What have you done with or to your M3 today?

[XKxRome0ox]

i'm hearing this BUZZING noise toward the end of my commute drive
not at cold start and only after it's fully warmed up

it can only be heard at idle
but it's pretty loud
and it is coming from somewhere behind the dash and in the engine bay

when i accelerate, noise goes away
when i open the hood, the noise goes away

I was at a loss, checked the bottom of the box and there were the end links that came with the ST XTAs, *facepalm* lol. Pups came over to help at some point after taking a dip in the pool, nothing like grease and water everywhere. Drove it 100+ miles following, rides a smidge rougher but I was expecting worse. Handling feels great, have them set half way between full hard and full soft. No odd noises yet, knock on wood! Didn't get a pic after installation since I still have my 220M wheels installed, gotta get a tire patched so I can get my set of Work wheels on there. Hopefully will be installed mid week and I'll follow up with some pics!
Not sure why the pics are rotated. Not going to attempt to fix it either, just deal with it haha.

How do you adjust softness?

Is that bamboo with wood trim? Total supercar looks.

hey
my sedan is black


Also locally to me the only thing on sale right now are verts, and a lot of them have been on the market for months or since last year. I think its someones last choice but like you said general public(Mainly boomers) would pick a Vert over a Coupe or a obviously a Sedan, but the production numbers show that the Vert wasn't as desirable when this car was new.

also congrats to the first owners who spent 30k on a heavier car

You can adjust the rebound using the the knob that they supply at the top of each strut. Settings go from 0-16, 0 being full soft and 16 being full hard. I had EDC prior to these, only complaint is I didn't like pushing the button to stiffen the ride, and without EDC active the ride was too soft. Now the ride is stiffer, but not too stiff all the time. Just how I wanted it, also a solid bit lower in the front and rear, finally dont look like a monster truck haha

Silly me... finally brought the beast out and got to work and drained the oil. Only to realize that I had the wrong damn oil filter, lol. Ah well, at least it'll be nicely drained overnight!

I did this before. took me almost 10qts to get the low oil warning to go away.

Finally got rubber for the Rays. 275/295 30 19. Wheels are 9.5 & 10.5 widths et25 with PS4 fronts and PSS rears.

Currently running stock spec PS2s. Broke them loose in the wet heh heh heh.

[JP10]

Dropping my tire off to be patched this morning. Hoping I can pick it back up later today, mount my set of wheels and get my suspension adjusted later tonight! So much excitement woot!! Hopefully I'll get some pics on here tonight or tomorrow!

I hit 140k KMs the other day which is 86.9K Miles, coincidentally I bought the car with 86.9k KMs back in 2017

From the looks around this forum, all this baby needs is some good ole maintenance and she will growl all the way passed 100k! Makes me less worried about driving my car as much!

[Scharbag]

Gave her a wash on the weekend. Turned out nice.

I am digging the slightly darker silver on my refinished ZCP wheels.

Then I drove it around beautiful Victoria. Just a glorious way to spend the day.

And I was the last post on page 420!!! Far out doode!!

Nice! Where'd you get the first aid kit?

[JP10]

Got my summer wheels installed with the new set of coilovers, really happy with the fitment and adjustability of the ST XTAs. Taking her to the shop tomorrow for alignment, it was dark by time I got them mounted and did a test drive so pics to come tomorrow!

Grabbed a few pics last night as well as some this morning. Don't mind the dirty car, I'll get to a wash here soon! Sorry about the picture size, not sure how to adjust on my phone. No signs of rubbing as of yet, alignment to come tonight. Currently pulling slightly to the right. Enjoy!

[Aries326]

Got my KW HAS kit installed. Macht Schnell Spacers 15 mm front and 12mm installed. IND Black chrome side grills installed. Spark plugs changed.
