If you wash your car and there aren't any pics, did the washing even occur?

Bunch of things over the last week: new battery, replaced brake pads and rotors, applied Bimmian ///M colored stickers to the grille, painted the lower grille semi-gloss black, fixed the derailed sunshade, and coded off the auto-lock feature and ambient temperature warning at 37F. Details here.

EDIT: @terraphantm, I look forward to your guide on all of that!

I got the same E46 M3 mounts. It was just enough of a change to make it feel like my E30 did when at idle, like there was actually some kind of a life force up front instead of it being totally numb. I really like it even to this day.

The m3 mounts made a huge difference, the car is my daily driver but I bet tracking the car would be lots of fun. I drive about 30k miles a year too. Next are m3 tranny mounts[emoji41]

My trans and motor mounts were completely separated at 130k. Driveline was basically flopping around.

Keep that in mind when you think your roads in your area are bad... Lol :(

Finished brake job on the 323 and put on the PSS10's I picked up from e46f a few weeks ago. Setting on 2 is a little more firm than the PSS I had on before which are now going on the wife's ZHP. Setting on 10 is not as harsh as I was expecting.

I'm installing M3 engine and tranny mounts next weekend! Can't wait to see the difference.

Today I installed a passenger seat mat sensor bypass. Quick installation and seems to work great. Glad to clear out the christmas tree on my dash.
