What have you done with or to your M3 today?

Spent a lot of time perfecting the fit/look of this Corsa exhaust (originally E92 fitment) and finally had the tips welded back on today. Really happy with the clean look of the M Performance tips.

Hoping to get some video at some point, but so far the sound of the Corsa paired with the Dinan quad-resonated x-pipe is sublime. Initial impressions versus the Dinan mufflers that came off are that 1) the Corsa is actually quieter which I was surprised at, 2) the Corsa doesn't have a crisp bark like the Dinan on downshifts (probably due to the extra resonators on the Corsa), and 3) the Corsa below 4.5K rpms is really a special sound. I'm having trouble deciding which to keep!

The pilot sport cup 2 is not a semi slick track tire. That would be the cup 2r.

Ah, maybe I got mixed around in the review videos. The cup tire range is kinda samey with the names. Either way, it's way hotter of a tire than I'd expect for an OE that's not a clubsport trim like Porsche GT/BMW GTS

When I asked they had the tires in the size I wanted but refused to sell them to me because they were not the OE tires.

Doing some maintenance today.

-Diff fluid
-Air + Cabin
-Oil change
-Power steering flush with reservoir change
-Brake Flush

Did you ask for the PS4s or the Cup 2s?

ps4s

Walked past it in the garage to throw trash away lol

Replaced my Apex Arc 8's with some Titan 7 TS5's. Overall I am happy with the look. I wasn't sure how I would feel leaving the OEM+ look to go to an all black aftermarket look but I like the change of pace. I am considering running a spacer out back (offset is et25) to push the rears out a bit. Does anyone running Titans have any input on this? In the name of less weight I will likely leave it alone for now but you never know.

P.S. I will be posting my Arcs soon if anyone is interest.

Installed a Seems Legit Aluminum DS and its a lot better than the 2 piece. I recommend it if you don’t want to wait a year for a CF one.

I found this really oddly spec'd F82 M4 today on Carvana.....

I am not sure if they didn't close the hood all the way or if the car has been in a wreck. The left side hood gap looks terrible

They didn't close it all the way… I was shocked at how firmly it needs pushed shut. Damn near feels like the hood will dent with how much it needs to be pressed down

What made you do the switch?

I've run a 12.5mm spacer out back and it looked great and didn't seem to rub. Didn't run it for long though. I'm on kw clubsports at 10mm under ZCP ride height for reference.

I had some vibration from a poor masking job during refinishing so I took the spacers off while troubleshooting. I'm going to run them again after road force balancing my wheels.

I was having the cowbell noise and I wanted to replace the DS, but I didnt want to wait 2 years for the MFactory one or spent $2k on the YCW one. This is a solid DS and for $1,250 its a great piece. Just make sure you install the washer or the bolt on the proper mark from the diff.

What size rear tire do you have? I feel like I don't have an additional 12.5mm to play with. I am lowered on H&R springs (so not crazy low) and I have 285/35/18. I am considering between a 5-10mm spacer. Part of me says leave it alone and the other part of me says I won't be satisfied until I space it just a hair. 18x10.5 et25 isn't a bad fitment by any means but I just feel like it "needs" a bit more.

Same size tire.

That looks good! Thanks for the pics. I'll probably go with a 10mm spacer.

Make sure it is hub centric or you'll have trouble with vibration

My other set of wheels are Kansei KNP and the rears are a 12 offset

Street parked for lunch and while I was gone some homeless dude thought it was a great idea to run into a door. Luckily found a replacement for cheap and was able to swap everything over like nothing happened. Always interesting to see a car in at the half way point.
