What Did Your M3 Get For Christmas?

[old///MFanatic]

So what did your M3 get this holiday season? Or is getting?

An ESS 580 and a new vanity plate… will share when it arrives!

One of these but it's going to be weeks till I have it in hand 😅

I actually spoiled the RS3 this Black Friday, all said and done I think it was around 7 grand... Meanwhile the M3 sits lonely in the corner under a cover. 😢

Big brakes, intercooler & boost pipes, suspension bits, braces, and PCU.

Shit adds up quick!

Turner monoball fcabs…ship date March 2026 though

I think I'm 12k into the M5 this year so the M3 got spent on a little less.

That's okay though, it went through 4 engines and has cost me over 30k in parts and labor in 5 years so I think we're square.

It got newer door cards, steering wheel, trim, center console, and a P3 gauge.

Four engines in five years? How does that even happen?

Christmas came a little early with the Black Friday deals, but since December she's got an Eventuri intake, Whiteline FCABs, 034 Motorsport Densitiy line rubber engine mounts, and Fuller's steering shaft. The stock rubber bushings/mounts I replaced were at least 15 years old. I have the Condor / Syncro Design spherical RTABs as well that I still need to install.

An F8X BBK conversion, H&R lowering springs, and some spacers!

[Cubieman]

Welded strut tower cracks and FCAB timesert, only the fun stuff this year.

[Hammerfang]

Gift cards to ECS!

I usually try to find a deal on something every year, but sometimes it goes to the F30 instead of the E46. This year I've got a stack of stuff going on.

Ohlins R&T, new Meyle HD rear topmounts, SPL front endlinks, aluminum subframe bushings, new metal valve stems for the EC7s, expanded bimmerworld RACP plates, and who knows what else is coming in process of doing the rear end refresh.

Grabbed a TMS CSL intake last month when it hit 35% off (still is!) which is in the pile already. Ordered the last of a handful of small parts to start the rod bearing replacement when I'm back in town next week. Hoping to knock a bunch of projects out over the next 2-3 months. Some day I'll start a build journal thread.
