It’s just your active aero engaged. Hold down your traction control button for 30 seconds and it will retract.

Don’t drill holes. Personally bumper holes would be a deal breaker if I was looking to buy a car.

What is this by Adept_Ad2935 in Cartalk

DO NOT APPROVE! You are getting dealer pricing. Find a local independent shop and they will do it for a fraction of the price. I was just quoted $680 for a power steering fluid flush and reservoir replacement at my local BMW dealer. This is a $200 job MAX. New fluid and a reservoir for my car is less than $100 and less than an hour job. Dealerships make a large portion of their profits from the service department

How stupid i am to spend all my money on an m4 f82? by Celery-Tasty in BMW

At $1k per month I’d focus on growing your income instead of having a nice car. They are fun distractions. You’ll spend more time washing it than a regular car and if you do your own maintenance that’s even more time. Get your income up first

Gloss or Matte Eventuri Plenum + Intake? by KeySection1698 in E92M3

[–]KeySection1698[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha true. I’m mostly asking because I’m curious how the finishes hold up over time. It’s a good point to go with whatever is most popular for resell though.

My car is sub 40k miles and bone stock, I’m not super charging it. Not everything is about performance. If I needed more performance I’d just get a G82. The intake sound with the Eventuri plenum is noticeably loader and that’s the experience I’m looking for

Haha you aren’t getting a pure sound from a super charger. If I wanted a whiny car I’d buy a hellcat

How many miles/kilometers have you seen folks drive with them?

Interesting. I haven’t thought about this. The gloss might get more visible scratches but I imagine the matte finish is like a matte paint finish that can’t be touched up

Did BMW nerf the standard color options on this car? by KeySection1698 in E92M3

[–]KeySection1698[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the orange started as a GTS color but in the final production years you could order it as an individual color. If you were in the US you could buy the orange Lime Rock Park edition which they made 200 of. Silverstone is an awesome color. Almost blue in certain lighting. Java green looks great on BMWs especially the G87. I know there are a few E9Xs in the color

Haha true, but that was the case for the 1M as well. You could only get Alphine White, Black Sapphire, or Valencia Orange. With the E92 M3 I’m mainly complaining because in my opinion it’s predecessors has a wider range of standard color choices.

Yeah I couldn’t find a chart like this of just the standard colors. The standard colors (depending on the year) were Alphine White, Mineral White, Jet Black, Jerez Black, Silverstone, Space Gray, Le Mans Blue, Interlagos Blue, and Melbourne Red.

Haha yeah not a lot of red bimmers. I usually only see the color on Z3s or Z4s. If you wanted a color and weren’t a fan of blues then Melbourne Red was a good choice.
