What did you do for your M3 today?

[davidinnyc]

Interesting that it doesn’t have the cutout holes to secure the center console to the euro/csl center console bracket. Do they just have you press fit it over the transmission tunnel/carpet to keep it in place?

Let me know if there’s anything you need help with when the time comes to get it all installed.

I thought it was interesting as well, but I went ahead and installed anyways. It is very tight and fits incredibly snug against the carpeted driveshaft area, so much so I had to press down from the rear towards the front to get it to fit.

I left the euro/CSL center console bracket installed in the event I find a genuine CSL center console for less than $3K USD (looking at you, bmwfnatic).

It looks just fine! I’m waiting on a 1x1 CF center shift trim piece so it looks “fluid” at least through the shift knob area.

I've started down the slippery slope of a CSL interior… bought this Vorsteiner 1x1 console without the switch cutout but have the stencil in case I decide to go down that path.

Didn't do it today alone, but over the course of this past month.

I've done:
All 3 bushings on my trailing arms (lemforder)
Upper and lower control arms from psm (Part Shop Max)
psm true style coilovers
new lemforder tie rods and FLCA
psm solid steering column u joint
rear sway bar clamp from psm, spl front end links
trans and diff fluid
alignment

and to top it off a set of TE37 i got for a steal on FB!

How is the driving experience after installing the psm solid steering u-joint? I’ve got some play and approaching 100k miles and think its time for this upgrade. Why did you choose slid over the oem? New to my e46 platform so thanks for any insight!

I have a Fuji GFX100 for sale

Oh dang .. That's a serious camera probably out of my budget lol but thank you

Car is finally running optimal so I decided to take a cruise by my old high school and snapped some shitty iphone 16 pics. I need to buy a legit camera. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance

Deleted another ///M badge yesterday 😂
Had a rear caliper sticking really bad— replaced with a remanned one from Summit Racing. Logoless caliper had better shipment (I think the m3 caliper is the same as 330i? With different mounting bracket). Might monkey around with the seized caliper and see if I can rebuild it

Finally, the car drives like an absolute dream again 👍

Also, did my brother's F15 X5 35d rear brakes. A successful day in the garage

in preparation for its biennial smog check, I removed the CSL intake and swapped back to my OE ECU. The next week or so will be getting all the readiness monitors ready for testing.

I also noticed the lifter tick nearly went away. I guess the CSL intake really amplifies all the noises.

update: well, i got a P0128 code this morning. Didn't get it before doing the swap. Not sure if its something from the ECU swap or it just decided to fail now. I'm going to see if it goes away on its own.

Installed a new water pump that had some play and was creating a lot of noise, along with a new thermostat, A/C blower motor, hoses, and pulleys. Fuel pump also failed while it sat for a couple months, so remedying that as well and hoping to be back on the road very soon here!

What's the specs on the TEs? Looks great! saustinm3

Thank you! They are 18x10 +25 w/ 265/35 all around, I did have to add a 5mm spacer on the front bc my inner barrel was rubbing my spring from the camber.
