Turn Signals Optional: Gberg’s M3
I’m sure I said something about how I wash the car to keep it maintained. It’s just a cheap karcher pressure washer BUT I bought the accessories and whatnot from obsessed garage so it’s set up for flow, not pressure. It’s not some crazy powerful gas pressure washer.
Right? I guess because the pillars aren’t wrapped they can lift? Seriously never seen people having issues with this on any of the boards.
He does a lot of Teslas so maybe that was a red flag.
But really, you’re missing out. It’s so much better. You don’t have to spend big bucks either. I didn’t.
Thankfully there aren’t any razor marks. I’d lose my shit if that were the case.

I used the pressure washer on all the cars today to wash the pollen off. It's pretty rare I physically touch a car with a sponge anymore. Most of the time a rinse, Obsessed Garage foam cannon, and another rinse are as good or better than a touch less wash and I can do both cars in about 5mins.

It’s so much better and faster.
Break in service complete. Idle is definitely smoother but the car was still a little warm so we'll see how it is tonight after it's been sitting all day.
Spoke to the genius again and he walked me through how to code the lasers on an M8 in the showroom. I'll order the obd2 adapter and buy bimmercode so I can always redo it when the car updates. Recoding the ambient lighting looks a bit more complicated. Way more things to change that don't look like simple toggles.

They are.
I think they look great but I never considered them because they're a $4500 option. I'm probably too for them anyway and there's no way the wife will want to climb over those thigh bolsters getting in and out of the car.

No one is DD'ing an M3 Unless of course you're made of money. That said I am pretty sure I had em on the track and I don't remember them being super uncomfortable if anything they were quite nice. Similar to the porsche buckets... Hmmm But that was 2 years ago..
I've seen some posts with people complaining that their left leg rubs the crotch hump with a . It's really hit or miss. If you can find one on a lot that has them, try it. If not, I don't think it's a big deal.max225 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 03, 2024 11:54 amNo one is DD'ing an M3 Unless of course you're made of money.

Also think about when your is old enough and kicking the back of them. You're gonna need to PPF the seatbacks.

Yea I was young and foolish once. I also DD'ed a C5
I do. Was just curious as I'm sure a lot of them have had it done.
This ppf guy had great reviews too.
