What did you do for your M3 today?

[Bimma360]

I have them on 3 currently. Feels good around town. I’ll likely adjust up a couple when I take it to the canyon later this week.

Awesome! Report back if you can.

Out of curiosity what settings did you end up going with? I haven’t driven on mine yet, but I just set them to 3.

The B16s are more of what I’ve been wanting. They are “softer” but I think it’s a combo of a few things. The ST-XTA has integrated camber plates. Now I’m running the OEM mounts. We also raised the front about 10mm and took out 1.5 degrees of camber.
nothing bad to say about the ST coils. But the B16s fit my usage much better. The little things like man hole covers and seams in the pavement used to transmit some harshness into the body. That’s pretty much gone now. At this point I’m very happy with the change

How is the difference so far?

Removed the ST-XTA coils and replaced them with Bilstein B16 PSS10.

that does sound good! What’s your set up?

Nothing crazy. Eventuri intake(hoping to get the hybrid airbox soon), euro headers, and an agency power titanium muffler. Everything else is stock. I have Dji mic 3s that I put near the intake and on the license plate frame.

Started doing some sound recording. Mic in engine bay and near the exhaust. Pretty happy with the results!

Broke some clips.

That is what I did, new unmodified VANOS unit with a VAC hub and is perfect.

Yeah I'm liking the unmodified route. But VAC gets trashed on this forum. But like I said, I can't keep up these days.

nuc1 My mistake BTB I am also on the ohlins dedicated track set up with the vorshlag plates I belive they are the best before going to MCS. Ohlins is simple to set up and hassle free.

[BTB]

BTB Whats the reason why you changed the Ohlins Vorshlag set up to the Eibach pro kit? are they substantially stiffer ?

As nuc1 responded - I switched from Eibach springs / Koni yellows (installed back when first taking ownership of car, 2013 / 80k miles ago) to the Ohlins. The Ohlins actually have a stronger spring rate compared to the Eibach but it’s true what they say, although it’s still a firm ride in the grand scheme of cars (I’m set to 15 clicks or 75% to full soft) it is way more compliant and absorbs bumps beautifully without upsetting the car.

Also as another tidbit, seems like this has damn near eliminated rear axle wheel hop. Because the vertical load on the tires is much more consistent the car transitions from grip to slip very smooth (also have solid subframe bushings), even in the heavy rain yesterday where typically wheel hop would come in quickly, I could hold the car with wheels just barely slipping relative to road speed. Probably not a huge surprise to everyone but just a massive transformation from how it was

Where are we with these VAC hubs these days? I've got a fresh new VANOS and was looking at VAC hub as an option. I can't keep up with the debates.

Other way around.
