What did you do for your M3 today?

[zzyzx85]

Washed the engine bay

What products do you use? Mine seems to be permanently caked in dust. I probably need to use a brush to agitate the dust off everything.

Nice mix of new and old caps on the strut brace and brackets. Think i will put on the same new style caps on the brace nuts.

On a side note, wish i had known about your restoration service, before i ordered new replacement OE parts...

I think I just got these caps off amazon for like $10 for 50 or something. They are not OE BMW. They look exactly like OE, though
Yeah, I need to post here more often so people see the signature more often, lol

Use simple APC (Simple green, purple power, etc) and small brush to agitate everything:



After that I just powerwash the crap out of it, and dry with microfibers. No dressing or anything, just soap and water. 2x year keeps it clean here in Texas.

Removed interior and blower unit.

Next step: delete unnecessary wiring and remove sound deadening mats. Then reassemble...

Nothing special, just a wash. The interior is in pretty good shape I must say, so is the engine bay.

I have a full set of black aluminum cube trim which is in very good condition. Debating whether to swap it into my car or sell it (since I think it's fairly rare and would get a decent price for it). I would probably refinish the underside of the door handles if I were going to put them in my car since they aren't mint.

I've gone back and forth since I love how the stock titan trim looks but the black cube is nice too, any opinions?

With the m-tech the titan complements better, less busy IMO.

Exact! I tried Piano black trims with my M-Texture i terior and Titan shadow looks better

Installed RE v1 Rasp Pipe. Loving it. Putting on an SS Sport muffler next.

Same things minus 3.5kg wiring of unnecessary options.

Damn! Forgot how much wiring is in this car. Here is my complete wiring harness except for the home made fuse box.

Haha....depends on your definition of "street". Its a bare bones tin can that only see the track.

Finally installed the (pricey) badge on the engine cover.



I'm leaning towards leaving off the Karbonius cf strut brace as the 3 piece OE brace is much more convenient for working under the hood.

I've been thinking of either cleaning/dressing up the current bar or buying a fresh new one.

Oh yes, that's still on the to do list. 👍
