What did you do for your M3 today?

[kaiv]

Took it out of storage; back to daily duty!

Desperately want to downsize the wheels to 18" but nice narrow body fitment wheels are apparently unobtanium

Got a Quickjack slightly used for a decent price. Finally I can get on fixing the broken radiator mount...

A limited time addition - going to be doing some work for a friend’s LSB M3.

I found it for $100 so I snapped it up REALLY fast!

Yeah that IS an Awesome deal! Glad you found it buddy. I'll probably update over here once i get round to having mine redone.

5MM spacers on the rear finishes the wheels for me.

ZCP wheels
245/35/19 front
275/30/19 rear
18MM spacers on the front
5MM spacers on the rear

No rubbing on stock height. Possibly looking at a modest drop to maintain a “no fender shaving / no fender rolling” rule for this M3.

Thats awesome! New ones are not worth the price to me any more so thats why im still looking for someone who can do a proper refurb job with the right leather. I have like 3 cores LOL

Does this version plug and play with the oem CSL front bumper?

As it's listed as the washer tank for the CSL model, it should be.

Steering wheel restoration - [email protected]

Sreten used this place for the E39 Touring. They matched the leather grain to factory spec.

Awesome! I'll shoot them an email right now. Thanks.

Also, everyone im in Bahrain and no Europe or NA so this is not easy to make happen even if i have cores.

Does great work and reasonable priced. Especially since you already have the cores

He does amazing work but I think prices are crazy high. When the price reaches 50% of the price for a new one from BMW its not worth it for me.

Im guessing i'll have to have them done from Turkey like i did with the X5M.

In another episode of saving the SMGs:

I decided to refresh the steering wheel and was able to source the following, new:

1. SMG steering wheel with a tiny bit of damage on a bottom section of the leather (got a killer deal on the wheel)
2. E39 black lower steering wheel trim
3. SMG paddles

The top buttons/upper wheel trim were in excellent condition so I of course kept all that the same.

First two photos the old wheel is the bottom and the old SMG paddles.

I was impatient this weekend so I installed the wheel without touching up the bottom leather, but next weekend I'll take a small blade to cut off the pieces that are sticking out and then use dye and polish to return to “like new” condition.

Installation was easy enough and the new wheel looks great in the cockpit.

I just half assed my regrease and reinstall, it was binding as well, but I am ready to get it rolling on its own and will replace it later if need be. How'd it look after you cleaned it out?

I have tomorrow off so I'm going to try to get to it then.

I’m going to open it up and take a look, tbh I don’t really know how much movement it’s supposed to have. I’ve never handled a healthy one.

Nice - steering wheel refresh is one of the best things I've done. Makes such a difference over a worn out one
