What did you do for your M3 today?

Were the euro section 1 cats also acquired through bmwfnatic?
This may be something i want to acquire soon.

Shoot me a PM, we’ll figure something out.

Got my M3 running again, been 9 months. Gonna feel good to get the airbox and Dixis singing again. The F80 carbon driveshaft is finally going back in.

I remember when this trunk was posted on FBM. Keep us posted on how it turns out!

Finally got around to posting the results. It was a lot of custom work but it was to be expected for a $800 trunk (plus paint, wiring, etc.) Pretty content overall!

I still wonder about the brand, it was based on a A9? 09/2003 mold for what it's worth.

I really would love to get that DS sorted out one day. Im going to start checking around here if there is anyone who can do the balancing work

OE CSL engine harness on the way. Cant wait to clean up the wiring in the engine bay even though the way it was done is OE style.

Post-track day oil change for the M3.


I might have picked up something new to play with (at a much later date).

1989 325i. 1 owner. Auto but that won't matter for what I plan for it (saves the M3 from going full racecah)

Took the extra time over the holidays to knock out a bunch of small items I had laying around.

- Switched out the Redline MTL @ 18k miles for Ravenol 75W-80 MTF-2. Don't remember what Pentosin was like as I haven't had it in the box since before prices skyrocketed, but compared to MTL it's much less crunchy when cold and feels pretty consistent all the way up to operating temperature. Don't expect I'll be changing this stuff for a good while, but time will tell.
- Replaced the clutch stop that had disappeared at some point with the anchor bolt solution
- Refreshed clutch and brake pedal bushings with AKG, no more lateral slop in either pedal
- Bled brakes and clutch
- Swapped in the BMW weighted performance knob

Combined with recently refreshed shifter linkage parts and the E60 short lever, I'm quite happy with the overall shifting experience now. Diff bushings / rebuild will be the final item in this category sometime in spring, then I should be all done with drivetrain.

Wow that's quite a feat, have you had to open the engine? with that many miles? my M3 currently sits at 170k, put on about 25k miles during my 3 years of ownership, plan to put more.

Nothing beyond the normal maintenance items like rod bearings and valve adjustment. There is a good amount of varnish and some carbon build up in the head from previous owner doing long OCIs. I really need to do a compression test to see where it's at with so many miles when I do the rod bearings at 300k.

Saving these for a rainy day fresh from BMW

Not much on the M3 as of late but have the SMG3 out the M6 for a LW flywheel, R.M.S, new orings all around on the SMG, new SMG pump motor etc.

Looks exactly like what's in our e46.
