Gentlemen,

It is a good Friday indeed because somehow, some way my car just passed emissions! I was going to execute the BMW Drive cycle around 1AM and I really tried to stay awake but couldn't...

Hi John,

Thanks for sharing your experience. I read quite a bit in the forums today and found that some people were successful using an approach similar to yours. I'm going to try the BMW cycle...

Thank for the feedback. I do own the car and it passed inspection 4 years ago when I bought it. I was preparing for possible re-inspection because I may not pass Emissions and as a result, my...

Hello my fellow BMW Brothers and Sisters!

I recently installed racing seats with 6 point harnesses in my 2012 e92 M3. I need to install my stock belts to pass inspection and am wondering if anyone...

A few months (and 12 track days) after changing to solid transmission mounts, I noticed that my transmission mounting bracket broke. I had a race shop reinforce the bracket which will solve the...

Hi John,

Thanks for getting back to me. The frequency of oil changes seems to be one of the most widely varying suggestions I've received; similar to your suggestion of changing oil after every...

Thanks Paul,

I'll probably do the same and add some oil when the warning light comes on. The challenge with my car is how frequently to add oil given that I track the car so much. Now if I had a...

While driving my car home last week, a biker who was following me, flagged me to tell me that he could smell oil burning from my exhaust. I have owned this car for 2 1/2 years and this is the first...

Hi everyone,

I just received my d088 cooling kit for my 2012 e92 m3 - https://www.do88.se/en/artiklar/bmw-m3-e90-e92-big-pack-dkg-dct.html

For the Oil Cooler, I purchased an Oil Diverter Value...

Thank you for sharing your insights. I ended up going with this setup:

Front
Camber -2.7
Total Toe 0.9

Rear
Camber -1.8
Total Toe .21

Hello everyone, I am writing to ask for suggestions on camber settings for my track/street e92 M3. I'm trying to find a good balance between track performance and not destroying my street tires. Some...

Thanks Paul,

Where do I find "m3post"?

Hello everyone,

I own a 2012 e92 M3 and have been exploring options for coaxing more power out of the S65 power plant. I've looked into Super chargers but am not ready to make that investment just...

Bought a new pair.

You're welcome, I'll let you know when the next one is.

We will get there around 5:30.

If you need to get a hold of me, my cell number is: 703-625-6918.

I do not know him or have seen that car but it sounds cool. I organize informal social events with some of the guys in the car club and would be happy to invite yourself or other folks (like him) if...

Thanks, I'll check with uHaul as well. Would love to check out your setup once you have it ready. A good friend who also happens to be a BMW tech said that the V6 X5 wouldn't have any issues in terms...

Thanks Joey, this is really helpful. I didn't go to that DIY event so it wasn't me that you spoke with but thanks for sharing your thoughts on the topic.

Aesthetically, I like the older...

I read that thread also and like you, thought that the writer was referring to the middle plastic piece. Talking with a couple of guys who race a lot more than me, I was told that I really don't need...

Thanks James,

I will certainly keep this in mind when, undoubtedly I will have to replace them again in the near future.

Your assumption regarding what EMI means is certainly reasonable and I...

I found a local welder who thinks he could make them from aluminum but would charge about $300 for the pair. Of course, BMW would not give me a straight answer as to why I even need them and they...

Thanks Paul - It's about $190 to replace both sides. I've read in a bunch of forums that this is a common problem, particularly if you car is lowered. The only saving grace I have is that I don't...

Thanks John, the responsible voice in me says the same thing.

While driving my 2012 M3 ZCP the other day, I heard a lot of scraping coming from the front bumper. After inspecting behind the splitters, I noticed these two black felt things that worn torn badly...
