What did you do for your M3 today?

[PSUEng]

Thought I'd get one of these, seemed to be a good deal.

Inspected the parts I bought for it.

Today I finally adjusted my ride height after years of ownership. I've got the Bilsten PSS10s, went up 3 full turns in the front which took the height from about 13 1/8" to 13 1/2". Didn't touch the rear, but it's about 14 1/8", which apparently should probably come down a bit from what I've read lately.

I only went for a short drive, but the ride quality and comfort over bumps and dips seemed much improved. I should have done this a long time ago, I suspect I've been hitting the bump stops fairly often.

Finally got my front seats finished to complete the interior...also some new rare kicks!

Long story short...I was able to source a complete ZHP coupe alcantara/laser cloth interior and extra rear seats for additional fabric. I ripped the center cloth fabric off the seats and used them to reupholster the Recaro PPs. The Laser cloth (G7AT) material appears to be the exact same as found on the M3 CSL labeled ADAT - Anthracite Reflex cloth which I thought was interesting.

Cut the exhaust manifold heat shield into two for future header swapping / removal. I left a quarter-inch gap between the two parts so that they would slip in and out easier.




First 2-hour heat cycle with Supersprint stepped V1s and they’re already bronze!

After a fistfight with the garage door, had to learn myself how to do bodywork.

Made some progress. I applied the primer, I mixed it as a surfacer. Came out good with very few dust particles. Not concerned at this point as it needs to be sanded to make it flat. The area I repaired came out ok. Not perfect, but I think I can level the primer just enough to make it invisible once colored and cleared







And this is the side I repaired.

I continued my search for a set of 219m wheels in good shape, and went down the rabbit hole of suspension options! I hope I find my way back..

Does a timecert hold the 200NM of that bolt ? What hardness do they come in ?

I have been able to torque to 200NM no problem. Done it twice already.

Washed and detailed the car.

That CSL interior is drool worthy !
It's only missing the SMG to be complete

Yea my only hesitation is the bushing. After all of my wasted time and fussing back and forth over bushings, I do not want to do this job again.

I wonder if the stock bushing could be bored out enough and still have integrity?
It is mostly metal with a small bit of rubber (or whatever) around the permiter.
