What have you done with or to your M3 today?

Finalizing pricing on this clever cooling solution.

Took my MIL's pup for a ride with the top down to celebrate a beautiful January afternoon.

Felt inspired this morning and continued on Part Deux of my Stripper's Maiden Voyage.

More info on this product ... never heard of this ...

Here's aof the procedure. Basically, you're re-adjusting the clutch pressure and such. Didn't catch all the technical terms but it works. Using ISTA+ to do the adaptation will adjust the settings based on the condition of the DCT instead of just resetting it to factory default like with the other methods. ISTA+ will walk you through the process, tells you to hold the brake while it runs through the gears, tells you to hold a certain RPM while it makes the calculation/adjustments. Pretty cool stuff.

The ultimate OEM+ retrofit big brake kit for the E9X M3 😁

Modular like a LEGO set.
The ///M eye candy.
Great pricing.
Inexpensive consumables.
Extensive pad options.
OE like brake balance.
Complete pad sweep.
Extremely competitive 2 piece rotor upgrade.

It's all here.

This has been months in the making after numerous deep dives and dead ends into retrofit kits.

GB information gets posted tonight.

Got the Dinan Performance Engine and DCT software done today. Car feels so refined now.

Here's a link to them. It's just a steel cable within a sheathing that physically turns the cap held on to the top adjusters by a set screw. I cut them down a bit because they bind if they're too long and kinked up and you can't feel the click. If I were to do it again I'd switch out the plastic sheathing for something hard but easy to bend/shape like aluminum fuel line. They're pretty good quality, all billet parts and I do like the anodized gold. I have ohlins r/t.

If you measure your adjuster diameter I'll measure these and report back. There's other brands out there too.

Just ordered and Spent more money on my 4th Set of M Performance CF front splitters from ECS Tuning; during my 7 years of owner ship!!! My current set was damage from road hazard during winter driving!! darn Ice patches!!!

My new puppy loves the M, when I do a cold start he goes crazy scratching the door to get in. I think I picked the right pup!

Finally got the tune all sorted. 546 553 and 562whp. Wheels were spinning on the top end due to the tires being a Lil wet (video is over on the FB group)

New car security system... armed vs disarmed :

He finally have enough impulse control for me to let him go into the garage.

My doberman puppy chewed up my from bumper. I just replaced the old one with brand new OEM and had it painted. I think it was the fresh smell of the paint. He went crazy on it.

Ouch! That is exactly why I haven't let my pup into the garage till today, and I let him in after our morning training/walking. So he was nice a tired. This guy is my second German shepherd, so I know exactly how damage they can do in a hurry lol.

They're so smart, loyal and easy to train. That's why I love about these dogs. Very protective too. Although my pup is too smart at times and not food motivated. So he's been frustrating to train. Always testing my patience and his boundaries.

Oil drained, front subframe lowered, pan off, original rod bearings out, new rod bearings installed, suction and return piping installed.
Calling it a day (9.5 hrs) so the Loctite on all the oil piping fasteners can cure overnight, and I'm ready for some couch time.
#7 was the worst, but they were all ugly.
Yes, I drank the scary rod bearing cool aid, and now I'm glad I did.
If anything bad would have happened to this car, they'd have to put me on suicide watch.

Looks interesting

I went hunting for ounces in the front of the car. Got rid of one of the horns and mounted the single horn to the crashbar, allowing me to get rid of the horn bracket, too.
Drilled out the fender liner bracket, and swapped the hood latch hardware for titanium while I was in there.

This car is ready for Mars.

Removed drive shaft yesterday to change the diff pinion seal today.
