haha, i was watching that wheel on TM too. Mean score!
-
Its one of these IIRC. Cant remember which one though.
-
Evo sunflowers. I prefer the pre-evo ones (im a little bias as i have them on my M3) like Brent is selling, the motorsport printing really makes a difference. As per above, let me know if you want this post removed.
-
Theyre from an early Pre-Evo M3. Only the evo got staggered wheels, and the evo sunflowers look different (slightly different spoke design, different centers, and no BMW MOTORSPORT cast in the center).
-
i cant imagine it will be on there for more than a few days at that price. When was the last time you saw a genuine E34 M5 on TM?
-
Holy sh*t, this would be in my ownership had this been around a month ago!
-
is that the block and socket? What did you do about rotating the crank, do you have that weird socket that goes over the four bolts?
-
They take longer to get to operating temperature, can sludge, and can carbon up. Just to name a couple of reason why idling for long periods is bad.
-
Just throwing KM on the M3, love driving it. Starting to prep and purchase things i require to rebuild the vanos. Looking to do it over queens birthday weekend, and will be using Beisan seals and rattle kit. Should be mint!
-
Welcome. Car look in pretty good shape. Love the photos too, what are you taking them with? I know the feels about the factory jack. The E36 one is sketchy as f**k, youre extremely lucky to have the wheel on when it failed! I have sent you a PM regarding your fog lights.

This wont damage the ball joint. Its a well tried and true method.
-
Not the one that used to have the WOTT plates on it, was it?
-
claybar does not equal wax. Get it waxed properly or risk paint damage/fading.
-
Oh god, you werent kidding?! Get it waxed, properly.
-
Once you go genuine, you never go back.

Last time i did my front arms my fork did not work. What did work was using a blowtorch from bunnings, and heating the hub around where the ball joint goes through, and then hitting the hub (same place you heated) with a hammer until the ball joint just pops out. Worked a treat (just remember ear plugs). E: corrected term from arm to hub.

Those splitters look good, also interested to know which you went with. A quick check of your VIN confirms it was not factory specced with a sunroof. Yours is a couple of months older than mine, but other than the non-smoker package option it is identical. http://www.bmwarchive.org/vin/ea66308.pdf

Oh wow, he also has a Lancia Delta Integrale for sale. Just a little jealous of his collection! That M3 is gorgeous, very nice condition. Whats an E30 M3 usually worth?
-
Where did you get the anycar from? This might be a valid option to replace my well aged Alpine headunit.
-
You need less potatovision, doesnt really do the cars the justice im sure they deserve. Thats a great lineup!

I read the original post, im just clarifying that even with resonators you can get a drone. If the cats are OK and not blocked i dont see the point in removing them. The increase in noise wont be too substantial. Also, my car does smell a bit from the exhaust, more so when cold (due to cold start enrichment). I dont mind it, just smells like burnt fuel. Cant notice it when the engine is warm unless backing up with windows down (and then its only a hint of exhaust). I wouldnt worry to much. Mine will be made worse by having no O2 sensors and overfuelling.

My M3 has resonators replacing the cats. Sounds great, but at 100KPH it does have a drone (thanks to sitting at just under 3000RPM). If you do pull them out, do replace them with resonators as itll just keep the sound much more refined.
