What did you do for your M3 today?

[maupineda]

So it's polished aluminum not powder coated or painted silver?

I believe so, will post some photos. I also think the M3 is aluminum, so I think the black finish can be stripped off.

sorry! Yes. Z4M.

this is how the setup sounds from the inside.

Yes, polished aluminum as opposed to black on the M3.

Ah ok, Thats given me a good idea. I'll have to do mine silver semi matte or matte powder coat as it looks so clean. Thanks.

Love it. What color did you paint or powder coat the strut bar. I think im going to do the same.

I gave the engine bay a clean so all carbon bits are shiny :P

Interior phase of my build is finally done. Had some time to take some decent photos of it. More details and photos in my build thread HERE

I LOVE these door cards

What if this forum’s consensus regarding scoops?

anyhow, as I am to deep in the mods scene, why not.

replaced my RPI scoop with with something that better matches the carbon theme.

Man that looks great, and must sound great. Can we get some clips?

Also, what are those braces going from the strut towers to the firewall? edit: just realized that's a Z4M

I think the leak is coming from the front main seal, so I'll tackle that as soon as I get the parts. I remember seeing a thread about making a tool to install this seal with a cut up bottle or something like that on M3Forum. Anyone remember this too? I'm having trouble finding it.

VICTOR REINZ 81-17404-10 comes with the "tool". i have bought that and the corteco one which is supposed to be the OE part on the left.

just saw that this post is from 2020 😅

Today, I'm going to turn my eye to the disgusting A pillars. I would say all pillars, but I can only take doses of irritation, so these first. Snapped those horrible trim covers off but the little plastic tabs are so weak they broke when I just looked at them. Lol. May check out some 3D printed ones to see if I can use to put some new fabric on. A pillars likely getting a new wrap of something. I'm annoyed at the old fabric as this is now 2x I have to deal with this. I remember saying I was only doing this once last time with the spray 77 reglue.. Sigh.

Redo them in 9002 Alcantara. Looks cool.
