What did you do for your M3 today?

2M Autowerks. They're only 20 mins from my house and they know their stuff on carbon roofs.

Nothing out of this world, but finally installed the first aid box.

Sold my manual E60 M5 for this F80 M3 ZCP finished in Individual Daytona Violet Metallic. DCT, Executive & Lighting Package, and a ton of other options. Car also came already fitted with KW V3, Full bolt-ons, and a stage 2 tune.

In comparison to the E60 M5 I'd say this is a much superior weapon. It handles way better (500lbs lighter and Coilovers vs. Lowering Springs), and it has so much damn torque. DCT is also perfect for these cars, I don't regret not opting for a manual. As far as daily duties go, the E60 had a better sound system and the seats (I had the base comfort seats, not the sport seats) were much more plush and comfortable than the ZCP F8x seats. Gas mileage is vastly superior in the F80.

In comparison to the E46 which isn't going away ever, it's impossibly hard to compare the two. The E46 is raw and analog and you feel everything in that car, whereas the F80 is definitely digital in nearly every sense. The electronic steering isn't nearly as bad as everyone likes to complain about. Sport setting is the best-- heavy enough to mimic (but not replace) the feeling of old hydraulic steering. Comfort is too light and Sport+ is annoyingly heavy. The KW V3 wake the F80 up 100%. Stock they still feel boaty (which is crazy coming from a former E60 owner) but with the coilovers this car handles just as good as my E46 (on KW V2), if not better. The F80 is only about 100lbs heavier than the E46 if most of you didn't know. The tune also plays a big part in waking the F80 up.

All in all I'm very happy with the car so far and look forward to driving it alongside the E46 and comparing the two.

I, too, have many small and two somewhat large issues. But fix one, and two more pop up D: lol

Yea, true, the list never gets any shorter. What's on it just changes lol.

Congrats! Fantastic color. If you ever decide to sell in the future, please keep me in mind.

Wow! Daytona Violet Metallic is stunning MTiz! Congratulations! And I agree with what you say about the e60m5 vs f80, having owned both as well.

Did a detailling job on my LSB. Still have to paint diffuser and MEC CSL bumper and do touch up but look way better than before

I had an F80 as well. What you say of it are completely true.

i love the e46 m3 as its analog and fun in so many ways the f80 wasn’t.

I sold the f80 and I’ll never sell the e46

i kind of want to buy lots of e46 m3s.

Replaced the bi-xenon headlight bulbs. I noticed they've been flickering a bit more and with the extra daylight in the afternoon, I finally decided to change them out after work. This morning I noticed no more flickering and they seemed to be brighter. I replaced them with Philips standard xenon bulbs, which I bought back in 2018 and promptly misplaced in my room lol.

I have that problem...

[jpy1980]

Getting my new exhaust installed at EAS (Eisenmann sport) and a new M2 parked next to me. Never saw one in person and I thought they were the baby M cars but look how big it looks next to my car! Jeez.

Guys, what’s the best urethane to glue my engine mounts back together?

A dab of JB Weld and three zip ties should do it.
