    I think this is what WIBimmers collectively forgets to do before hooking up a compression tester!

    I'm glad to see it was a relatively easy fix! Dropping pans is never that much fun, especially for something of this nature.

        Those thread inserts are excellent.  We used them at the Hormel shop frequently when threaded holes were needed in plastic or UHMW parts so that the threads wouldn't tear out.  They are much better than a helicoil for things that get disassembled frequently, like a drain plug.  Now it will be stronger than new.  Please torque to 150 ft/lbs for science.

                  Nice, the e90 and 92s are like the e36s, can’t go wrong with 2 or 4 doors. The current M4 looks better than the M3 and the new M3 looks better than the M4 (with the exception of the grill).

                        I drove the car every day last week and nobody has given me the finger once yet!  I have some DCT maintenance stuff on hand to change that fluid out, some bushings on order and some exterior parts on order so far. The oil plug repair is holding strong with no signs of any leaking so I feel safe to say that's fixed.

                        I need to do new struts/shocks but still deciding on coilovers vs OEM+ Bilstein set up with my H&R springs.

                          The Bilstein PSS_ setups look like a great Ron Popeill set it and forget it solution but they have very poor corrosion resistance from what I have seen. 
                           

                          great pic!

                            I had Bilstein on my 335i and I really liked them.  The Bilstein's are very nice it's just a matter of spending almost $2k on coilovers vs B8 struts/shocks with my H&R springs.

                                  Minor update that's been annoying the shit out of me.  New emblems!  The flag on the M3 emblem was faded and the front had some minor things going on.  The rear emblem really didn't need it until I took a chunk out taking it off but it made sense to just get all of them right away.PXL20210430174857565.jpgPXL20210430180403337.jpg

                                    I’d say life is pretty good when the problems to be sorted out are some faded badging. That or priorities out of whack 😄

                                        Badge size is different?

                                          Front and rear, yes.  The front is a larger badge and has different size pins on the back so you can't interchange them.
