Been a long week! Picked up the car last weekend.
RR wheel bearing
Detail
Reattached rear view mirror
Repaired a small chip in the windshield
Installed a fresh new wing (original replica.)
Removed the CDV (good god why did they do this? I thought the clutch was bad when getting on the highway for the first time)
M50 intake manifold
Happy to be back in a BMW, and blessed to have been able to purchase a well maintained car from my brother for a great price.

New center caps, muffler rubber hangers, jack pad, and underbody plastic piece aft of rear jack pad.

Magnaflow exact fit high flow cats.
Nothing actually wrong with my factory cats but I have completely run out of "bolt-ons" LOL... I figure it can't hurt, and the "federal" version I ordered actually has more substantial h-pipe than factory and... Uhm shiny?
Now that I have spent about a decade doing every single bolt on and taking the sound system to eleven i am at a loss...
I think I have to finally try out FI... The AA stage 2 supercharger is the most likely candidate for this year... I am really not a fan of the way turbos feel (or sound) so I'm thinking I can keep the throttle feel and still bump up the power.

I use my new Motive bleeder to flush out the brakes. The brake is still a bit light on initial press, but firms up after. Is this the same feel as other owners?
I also accidentally busted a hole into the sheetmetal that holds the air diverter for the rear wheel. There's a noticeable amount of cosmetic rust, and it's taken a toll on some of the underbody.

The buttons are not currently connected, but the slip ring is wired up and once I get a CD43 should work to control the radio.

Dyno time LOL

I bought a full set of soft brake lines for my M3. I found out the rear outer soft line was rubbing against the drive axle boot. This meant a panic slowdown on the freeway resulted in a brake pedal sinking to the floor.

About to put in a full SuperSprint Euro Exhaust on my M3 (Headers, X-pipe, Muffler). Really excited to get rid of the shorty headers.
24lb injectors and some new spark plugs.

AA Stage 3 Supercharger kit.
Member
AA diff support bracket!
The supercharger torque is scary (compared to NA) so I would rather be safe than sorry... Tempted to get up rated axles next... I am not in the habit of dumping the clutch but... there's always a weakest link LOL

Some Michelin Pilot Sport 4 All Seasons... The 4S are slippery in cold weather.
I used to put real winter tires on her when I threw on the hard top but I never drive it in real winter except an occasional run around the block on a fourty below dry day to exercise the rubber bits and circulate the oil. I stick to the E83 X3 6 speed on Blizzaks when there's snow or salt on the road.

Dyno time (again)... Results posted in the dyno sheet post.

I just got custom Koozies for myself and my team as I'm a head driver of truck and it lets me to keep water cool. I have been aware of magnetic beer Koozies too and might be replacing it with custom Koozies.

This low-miler decided to snap it's clutch pedal spring bracket! Wanted free shipping so ordered some door handle gaskets and a filter kit. Now all I have to do is install 'em!
