What did you do for your M3 today?

Who do you have doing the work?

Pat Simkee from Facebook. He’s doing an excellent job!


Here’s a few teasers he sent me.

Is the tab sheared? Can't tell from the pic might be the lighting sort of looks intact.

No sheared tab. Vanos parts we’re all in good shape for the most part.

AC/heater fan final stage resistor, aka hedgehog. Wonderfully tight spot to work, but need reliable AC when it's 98 degrees.

Funny...I think mine died yesterday. I'll need to try to see if it'll blow on full speed but I had no blower last night and no blower this morning.

Going to try the FSR first. If not, time to replace the blower motor.

woke up early this morning in hopes of cooler temps to do a cold start for my Secondary Air Injection monitor to be ready. it was 80 degrees...so it didn't happen lol

What temps are required for SAP to go ready?!?

I read somewhere it needs to be under 74 ambient. I confirmed with INPA that the SAP wasn't on yesterday morning when I fired up the car.

Installed an "Innovate LC2" wideband O2 sensor, used switched/fused 12v power and ground from pins 6 & 7 found under the center console from the telephone connector. This was handy as all that need to be removed was the cupholder/coin holder.

Tried my best to make it as clean as possible, the module is located in my glove box which is nice as there is a status light you can check easily.

I just bought a serial to USB adapter and can now read real-time AFR in Testo now I just need to find out how to record or log the AFR alongside other information.

So far I can view/log AFR on its own or view/log other "main" info (from OBD) on it's own but cannot combine or sync AFR with "main" info into one cohesive log file.

EDIT: Got it, time to log some data..

Had my engine service soon light come on.


Hoping it's just an evap gas cap code. We will see on the morning.
