KhanArt's Jet Black///Cinnamon 6spd E46 M3 build journal

Update: 7/8/21

New rear Michelin Pilot Sport 4s tires and alignment check at GT Peace Automotive.
Had too much fun last year during covid, paying for it now. These were pricey. Decided to do an alignment too since fun fact I've never had a shop align it before. Just DIY alignment myself.
Patting myself on the back since they said the alignment was in spec and wasn't needed. Just I should change the stock rear camber arms then align it.
She used to spin and slide before, now she dead hooks. #mpactprep

Someone with a name that rhymes with life put a ding in my door. So had to visit The Dent Group again

Took this bad bitch for a spin.
After all these years she is still a pure joy to drive.
Makes all the right sounds.
Handles like a dream.
Great balance between power and weight.
Timeless.

Haven't been giving the E46 much love since I got the E39 but knocked a few things out.

MSI wheel studs - Good enough for Turner, Bimmerworld, and Nascar race cars. Then good enough for my street shenanigans. Did a lot of debating and research before buying these. I wanted Titanium but function was more important than looks for me.

CQ.UK 3.0 ceramic coating on calipers.
CQ.UK 3.0 ceramic coating on wheels.
Recharged the AC.

So I did a thing. 2003 540i M Sport. Needs some love. I have started a journal. Hopefully I'll find time to update it.

The Porsche/Textar/Brembo pads dust like crazy. I swapped my 996 Brembos to Akebono EuroCeramics and there is a lot less dust now.

Thank you. I'll have to see how much those cost if I can't stand the brake dust. Because it will take me a while to wear these down.

Radium Engineering Fuel Filter

Changed the fuel filter, went with Radium Engineering this time. I've had their catch can on my car for years and love the quality of their products. This is a high flow all fuel compatible filter.

Coated wheels, calipers and front strut bar with CQ.UK3.0.

Probably a combination of the new brakes and me driving the car a lot more these past few months but the brakes dust like crazy.

Hoping the dust will just spray off with the pressure washer now that they are coated.

I got myself to ceramic coat all my exterior windows with cquartz uk 3.0. Prior to coating I compounded the windows which probably did absolutely nothing other than give them a good cleaning. Which is all I needed.
