What did you do to your M3/M4 today?

G80_GuyGuy · 08-06-2021, 07:10 PM

Added 70% Ceramic tint all the way around except windshield. Can't tell the windows are tinted but only wanted them for function.

G80BSM · 08-07-2021, 12:15 AM

Took a picture because It’s been a while!

TigahRouge · 08-08-2021, 10:31 PM

I had errands to do today. 😜

Light projectors and floating centre caps.

Used the 3M tape method to remove existing centre caps- so no wheel removal needed 😀

Thanks. I looked into it and I believe these won’t fit on my car with the 19” 826M wheels. It says those are for 56mm size caps and my wheels appear to be 57mm

I have the same wheels as you and those are the ones I ordered based off of the OEM part number although my car isn't here yet.

I have the standard fit wheels in 826M bicolour and 56mm is the correct size, part number 36122455268

I ordered on eBay from an official OEM supplier in asia region, but I know IND has them as well.

Thanks…maybe I looked at the wrong thing on the bmw accessory website and ecstuning they both said does not fit on my car. I am definitely going to order a set!

Ordered a catless DP (redstar) from Russia. Should be here in month or so. And BMC air filter.

Some weighted action…..love this thing

FITM3NT · 08-13-2021, 10:13 PM

Installed IND paint matched front reflectors.

For those that intend to do this, I would highly recommend that you unscrew these 3 screw in yellow. You're going to want that slight extra room to slowly pry the reflectors. With out removing its near impossible to pull the top of the reflector off or remove the stuck adhesive.

Also, take as much time possible to heat, pry, heat, pry to making sure you don't deform the bumper or damage the paint.

Looks good! Those wheels are one of the best OEM designs ever.

Pantagathus · 08-15-2021, 11:56 AM

Spent a couple of hours cleaning and putting multiple layers of ceramic coating on my wheels, followed up by sealing with a silica formula to try and make the wheels extremely slick and keep brake dust of them... AAAAAAAAAND it's gone.

Thought I'd have one last attempt at a longer term solution to the wheels getting filthy straight away. Lasted about 2 miles.

rmmiii · 08-15-2021, 02:05 PM

Given title of this thread here goes:

I have a long way to go before 1200 miles, so I am inventing reasons to drive.

I am driving from chicago to st Charles today because my wife has decided maybe it is time to flee the city to the burbs.

I used the back up assistant for the first time getting out of my garage into my alley. That is a slick feature that did better than I do at navigating my wife's car, the garage wall, and the dumpsters across the street. Once I figured out how to activate it, it was also shockingly easy to activate.

I used the traffic jam assistant because the Kennedy to o'hare is a construction and therefore traffic mess. That, too, is slick. Unlike my wife's Tesla which requires you to nudge the steering wheel from time to time, the bmw basically just drives, as long as you stay below 40. Tesla auto drive is a bit less twitchy within your lane, but the bmw system seems to do a better job of accelerating and decelerating gently.

I also gotta say I debated turning gesture control off when I drove off the dealer lot. It is growing on me. Volume up/down and skip right or left are pretty intuitive. Still might turn it off later as there are also, of course, buttons to accomplish the same task.

I saw my first g82 competition in the wild - São Paulo yellow is wild! We said hi going 80 on i90.

Lastly, I really need to get the thing on the track. I drove it yesterday on the north shore on the 2 roads closest to my house with good pavement and curves. To have any fun, I would end up in jail. The thing sticks to the pavement too well!

Autobahn cc circa late September, here I come.
