What did you do for your M3 today?

2 step paint correction in process followed by ceramic coating.

This is what I've done for people - I've sold them bearing sets since I've already ordered in bulk to keep inventory. The INA bearing is impossible to find genuine now as I'm pretty sure I've scoured every possible public and private source to collect as many as I can...

How do I score an INA F-208801.4 from you?

Bought them on eBay, E46 steering rack seal kit. You'll only need to source the three bearings, the killer is the shipping. I spent probably double on shipping than I did on the actual bearings, in hindsight I should have ordered 3 of each and just sold them to you guys so no one has to eat shipping. To put it in perspective, one of the INA bearings was $16, I ended up paying $55 for shipping from China, thanks to increased trade costs. So dumb, but I wanted the genuine stuff, Ali Baba has aftermarket bearings if you want to go with those, I was going to but shipping was the same, so what's a $10 difference really.

Replaced the fuel filter on my 2004 vert, I am guessing 20 years and 85000 miles is not the typical change interval for fuel filters.

Filter build date is the same as the car...

Boot and hood struts!

It's the little things, like not getting hit in the head when changing the oil…

Installed Karb race box. I had bought an extra ecu that supposedly had a stock CSL tune on it, evidently it doesn’t. So, I guess I’m going to let HTE work on the tune.

Today was a good day

Brought my car to WileMotorSport in Walpole MA to chase down some lean codes as well as install a CSL tube/dipstick.

Excellent. Where did you get your rebuild kit (all the seals, etc) from?

Did you DIY wrap the entire car? Looks like a pretty good match to LSB

Yea I did it myself. Learned to wrap my F80 at the start of the pandemic when everything was closed and business was slow. Haha. Pretty easy, hard part is dismantling the car.

When I got my e46 m3, I wrapped it Avery Dennison aqua blue which is closest to Porsche Miami blue. The color in person is closer to Miami blue than LSB.

thinking about doing a red color next…unless I can find an LSB color clone

Took my spare stock diff out of storage and for some reason felt the need to take it apart.
I need to send it out to be rebuilt as it feels and sounds something inside the carrier is loose and not right.

I have a 4.10 and want to try stock gearing, I lack the time and tools at the moment to take a stab at a rebuild on my own so I'll have to shell out for diffsonline to do it.

Also did my first oil change with an extrator, looks like it pulled ~5.25L, not bad!

It's quite simple actually, if you're careful you'll get zero scraped like me. I used a long screwdriver to "punch" the outer race and leave an indent. Once I had a groove from the punch, I used a larger screwdriver and went through the outer race. Once my screwdriver was through, I used vice grips on the screwdriver and twisted clockwise until it deformed the outer race, couple twists. (You can see it in my photo). It's the oil seal with the odd shape.

Once it's bowed, take out your screw driver and you have a much larger surface area to catch it. Good news is the lip that is exposed IS the outer race, so getting into it isn't hard. I was careful and caused no damage I could see or feel.

If you need the tools that worked for me, you can borrow them. I'll drop them off 😎
