What did you do for your M3 today?

[Gt4]

Sold my 2003.5 Laguna/Laguna yesterday and my 2006 Estoril is supposed to leave in the next weeks. I will continue to do the GT4 Composites parts for the E46 M3 but looking to switch to Porsche 718 platform in the future.

I put it in the garage in November and haven't driven it since. NJ likes the pound the roads with salt because everyone has a hard on with seeing blacktop every time it snows. I don't wanna subject it to that shit.

Continuing my bumper repair saga, I applied the base coat and for the most part it came out good, but fucking novice mistake I made resulted in some splatters which will have me back to sanding land

this has been a learning and frustrating journey but is almost there

I had applied black sealer to help with color coverage and better matching. Sealer was supposed to be smooth but it has some texture and did not want on my finish so I had to wet sand it. But the repair is imperceptible to most



and this is how it looks now. You can see the splatters if you look closely. The issue was that when I did some test shots, I was not pulling the trigger all the way and cause some paint to run out of the tip, which clogged on nozzle and I did not notice this until I saw the splatters but the damage was already done

^This was the last update I had posted on my DIY project, I ended up having to take it to a shop as it was getting very troublesome to achieve the results I wanted, so I quit painting and clearing myself.

That said, I think the end result is great and the repair is imperceptible. I am convinced no body shop would have put the effort, done the job, or do it reasonably priced.





I also finished my rear big brake setup with e92 rotors

I installed euro center console armrest delete. Looks so much better. Waiting for some new parts also (radio bracket mount new + zhp boots + zhp steering wheel + mats)
I needed to do something else so I started polishing the exhaust tips aswell..

Started getting the red battery light recently, so just changed my alternator. First reman I got was noisy, so had to do the job again. But now the M3 is happy

126700 miles, oil change, replaced all 6 ignition coils and oil separator. BUT I think the valve cover stud bolt near the VANOS sheared, I didn’t even tighten it much. Guess something else to fix when I change the valve cover gasket 😂

Switched out the corner lights, the yellowing was not very pleasing:

replaced all missing valve caps

Casa de Mesa I wrote to him 11 days ago with the same question. Haven't heard anything back yet.

Apologies for the delay, hadn't logged in for a bit. Just replied all PMs!

Working on a manual conversion. Just got the RMS replaced with a Corteco part, but I’ve got a gap on the dust seal lip on the passenger side. Not liking it. The seal is seated evenly in the housing, installed and torqued per TIS, and it’s been a few hours in case the seal need to relax after stretching around the plastic installation bushing.

You know I'm putting deer whistles on this car

Only if Cubieman can confirm that the blue tornado will fit

Lol, you do have to give them some credit, they did get an airfilter down to an area to draw in fresh air.

It reminded me of those "fuel savers", I was surprised to see they are still being made...suckers.
