What did you do for your M3 today?

[Avedis]

I felt that the information available online for DIY was a bit lacking, so I plan to make a separate thread with advice and photos.

Have had some people reach out to me about the tools, so I’ll probably rent them out. We can chat about that if you’re interested.

Absolutely interested in both a diy and tool rental. Thanks!

Lots of photos please, I will definitely be picking your brain soon. Let me know about those specialty tools you got, if you want to part with them after I’ll buy them from you.

Wow that looks amazing.

Belt driven dry sump?

Still planning to use the belt driven power steering and alternator?

Yes, the Dailey Engineering dry sump is belt driven. Jury is still out on if I retain the belt driven power steering pump. Will decide after new engine is installed. Under hood space is at a premium.

Draped it for surgery. Hoping to pull the roof out tomorrow and put Karb roof in this weekend

New motor is ready to go compliments of ET Tuning (https://ettuning.com/) who did a fantastic assembly and set up job. Special thanks to Peter Partee of Partee Racing (https://parteeracing.com/) who was a sounding board and insight provider. Peter also set me up with the Dailey Engineering dry sump system. Brad Noland of Noland Cylinder Head Service (https://www.facebook.com/nolandscylhead/) and I plotted the path for the head including custom valves from Supertech. Here's hoping it runs like a scalded dog.

Removed trans and bell housing for SMG conversion to 6MT. SMG was in good shape but the other bits within the bell housing where shot. throw out bearing, pivot pin, and fork were all heavily worn.

Track day at Streets of Willow. 1:29.xx isn't flying but it was a nice day at the track. More traffic than I anticipated but I'm still learning the car. I'm not brave enough to drive it without the DSC on "track mode".

Finally got around to working on the Imola.

1. Karbonius CSL airbox (plastic trumpets)
2. CSL air rail with Kassel Performance MAP sensor cable
3. Turner Motorsport IAT relocation / Alpha-N cable without MAF connection
4. Kassel Performance MSS54HPCSL DME

Things I didn’t do but will when I find time again:

1. CSL dipstick install
2. Karbonius snorkel + custom snorkel-to-brake duct tube
3. SMG pump relocation to drug bin
4. Burkhart Engineering SMG motor replacement
5. Turner Motorsport triple baffled steering fluid reservoir

Had to swing by Harbor Freight and thought I'd grab a few photos.

I think I'm going to refinish my Volk G.2 in gunmetal whenever I refinish them.

120K miles

Installed new coolant expansion tank
swapped out SAP to another one that doesn’t whine

[zzyzx85]

flushed my brake fluid and put on my track wheels.

I think I need to drink more water (or the fluid was due for a change 🤣)

Wow those look so classy. Gorgeous!
