What did you do for your M3 today?

[BTB]

tell me more about the gm5 fix.

Read all about it at bmwgm5.com

^Scott repairs the GM5 'general module' among other things. If you have intermittent issues locking or unlocking via key and/or inside button, it's likely the GM5. In my case over the last 10 years I had intermittent issues unlocking passenger on second click, then last year or two it stopped unlocking either door ever. Had to use physical key or roll down window and grab interior handle. $120 for GM5 repair (some internal relays that go bad or something) and works perfect now. Some of the best money I've spent on the car. GM5 also controls power windows, wipers, etc. but I believe it's most common to have intermittent issues unlocking car

New door lock actuator which didn't fix s**t, so then GM5 repair (thank you Scott @ bmwgm5.com). Fully functional door locks are amazing 🤩

Plus new shift knob (E36 M3 GT illuminated broomstick)

I had my ZCPs refinished.... again. First attempt turned out great just the color wasn't what I was looking for. Searched around for someone that could replicate hypersilver and had them do a shade or so darker. Very E39 M5-ish or style 67 shadow chrome. There's a pic with OEM finished e92 ZCPs for comparison. They were able capture the depth and pearlescence of the OEM finish, plus an extremely smooth finish for a powdercoat. I couldn't be more satisfied, especially now that the fronts are NLA new.

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!

[SQ13]

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.

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.
