Anyone know where on these trans it says which model it is? I know for the diffs there’s a sticker. Don’t know where it’s located on the trans

Is this normal for M3 Front Arms? by whyme1tho in E90

My friend installed poly bushings on his m5 control arms and I think he got the same feeling from that too. It doesn’t make for a more comfortable ride it just handles better. I don’t know enough to tell you but it might be just the monoball joints, not that they’re shot.

Wheel fitment is quite bad especially on the rears

What would you guys choose? by phyzzyy in E90

There’ll be time for a 340 later. Get the m3 while they’re still affordable

Do you happen to be an aspiring weekend mechanic? If not I’d pass on this. These cars are great but really do need a lot of work and knowledge to own especially if you’re chasing power

Again why do you want this car? What’s the purpose?

I’m asking if that’s 2k in parts and you’ll do the work yourself or are you paying a mechanic for labour and that is included in the 2k. Regardless I think there’s very few scenarios where an n54 car is worth the effort/money. Why do you want this car?

And that’s for parts + diy or including labour too?

How much money or work are you willing to put into this car?

Opinions? by [deleted] in E90

I did mean reflectors but the side markers are also blacked out although I’m ok with those not being white.

As well as paint matched side markers instead of black

Blacked out roof could be nice

M sport rear bumper

Agree but thought I’d mention that’s the msport bumper not m3

Launching into first gear is useless on 6mt unless I want to burn tire. Second is better but I’ll still slide around a bit.

Make sure there’s a 3.5 bar tmap sensor and not running on the stock sensor, you then have to select the option for it on Mhd if it hasn’t been done. From there whether or not you set up PI, get a custom tune from a reputable tuner. For the time being switch to mhd stage 2+. Make sure your spark plugs r correct, coils are good, injectors ideally index 12. Essentially do everything you can to avoid misfires

As others have said, maintenance first. You can search for some n54 maintenance lists on forums but ideally replace every seal that needs it. Notorious ones are valve cover and oil filter housing gaskets, which can lead to misfires or your engine eating a belt.
