What did you do for your M3 today?

[Barracooda]

I installed the BMW floating center caps in my VMR wheels. I had the VMR caps and wanted to go to the normal BMW ones, but the floating ones weren't much more expensive, so I figured I'd give it a shot. I wasn't completely sold on the idea initially, thought it might be a little much, but they do look quite nice.

Clearance on the front is an issue on our cars, depending on the wheel they may not work at all. You need around 16mm depth of clearance from the outer edge of the wheel for the weight assembly. I was closer to 14 or 15 to the dust cap. I was able to tap around the dust cap with a punch and hammer to free up enough clearance for the weight to spin freely without having the cap interfere with the axle nut.

Rears fit perfectly with no work needed, lots of clearance available there. These caps aren't advertised to work with our wheels, and success with the fronts will likely vary by wheel model, brand, size, offset, and spacer usage. Mine are 19x8.5, 40mm offset and no spacers. I didn't have to modify the weight to trim it down or anything, but that is an option if you're crafty.

Excuse the dirty wheels, they were clean a few weeks ago but they get dusty so quick.

Received my order of Carbon Lorraine RC6E brake pads. I will see how they perform versus my current Pagid RSL1 on the front axle during the first track day when I swap them after the first stint.

Those were by go-to track pads for my STI. Loved how well they tolerated heat.

Nice. One of my friend runs this compound and swears by them because of pedal feel. I figure I'll give them a try since they were not quite as expensive as the RSL1.

Stored it for winter.

Tbh I only put 100 miles on the car in the last year or so. I should probably unload it

Took some photos just for fun. Details in my build thread HERE

how do these things attach? since they're aluminum I'm guessing it's a bolt in job? if so that is very very appealing, and I'd probably do it same time as you are....when installing a euro bumper. Which, where did you source the euro bumper from? Seems like I should have bought one when they were like $250 instead of the $800 they are now.

Start on this thread, you can buy the parts through the link in the post and the installation is shown with the hardware utilized.

Yeah, bought my Euro Bumper in 2021 from ECS Tuning, then it was like $600 shipped, got it during Black Friday or something. I've bought so many parts early on and I'm really happy I did, prices are becoming astronomical and some items, NLA.

Made this cool guy intake for my Karb race box. I have deleted fogs so I just used the fog light as an intake. I like the design that Bry5on came up with for the oem style boxes but I didn't want to get rid of the OEM brake ducts.

Is this something you’d be open to printing for others and selling? Also what do you plan to do for the right side fog delete?

I'll print it for you if he'll share an .stl

Yes the plan was to offer it as a full kit but I need to tweak the design a bit and tidy a few things up. I should have some time to mess with it this weekend. Passenger side has a flat closeout. Looks OEM similar to an E30/36 to me. Disregard the bugs...

Got my quickjack bled and ready to lift up the M3 for all the fluids to get changed!

Tested the 3D printed part inspired by Bryson and created by Heinze. I'm running a Karbonius Box, Haimus (non carbon) snorkel and the 3D printed part to the OEM location on the driver side brake duct.

I mocked it on my Euro bumper, orients and clocks up quite nicely.

I need to order one of these…

+1 on the intake, have had it for a few weeks now and it definitely is a noticeable improvement
