What have you done with or to your M3 today?

New set of 359's mounted yesterday.

I'm probably one of the few who really like the 220's so it took awhile to pull the trigger on these, but I definitely like them better.

Looks great! What vinyl and color code is that? I’ve been considering this if I wrap mine again.

This is not a wrap, its a full color change.

No cons,really.
Pros are simple, you get the real excitement of a deep feeling of paint instead of fake visual taste of vinyl wrap.
No resale value depreciation because its peelable.
You can polish, wax, etc just like any other paint.
And when you want to remove, it does not leave any adhesive over your factory paint.

All back together for now... also I ordered a m factory driveshaft. After weighing the pro's and con's of having the old ds repaired (baseball bat sound), ordering a new OEM ds or trying a turner core exchange I pulled the trigger on a new m factory. Now we wait and see how long shipping takes from Hong Kong during current world events. I enjoyed today in the hot garage working on the car and having the golf back on the tv, felt a little more normal with live sports going again. Staying hydrated drinking plenty of water, Cheers boys....

Very cool, when I read peelable I thought wrap. I’ll have to look into that. What does a job like that cost?

wow
i'm so confused
so it's not a wrap
but it's not permanent and peel-able ... will have to look into it

Installed red M and start/stop buttons, and wrapped my previously peeling steering wheel trim in matte carbon.

Car back from shop, top repainted after showing some oxidation and a few chips, hood also repainted to take care of the bulk of rock chips. Got my new trunk squared away with just the right paint line and extra coat of clear.

Absolutely beautiful. What headlight mod did you do?

Took it out for my second drive since installing the Eventuri carbon plenum and got some lazy sound clip footage with my phone sitting on the passenger seat. Staying off throttle is a real issue with this mod!

Freshly washed and waxed with meguiars hybrid ceramic spray wax. It's never been so easy to wax a car before. Absolutely love this product and the beading action is incredible ! makes drying the car easy

Took it for a drive along the coast!

Shoot. That ride height is bonkers great! What suspension?

Drove it for the first time in 2 weeks!

Enjoyed a long day out and about with the M!

I took the day off to install an icebox in the trunk but figured I would need two days for that so I finished up my DSP and AMP install that I have been putting off for some time.
