What did you do for your M3 today?

Had fresh tint installed by L0okitzRaj and his team at Unique Auto Films. Now folks can get a good 👀 at the M-texture from the outside

So I had a couple of gremlins hanging around in my 2006 vert:
1. trunk seemed slightly misaligned, left and right corner not even, sometimes the trunk doesn't latch immediately, and felt loose (not sure how to explain this, as trunk on my previous one had a "heavy" thud when closing.
2. going over bumps I had a sqeak, I could not put my finger on it, thought some bolt was loose or maybe worst case subframe.

Well, today I figured out both !!!!
1. trunk latch was loose !!!!! I tightened both screws and its back to normal, alignment and thuddiness 😂
2. posted this a while back, one of the trunk supports was missing a rubber cover which I replaced with one from a new bleeder. The metal bolt under the rubber was rubbing against the trunk causing the annoying squeal !!!! I told my kids the sqeal is gone, but why??? this is why !!!!

I finally got around to mounting the Turner urethane front lip that I had picked up a few months ago and painted myself. Looks great but getting out of my driveway unscathed is a challenge at times.

Looks good. I want to add a front lip to mine, any comments on fitment or install?

Is it this one?

Just got the car back yesterday from a major suspension bushing overhaul. I decided to use Lemforder for almost everything except a couple parts.


Inner and outer tie rods

Front control arms and bushings


Dropped the rear subframe and replaced everything.

I used SDW for the RTABs

I changed the control arms to the ECS performance ones. This part 002608ECS01

I’ve had them in the garage a couple years.

I went solid subframe bushings. VAC sells a set of raised bushings.

I changed only the front Diff bushing with OEM.


I’ll be taking the car to the mountains for some fun this weekend. Excited to feel what the refresh has done.

You do have to modify the harness a little for manual cars regardless which is why I never bothered personally.

Im SMG but i didnt bother because well it was easier and quicker to modify the non CSL harness with my tech. We used BMW wiring diagrams which he has access to in 2 minutes which helped.....

I just wanted to do this to chase down something else which if it is the case i'll post up.....

Replaced failed/leaking batteries in the alarm siren. Of course the alarm siren is sonically welded together so out came Mr. Hacksaw. Careful cutting and some epoxy to put it back together. Made a harness to relocate the new battery to the DME area so I can check on them.

I would love a CSL harness, my flap setup is OK, but not great, would love the real deal. Did you find this used online somewhere?

Yes I got it used online. It's nice and neat now not that you could tell any different before lol

I paint matched front bumper and trunk/diffuser.

CSL engine wiring harness
New ECS CSL air filter
Rear sway bar links
Rear seat bench insulation
Fan clutch (tropical version)
New serpentine belt dayco 5060600 for perf pulleys
Brand New throttle actuator (had one why not)
Oil filter housing gasket
Fuel filter

Was going to rebuild axles but they look fine so just left it to be done with new wheel bearings front and rear, CSL kingpins and PSS10s. Maybe even throw in a ST60/40 rebuild and paint when the weather gets cooler.

Finally got my Autosolutions SSK install finished. What a PITA. Had to get creative but I probably can do it in half the time if I had to do it again. Feels weird coming from a RTD shifter. Almost too soft between gears but a nice crunch getting into the gears. I'm going to miss the RTD ultra short throws and self centering spring but the AS is definitely better than stock. Better suited for a DD than the RTD.
