What did you do for your M3 today?

[PipeUy]

So this happened, Pole Position ABE arrived from Germany. Going to be using Speed Engineering adapters and manual sedan seat rails. Oh and of course, the centers will be done in M-Texture so they match the rest of my interior.

Great choice! That will be beautiful!

I need to find the lower plastic trim for the steering wheel that isn't titan silver...

Send yours to me and I'll repaint it any color you like.

Out of hibernation today. Switched to my summer wheel set up 18x9.5 +27 TE37 OG. Still need 10mm spacers on rears

[SUPREM3///]

Decided to pull the trigger on a DIY wheel wrap and painted the trim and paddles, much needed refresh. I used Colorbond BMW Black 258 on the trim and also installed new microswitches in the paddles from RS-Online. I haven't been able to drive it yet but the fresh "click" definitely feels nice.

I'll probably grab another cover once I search around a little. There was a discount applied on checkout and I paid $2 for this on Aliexpress, can't complain. I just know I'll get it stitched much cleaner the second time around.

SUPREM3/// where did you get that red button? Love that!

I got mine from Autotecknic but I think you can find them cheap on sites like ebay and aliexpress. I think it adds a nice pop, especially on the ZCP wheel

Can't wait to give these Bridgestone RE-71RS a try. I've only tried RS-3 on my STI but never tried anything else. I feel like I'm about to have my mind blown.

They are legit, definitely a favorite. What size are you running 265?

Suspension installed.

I went with ST XTA Coilovers. I couldn’t find a bad review about them. Only had them a day but so far the ride is excellent.

smart choice! I would’ve gotten these if the car didn’t already come with pss10s. I had them in my f80 and they were great, and cheaper than its big brother the kw V3s.

That's great to know. Thanks for the feedback. Those come with camber too so that’s nice!

What switches did you use from RS-online? Were you following a DIY guide?

This one looks very similar to the one in the SMG steering wheel.

That's the one. Originally came across this thread but it's pretty straightforward once you get the airbag/wheel off

Now that I have confirmed my leather samples match oem cinnamon, I went ahead and picked up a pass seat for $100.

Started taking measurements on the top stitch width, the distance between each stitch (granted, a bit overboard but I like perfection), as well as notes on the construction of the seat cover as a whole.

I then broke down the cover.

After, I did some searching and obtained a supplier for color matched thread that matches the oem one, the plastic pieces that mount the seat cover to the frame, as well as foam backing/skrim to avoid wrinkles and the appearance of a poor finished product once the new cover is sewn and mounted.

—
Since the panels get distorted/warped a bit over time I can't use the original seam allowance on the panels, so I will likely take several measurements of the seam allowance on different parts of each section, then take the median and the average and compare the two, thusly, choosing the best one.
