What did you do for your M3 today?

I might get flamed for this… but here we go.
The new-to-me Imola Red M3 Coupe I picked up a few weeks ago is also an SMG like my Jet Black M3 Hardtop Convertible. I don't mind the SMG, and the IR was a steal of a deal with low mileage (75K).
The interior trim is brushed aluminum and I don't like that the SMG shift plate is Titan Gray… so, I found an excellent condition OE 6MT shift boot with the foam insert and mocked up on the inside. It's MUCH cleaner, of course. I ran the SMG selector button through the ash tray and will devise a way to modify the tray so it looks “OE”, but wanted to share.
I'm not trying to pretend I have a 6MT, I really just don't like that the SMG shift plate is a different color than the interior trims of any car that isn't Titan Gray throughout (like my Jet Black M3, which I'll leave alone).
Thoughts? (I'll buy another SMG shift knob soon, too)

What a wannabe! j/k pretty cool. I always like to see how similar (same tranny ofc) 6MT and SMG really are.DD: /// 2011.5 Jerez/bamboo E90 M3 · DCT · Slicktop · Instagram

Just got my GM5 back from Scott with some disappointing news regarding my previous repair done in San Francisco found from a Craigslist ad. Guy seemed legit. Anyway now she's perfect.
Also Mat and Foam have arrived from Second Skin for the interior swap.

My painter suggested clearcoar as opposed to gelcoat.
I was thinking of trying to remove some of the gel coat myself to save some money. I had seen some photos of people using a heat gun a carefully peeling it back, looks like it comes off in big "sheets" almost.2004 Silbergrau Metallic 6MT

Restored the M stripes and black background on my SMG shifter dome by hand. Very happy with the end result for a homemade job. While possible to do, this is not a commercially viable opportunity hahaha.

Installed SS dual resonated section 2.
We did a before and after decibel reading. The SS is 4 db quieter than the stock section 2.
