In a few weeks I will be sending my M3 to the shop for a few weeks to get the following things accomplished:

- GUIBO/Center line bearing replacement
- VANOS rebuild
- Cooling System overhaul (replace all associated cooling system hoses, radiator, thermostat, water pump, expansion tank and hard lines)
- Rod Bearing Maintenance
- Motor/transmission mount replacement
- Valve guide adjustment maintenance

Once complete my M3 will be set for the 2024 car season

I know it's been awhile, but not doing your own repairs?

You might want to give me a little slack based on what I am currently going thru . . . check your Facebook messenger text from me.

My M3 is on deck for the following maintenance:

- GUIBO/Center line bearing replacement
- VANOS rebuild
- Cooling System refresh (replace radiator, thermostat, water pump, upper and lower radiator hoses, expansion tank and associated cooling system sensors)
- Rod Bearing Maintenance
- Valve guide adjustment maintenance

I will be scheduling this as soon as I pick up my ZHP from the shop this week.

EDIT: My M3 will be going into the shop for the above mentioned work next Wednesday (12th).

Tomorrow my M3 is will be going in for the following maintenance:

- GUIBO/Center line bearing replacement
- VANOS rebuild
- Cooling System refresh (replace radiator, expansion tank, thermostat, water pump, upper and lower radiator hoses, associated cooling system sensors and fan clutch - new fan blade on hand)
- Rod Bearing Maintenance
- Valve guide adjustment maintenance
- Install my AutoSolutions SSK
- possibly replace my Section 1 exhaust section

I have a healthy list of work to be done which will set my M3 up for the rest of the 2024 car season then all I will need are new Hankook Ventus V12 tires before driving my M3 to Florida where it will reside . . .

To finish off my maintenance, I got a 4-wheel alignment done to make sure my M3 was completely set up for it's drive to Florida.

The AutoSolutions ssk I purchased from Hieu a few years ago has finally been installed and is amazing! This shifter makes rowing thru the gears so much fun when driving my M3 and puts smiles on my face

My mechanic told me my M3's condition was comparable to other M3's that had 30k miles on them.

This is my current mileage. Having proper maintenance performed on a yearly basis help to ensure these cars are kept in excellent condition and ensure years of fun enjoyable driving
