrors? You are a monster. The only proper thing to do is kill it for the good of all humanity!
