The M3 is officially gone – sold to a gentleman in Washington. This was probably the best car I’ve owned thus far, with amazingly neutral handling, easy to drift, catch, control, and one of the best motors I’ve ever experienced. The naturally aspirated 414hp V8 pulled strong all the way to its 8300rpm redline, with…
Had a photoshoot for the M3, as I am officially looking to sell it to potentially purchase a condo. Special thanks to the gf for taking the pics. Will be sad to see her go (the m3, not the gf)!
Solid report for the M3 on the 50wt racing oil from Red Line, including 3 track days and 2 autocrosses:
About as late of a “mid-season” update as I can get here. Quite a number of tweaks, changes, and upgrades for the Evo. Not as much for the M3, just some minor tweaks. Evo New upgraded sway-bar endlinks to fix the clunking, especially in the rear Adjustments to alignment (removed preload, later added a touch…
Going back full circle to my first track day at Autobahn South – I ran with the NASA HPDE group again, back from my nightmare scenario with the original brakes setup. Fortunately, I had a problem free 2 days of track where I was able to bring both the Evo & the M3. With NASA’s…
Boeing’s 5th event at Family Arena today. Had hoped the Evo would be ready to test n tune the new diff out, but unfortunately neither the diff nor the new FMIC were ready anyway – which is why it’s always nice to have a “back-up” car. The M3 has been running great, with no issues.…
In an unfortunate sequence of events, SCCA was told at the last minute that our event would be at the North track rather than the South track. They didn’t find out until I arrived on site, otherwise I would not have bothered driving up for it in the first place. Track conditions were poor, as…
Based on the condition of the tires, I decided to bring the M3 in to the shop to make sure everything was still spot on. The tire look brand new flipped & the alignment was a touch off in the front, a bit of toe out there. Zeroe’d out now, and the rear alignment was…
First ever track day in the M3. Had been watching the weather all week, and while it was up and down once the day had arrived it had completely poured. The track was completely wet – not how I wanted to spend my first track day in a RWD car, let alone my M3. The…
Decided it was time to retire all the Panavise mounts I’ve been using – as phones have been getting bigger and longer in size, the Panvise has been more and more unstable in actually keeping my phone in place. I got the Ram mount for the phone holder, and a new GPS unit – the…
