The E46 M3 Journal

Oil and filter change. LM 10w60 & mann filter.
Added some new pilot sports 4S in the rears mid summer. Put a lot of miles in this thing while the wagon was under the knife. Love this car!!

M3 time!!
New cross drilled and slotted CSL front rotors, crossed drilled and slotted rear rotors, new front PFC pads, pulled poly RTABS and replaced with OEM BMW, alignment, avant radio installed and driver's side ignitor.

Wow, I had dismissed the Avant head unit figuring it was just another android auto type touchscreen radio, all of which are neat but not a huge advantage over a phone and an aux input cable. Seeing how that has the OBC built in is really cool! The stock nav system/radio feels like something out of a prototype car. Half of the buttons don’t do anything, and whatever functionality remains is pretty limited.

Looking very nice

Android auto and Apple Carplay are worth it. I'm tempted to update my HU in the M3 just to have that. It's so nice to have in my truck!
-
I've been very interested in those head units for cars I don't have
seems like a great way to modernize the car while appearing stock. What was your complaint with the poly Rtabs?
They were just too loud. I'm going to stock shock mounts as well. Thing sounds like it is rattling loose when it is super cold out.

Chasing a rough idle so I got my injectors flowed and cleaned. They are flowing great and I threw in some new filter baskets while I had them out. Didn't solve the problem. Next up is cleaning the ICV & throttle bodies.
Installed some 2006 M6 heated front seats. Need to wire up the new-to-me heated seat buttons and then I'm golden! The M3 will see some winter duty while the wagon is under the knife

I can’t believe those fit in the backseat of the M3 lol. Those are going to be such a sweet upgrade going into winter, nice find!
-
So rough idle was due to a bad serpentine belt. A new belt, fan and fan clutch later I was back on the road!
Mike installed new control arms, poly lollipops, new inner & outer tierods, power steering line, new steering wheel, wired up heated seats, new head light adjuster & mount and getting an alignment tomorrow.

In a world of annoyingly gaudy steering wheel modifications you have done a proper steering wheel.
For this I thank you!
It looks quite nice!Did you have to send yours in and be without car for a month or two?

Thanks! Lol
I have a couple of m-sport steering wheels so I had a back up. With that being said, anyone looking for a wheel? Lol. I have 3, 1 smg, 2 e39/e46 manual wheels

The car still pulls to the right a bit. We'll replace the calipers next and take it from there. Really need to be able to text and drive with work and with this pull, it isn't ideal. Tires might be to blame too.
Cooling, 3rd pedal, clutch/flywheel, 4.10 wavetrac and boost bits incoming! Stay tuned!
