What did you do to your F3X today?

_bdiddyb_ · 07-19-2018, 12:32 AM

Level UP! ER downpipe + BM3 Stage2

speary8 · 07-19-2018, 07:20 AM

Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light applied. Carbon rear diffuser and mirror caps

bdmac97 · 07-19-2018, 08:38 PM

Got my car back a day early! All seems well. Replaced radiator fan and coolant line.

s3ri3s1 · 07-19-2018, 10:16 PM

added coilovers

jh_f30 · 07-20-2018, 04:54 AM

Wash, clay bar, wax.

MSCD · 07-20-2018, 06:41 AM

Parked safely at the station - apparently this just happened- looks like everyone was ok. Euro delivery plate on the M3 by the looks of it.

MacklinUSOB · 07-20-2018, 08:08 AM

I had F80 control arms installed and the ride height raised about 1/2". It is now nearly max setting for KW V2's.

Improvements are very noticeable on my twisty backroads commute. Understeer is much harder to find, steering feel has improved, and turn in is sharp as a scalpel. Have a track day @ Lime Rock on Monday to where I am anxious to see the benefits most.

What happened to that poor Bimmer is indeed a tragedy...

...those red wheels are hideous.

I wasn't there to see the impact. My guess is the Altima was letting a car turn into the lot and the M3 wasn't expecting the car to slow/ Stop.

Yes I'm not a huge fan of YMB but the wheels are unfortunate.

Shame for both drivers, but that's why it's an accident. Looked like everyone was ok though.

Anddddd done for now!

Ac9215 · 07-20-2018, 07:48 PM

Today,

@55k miles
2013 BMW 335i 6MT

-oil change with Liqui-Moly 5w40 (with ECS magnetic drain plug) 7qts
-tranny drain and fill with Redline MTL: 2 quarts (took about 1.5 bottles)
-rear differential drain and fill (only has “fill plug”) Redline 75w85 (spoke to rep at Redline about it because I was going to go with the popular 75w90
-coolant flush (BMW OEM coolant)

Took it at M-Tech Autocare, go see EJ, this dude is legit and knows exactly what he’s doing. Read his profile on YELP and talk to him.

My original trim is gloss piano black. Dust and fingerprint magnet, and I sometimes caught a wicked glare off it in the sun.

Of the roll I got, I used less than half. I'd guess 2-2.5 feet? Because it's so wide and the trim pieces are all pretty thin, the width is enough to to cover a couple pieces.

Not that good a pics I know, but unfortunately it rained as I was getting my new wheels and tires installed today. Grabbed a couple quick shots.

What brands did you go with? And from where was it not fitting properly?

How did you get the airbag decal delete? Did you just replace the part?

Not sure of the brand. Both were bowed to the point it would take trying to force it into place which would of caused it to most likely snap and break. One was off eBay and the other was from an actual website. eBay one wasn't even close and the second one I just tried was really close, but didn't quite make it. Still bowed and the ends we're short.

Picked her up after CQuartz ceramic coating...

So shiny!

Rubbing alcohol, microfiber, and some very sore thumbs.
