Did the oil pan gasket and changed trans fluid, since I was in there. Turns out my motor mounts were shot. Driver's side was sheared clean off. Upgraded to M3 mounts. Mmm
I measured the motor mounts and the engine now sits about 5/16" higher on passenger side and about 3/8" higher on driver's side. I also replaced the other trans mount. With the (somewhat) stock geometry back I think it's easier to shift. Could just be placebo effect, I'll judge later.
What a difference the mounts made! I took it on a quick jaunt and now that busted road up the street isn't so jarring.

Replaced my passenger side window switch module since one of the levers broke off of it. Also found out that my silver cube shifter trim was wrapped in some really janky black "weave" (not even CF) vinyl wrap.. I honestly thought it was Black Cube that the PO installed at some point.
Tore it all off while I was in there. While I do like black around the shifter, the look of the actual trim is much more aesthetically pleasing.
did a few things last night to pass the time. First thing was to line up my new badges on the table to see if I like it or not... im on the fence about it.
the M 235i badge has much larger and more rounded straight font to match the M better size wise.
heres what mine looks like currently on the table with the spacing i planned on using. I may just go with 332i or just ///M liek the M coupes still not sure yet.

Also got my oem connectors for the PDC system so i can plug in the PDC using the OEM retrofit system to go into the fuse box properly and also do the same for my RLS retrofit. there were about 7 i did for the PDC wiring.

I quite like the black badges. I think I like just the 332i, as you said the ///M doesn't quite match the numbers.Quote:

The M seems out of place. Just put 318tii. [emoji1417]
I prefer just the 332i I think (or debadged). Enthusiasts will probably understand the reference given the other aesthetic details on the car.
Audi S4 badge seems more appropriate.Quote:

i will probably roll with it for a little while, there is a local group on facebook in atlanta and their biggest muse is posting up pictures of anything they find that has an M badge on it and posting it up for amusement and to make fun of it. I dont mind trolling them a little :ninja
