What did you do for your M3 today?

[davidinnyc]

Went to pick up some items from my trusty powder coater.

AC Schnitzer strut bar (yes, I know it's worthless and yes I have a brand new Rogue Engineering race brace) painted millennium black.





996 calipers in a muted silver. I wanted these to “disappear” behind the ZCP wheels without standing out too much. Not a perfect match of course, but will be unobtrusive.

Installed a new battery and replaced my RE strutbrace with the OE three piece strut brace.

Made a “997 style” (though fixed) cupholder so my wife can put a big coffee or yeti somewhere without it getting in the way of shifting. Think I'll put euro tray back in now and use that as backup/no. 2 cupholder when needed

the OE 3 piece strut brace is underrated lol. it's convenient for maintenance compared to aftermarket one piece strut braces.

This is the whole reason i did that otherwise i love the RE bar and was sad removing it. I have a lot of stuff coming up to do like installing the OE CSL Engine harness and i dont want to be taking that RE bar on and off and of and off etc for access.

I installed my Challenge carbon fiber roof panel on my M3.






I've wanted to get this done for quite some time. I really love the contrast this carbon fiber roof panel has against my titanium silver paint. I feel having this changes the personality of this car.

Car looks great! What diffuser is this? OEM or repro?

Appreciate the link! I will be sure to get this.

Thanks! This is a Tekarbon repro rear diffuser. I was going to source an OEM CSL diffuser but as easy as this is to mount and dismount, I decided not to in case someone decided to steal this.

Polished my Meistershaft muffler. Looks good again for a +20years old muffler!!

[CarbonSchwartzenegger]

Hi guys. I got it bad. I have been getting back into my life and hobbies and the M was just needing love. Today.... re-painted those god-awful trim interior pieces. Also bought a $250 shift knob just so it can light up 😱

Wow looks stout, dumb question, is this to assist with movement as to not damage the diffuser?

Yes, it will limit movement of the muffler and should last longer than stock (FWIW I've only been running (1) of these for almost a year). To me it is just a great product overall, you can buy shims if you need to change the position of the muffler relative to diffuser. 1 track day down and no issues for me





(my diffuser fitment has been screwed up for some time, please ignore hah)

Those RE mounts are the shit, I just run one though.

All 3 added a bit of NVH, but just 1 on the passenger side made it so the muffler didn't smack into the evap housing and also allowed for great alignment relative to the diffuser.

Also, when I ran all 3 I had to hack a bunch of material off one mount that went on the front most driver's side. That was not cool to have this awesome expensive billet piece then take an angle grinder to it.

This is good to know-- I kept having the passenger side mount fail so just tried out the RE mount there, and agreed, it seems to work great like this. Will see how long the driver's side stockers last, wasn't that long ago that I replaced. It is a nice looking piece, much nicer than stock
