Very stupid (or unlucky) M3 owner

Hello there fellow M3-ers

So, I'll save you the back story but the end result was that I left the drivers door to my brand spanking new G81 open last night, on the first effing day that we have had rainfall in this part of the UK for over two months!!!! Quite.bloody.typical.

End result, damp car. It didnt rain especially hard or long, but long enough for the seat and door panels to get damp and the carpet in the drivers side to become wet. We arent talking loads but the carpets in the foot wells on the drivers side and the rear passenger side are, well, moist. There is no standing water.

I have removed the floor mats, opened all windows and the boot. It is very breezy today and warm so I'm hopeful that this will remove most if not all the moisture and I'm not expecting any other rain until later tonight and almost none tomorrow so the doors can be left open for a long period.

Would someone a. let me know if there is anything specific that I need to do and b. help me stop worrying that I have done something hideous and long lasting to the car.

Yours, idiotically

What to upgrade to?

So I got a 2019 stage 1+ rs3 on bilstein b16. I will tell you what to not upgrade to is the g80 m3. Thing was not as fast as I thought it would be and felt extremely bloated and is definitely not worth the nearly 50k price difference. Any tips that aren’t Porsche? I’m down to spend up to 100k but for me to spend that it’s gotta blow my rs3 out of the water by every metric

Pretty special build. 2003 M3, 6-speed, S54, only 2,780 lbs, and too much money put into turning it into a proper race car.

Help on f82 m4

Need some help on deciding on a purchase. Looking at a 2017 f82 m4 black on black as a Canadian for 35k CAD (25k usd) car has 105k km with a 9k Carfax for a sideswipe.

Got an inspection and everything came out clean, however the seller had no idea that this car was heavily modified with upgraded Vargas CG turbos due to him not driving it much as he was an older man and previous owner did the mods.

I will post the report below. I am not sure what to make of this, i know the price is strong (Canadian market is cheaper however) but my biggest concern is how reliable this car will be considering the modifications. Crankhub not done, i will budget that into consideration. I’m essentially looking for some guidance here as I’ve been stoked for an s55 and this one in particular. However learning about the upgraded turbos and other mods discouraged me due to now I’m basically forced to do the crankhub rather than it being less urgent before.

Hopefully some of you can give me some honest feedback and help me be more confident about my decision.

Thank you!

Thoughts on 2024 G8 CS xDrive

Hello everyone,

Would the minor damage on Carfax keep you from moving forward with a purchase on this 2024 M3?

Thank you!

2024 M3 comp xdrive market value?

Looking for some opinions from people familiar with the current M3 market. What would you consider a good/fair purchase price for a 2024 BMW M3 Competition xDrive with a little over 6,000 miles?

The dealer originally had it listed around $89K, then dropped it about $3K, and just recently dropped it another $2K. I’m trying to figure out what the car is actually worth in today’s market versus just going off their asking price.

For those who have bought or shopped similar low-mileage G80s recently, what would you consider a good deal on this car? Where would you expect the actual market value to be?

I’m also considering ordering a new M3 comp RWD, so I’m trying to determine how much of a discount a 2024 with 6K+ miles should realistically have versus buying new. Appreciate it.

Rbg or yellow DrL

Yo guys, I got a question. I have a 2027 BMW M3 Dravit Grey. It’s coming together very nicely. Just got some front-mount intake bits. Now I was thinking about changing my headlights. Should I get yellow DRL or RGB? Let me know, and if you guys have a good website I could use to buy them off of, let me know.

BMW M3 F80 Diff Lock Wiring diagram for building GHAS style control module.

Hello, I want to build a GHAS-style module to control the differential lock motor in an M3 F80. I've installed the entire rear suspension from an M3 F80, plus the front steering knuckles with wishbones, plus original M3 F80 brakes, plus the MK60 ABS module, into a Mercedes W201 190e (5.0 M113 engine, 8H45 gearbox, MaxxECU). I know the motor can be adjusted manually with a standard PWM controller, but I'd prefer it to work more or less like the M3 F80, i.e., automatically with manual lock adjustment.

I just need the motor connector pinout so I know which pin it's for. Of course, I could buy a 500GB hard drive and download the entire ISTA+, but I'd be a bit disappointed if I only need one document. If someone could share this document with me, I'd be very grateful. Best regards🖐️
