    It has been awhile since I gave an update.  Lots has been happening! Popped on an Active Autowerks supercharger, 4.10 gears with a drexler LSD, CSL King Pins and new bearings, CSL steering rack and all new power steering lines and reservoir, replaced the cam bolts and did a valve adjustment (2 were out of spec), valve cover gasket, manual swap with a JB Racing lightweight flywheel and HD Sach clutch, ZHP shift knob and a short shifter, and turned 200k miles on the car (motor probably has 130k-ish on it), and some 18" Apex wheels wrapped in PS4s 245 front, 275 rears.

    Your insurance company (and all other drivers on the road) would like to speak with you.

    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!

    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?

    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.

    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!

    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 💯😲

    Eventuri intake installed. Left the fog light ducting out as I don't have an M5 bumper yet. 
    Been driving this a ton!  Some fun goodies should be arriving in the next month.  Stay tuned!! 🤪

    Had BMW Milwaukee North Body Shop install and paint new oem BMW rear glass and rear hatch.  Also, added a carbon fiber spoiler. 
    Popped on some Pilot Sport 4S but ordered 255 rears instead of 275.  Well, popped a rear tire on Mother's day with the family so I fortunately got to get the 275 rears mounted!  The Mobile Tire Pit Crew is the JAM!  They come to your house and mount and balance on their truck.  Worth every penny!
    Wagon is running great!  Pumping gas weekly, topping off oil biweekly and smiling daily 😄
