What have you done with or to your M3 today?

Bank 2 throttle actuator went out at 98k miles. Replacing both along with the fuel breather valve and idle control valve.

Ordered a do88 oil cooler. I've had good results from the CSF radiator and need the do88 to fit with the Harrop SC equipment. I'd prefer not to have my oil temps dictate my driving, which can be the case in high 90s low 100s in spirited driving plus the Harrop.

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.

While waiting for my 7.5mm spacers to come in I installed my 15mm spacers that I had laying around my house. i went for a drive and didn't notice any unpleasant noises (rubbing) however when I parked I noticed a little marking on my rear tires and some black residue on the portion of the fender that I can fit a finger in. Is it safe to say I'm rubbing? I had an old S4 back in the day that rubbed and it make quite an unpleasant noise so I figured I would hear something if I was rubbing here... To recap that brings the effective offset to et10 with the 15mm spacer with a 285/35/18 tire...I think I am going to back it down to the 7.5mm spacer I have coming in even though I would rather not for aesthetic purposes.

En route to one of the weekly canyons after the Titan TS-5 and ST XTA install as well as an alignment at Chewerks. I went with PS4Ss in 18" staggered setup (265/285) and have the factory recommend dampening on the XTAs. I'll probably firm up the rear 2 clicks and the front 1 on the XTAs but they have performed beautifully so far. Also, the PS4Ss introduce limits that I would say are a bit much for the public road -- I think we have a track build in the near future.

I run a et12 rim with 285/35/18, no spacers, KW clubsport lowered to 10mm lower than ZCP suspension height (I forget the actual number) and I have a very slight rub under full compression at around the 10/2 oclock positions. Not enough to make noise but enough to see a very faint line around the tire. I can live with it for now I can always go back up 10mm if necessary.

Not a bad day for a rip up the mountain. 370 miles of curves, views and ZCP noises.

Love the pics, as a ZCP owner, what are ZCP noises?! lol

Full throttle pulls to redline, rowing through the gears, rev matching downshifts, intake plenum sounds with my flavor of exhaust are what make this platform legendary.

You're funny, what are ZCP noises lol.

But can't a non-ZCP do all of that?

No, it's common knowledge that only ZCP cars have the vaunted S65 engine, go to redline, come in manual transmission, can rev match, have aggressive intake sounds at full throttle and can accept after market exhausts.
