Silver is probably one of the hardest colors to make it pop Jacob. It is such a plain looking color that you really have to spend some time detailing it to get it to reflect like glass and show depth. Once detailed though, the car really does look clean[emoji41]Quote:

My M3 has been taking a back seat to everything lately and I have started feeling guilty... the battery on my M3 has not been keeping a good charge and I have had this battery for a long time now (I think about 6 to 7 years now) so I will be sourcing a new battery before taking the car out. I will also need to source a new set of front tires and start scheduling some time to do some maintanence on her... this will require a new GUIBO and centerline bearing swap as well as a valve guide adjustment and some fluid changes.... yes, it is time for another cooling system overhaul so it seems both BMWs will be getting a full cooling system overhaul this Spring....
The battery in the M3 vert I just bought was installed in 2015 by BMW according to the CarFax. I don't know how long the previous owner had it out of storage before I bought it on CarsandBids, but the battery was almost dead when I got it. I threw it on a battery tender for the 200 miles I've was able to drive it, and it's remained on it since I left town 3 weeks ago. 2 of my BMW batteries lasted 11 years miraculously, but just for the peace of mind, I think I'll replace this one mid April when I get back there...Quote:

Pete, I will research the battery to put in my M3. I don't want to shell out $500 for an OEM battery when I can spend around $200 and have the same type of battery. Only difference is that I don't have to program my M3 for the new battery like you have to when you install the new battery...Quote:

https://www.walmart.com/ip/EverStart...0-CCA/20531542
It's just $149.76
This is what I will get.
sweet, thanks for sharing
no problem Pete! :thumbsupQuote:
