    Back's finally starting to feel better, so my buddy Chris (who owns the blue E93 M3 parked next to me) and I decided to check out the Woodward Motorsports C&C this past Saturday. We were early, so prime parking was in order:

    Awesome, good to know. Ordered yesterday and just hoping my back heals up enough sooner rather than later so I can actually start making myself useful again. Hoping to get this done before we leave for Aruba at the end of the month. Appreciate the feedback!

    Correct. Looks to level out pretty well based on all the photos I've seen. For the price, might give it a shot and see if it lives up to the hype.

    Never tried it. Reviews seem promising. I have however used VHT Caliper Paint with good results.
    Hey, now I know at least one person is following this thread! 🤣 Ha, in all seriousness, I appreciate the info, man.

    As for this thread, I really just do it for myself to track the journey of my M3. So no big deal. Cheers! 🍻

I'm probably going to do the rotors/pads over next winter, but thinking of painting the calipers black in the meantime to really clean up the visible area behind the face of my wheels. Really good reviews on Amazon and Facebook, just curious if anyone has actually tried it.

    Finally had some time to install the Karbonius Snorkel and replace the Throttle Position Sensor. Snorkel was a snug fit, but I made it work. Hopefully just another week or 2 (and a bit more rain) until I can start driving this thing again. Need any remnants of salt off the roads first!

    Thank you!

    Back's feeling much improved, so might pull the car cover off and get to this today or tomorrow.

I usually buy direct from Karbonius, but once I saw IND had a few in stock, figured I'd order from them to cut down on turnaround time. Even though I don't have the CSL style front bumper, I really think this will help finish off the look of the Karbonius intake:
























    Hurt my back last week so I've been unable to really do much beyond walking, but really hoping to get this installed next week (we're away this weekend). Will obviously take lots of photos during and after the install.
    That said, I did order something else direct from Karbonius....stay tuned!! 👀



    Looks great!
