What have you done with or to your M3 today?

Recently downsized the fleet. Sold my X5M this past January, and all 3 of my E46 M3's in the last 2 months as well.

Hi, no. I did a BBK retrofit both front and rear. The truth is that I'm very happy with the result, several days on the track and intensive use and at no time have I felt the brakes falter

Behind it I have porsche 997 Carrera 4s calipers and 370mm M4 F80 rotor. I bought the calipers on ebay (germany).
I leave the link to my thread with everything more detailed if it may interest you. Any questions I will be very kind to answer you

the rear brackets were made by your mechanic?

Swapped out my HREs to get them refinished for a new look before taking the car to the shop for a supercharger install.

Now all 3 of my e92 M3's are there LOL how expected :

Basically swapping the VF650 kit off my 6spd 11' Lemans blue (seen in the back with silver ZCPs) into the Frozen Gray.

Yes, I feel the brake pedal much more consistent throughout the route


Yes, but surely any turner could make one

Got called the N word in my M when I decided to take a nice Sunday evening drive (somwhere around Pasadena, MD for any DMV locals) and was cut off aggressively by some dude in a pickup truck in front of me. Assuming he didn't see me coming I drove around him. He then proceeded to tailgate me for about a mile or two on the highway. Being the troll I am I figured if this fucker wants to tailgate me I might as well go 15 MPH on the freeway until he gets bored or overcome with emotion. (He leaned towards the latter, very emotional man.)

Well as we both exited the highway onto a residential street he decided to speed up in-front of me and cut me off again. This time slamming on the breaks in an attempt to make me crash into the back of him. Luckily I swerved and avoided him then got in-front of him to avoid another attempt.

We then pulled up next to each-other at the following light which is when it got interesting.

He pulled up beside me and blurted out "You f**king N****r".

As soon as he said that I laughed to myself and pulled out my camera. Of course he then refused to repeat what he had just said. Kicking myself for not pulling the camera out earlier.. Though I attempted to bait him into saying it again, he avoided it but made some more comments then drove off after he noticed I filmed his MHIC. Like a true "pussy"..

Here's the video (link below) of the interaction along with some good info on his company posted all over his dusty ass truck.

There has been some talks on her about dash cams. Might be a good idea to purchase one had I had the misfortune of not missing him when he cut me off, twice, I may be SOL and/or in jail for stomping this bitches head off the pavement.

Been mulling over an iDrive delete since I got the car last year. Well...

Seems like a great solution. Thank you for sharing with us and offering to answer questions.




Are you able to share the measurements/specifications of the brackets?

No CarPlay for you!

Well, I would have to talk to him, since in that I have no idea how he did it. I just ask you for a little patience

Am I the only one that thinks the interior looks far more dated without the iDrive screen? Adding CarPlay just seals the deal.

Freiheit wrote

I wouldn't say dated, but I'm so used to having the screen there that the car seems incomplete without it. Maybe its because the E9x screen is so minimal compared to the dash tablets that are in vehicles today.

As far as CarPlay goes, I'm not a fan of TbT Nav or having climate controls on a screen, and I don't need Messages popping up there either, so there's really nothing I'd want from Apple (or Android for that matter). The only thing I wish is that I could get album art on my screen, nothing else.

Oh yeah, I wish I could turn down the ring alert on my car. I can be ripping along the highway at 80mph with the windows down and when the phone rings, it goes through the stereo and its so loud I jump.

Iyzmi wrote

The CIC widescreen looks fairly modern and CarPlay freshens up the graphics and adds tons of functionality. Climate controls are not part of ACP, no change there. I don't use TbT directions often but having Waze up on the screen for police alerts is very nice. The music app controls and album art are also welcome upgrades that modernize the car.

Freiheit wrote

I wouldn't want Waze anywhere near me, due to the privacy leaks that come with having anything installed from Facebook. The album art update would be awesome, I admit, but I tried to install CarPlay in two of my other vehicles and it wanted me to activate Siri. I'm not a fan so that ended right there.

Waze is owned by Google, but I mean if that's the type of stuff that keeps you up then so be it. I, for one, welcome our robot overlords.
