What did you do for your M3 today?

[prostcfc]

I found an OEM E46 roof rack on eBay UK and installed it today. Since I don't trailer this car to the track at the moment (future plan), wanted an option for bringing an extra set of wheels to the track (long distance drive, variable weather, etc.). Figured I'd be able to offload this easily if it didn't work out. Since my car has a bolt in roll-bar and topside subframe brace, the back is not accessible and I can fit one wheel in the trunk. If I could get three on top, with ample safety margin for weight, I'll be happy. Not sure yet what basket/platform I'm going to get quite yet.

Would love to hear how these improved things, my clutch and brake pedal may need the same.

They tighten up any side to side, the bmw sleeve wears over time, 120k miles worth of clutch in/out, the brake pedal sees less wear in my instance.

I printed them in two materials, an abs with cf additive (not a great choice for this location but it's what was loaded at that moment) and a PA12 CF which should be a better fit for this application and what I'll install.
Best would likely be PEEK, but I'm limited to a 300c print temp, so that's off the table for my inexpensive RAISE3D pro

For a sane individual, buying a set of $20-40 a pop Delrin bushings from one of the suppliers would make the most sense

Clutch pedal was a bit loose, was ordering some small parts this week and realized no real options for getting things to me before weeks end, so thought why not try and 3D print something, I never really use it for anything these days….

Half hour later, some clutch/brake pedal bushings I'm going to try out.

Guys I finally did it. The stock diff had drove me nuts for the life of ownership with it's clunking. Diffsonline rebuilt with a wavetrac and no more clunk, drives so wonderful at the moment, now awaiting break in period. Pocket book has a hole in it but had to do it right.

Stock Sachs front Struts, bump stops, bearings, and spring supports done. Front is sitting a bit high at this moment 😂

Bunch of new gaskets and exhaust camshaft sensor o-ring so as to remove some notable German characteristics, you know, oil leaks.

Replaced rear shocks with stock Sachs, Ground Control RSMs, and new bump stops. Front struts, front bump stops, bearing, and spring supports next.

Also printed up one of these CSL intake screens I have no use for, but maybe a coaster 😂

So much fun with Dreamers of Drift ATX

feel like these were done in reverse order of how they would typically be done. Nice car btw.

Heh, it was a bit dirty from the rain and I thought it would look best with a decent shine. Thank you and she does need another wash now Will try to get some pics from event photographers

Washed her, then drifted her. Car drifts so nicely
