Tomorrow my M3 is will be going in for the following maintenance:
- GUIBO/Center line bearing replacement
- Cooling System overhaul (replace radiator, expansion tank, various coolant hoses, thermostat, water pump, associated cooling system sensors and fan clutch - new fan blade on hand)
- Valve guide adjustment maintenance
- Install my UUC EVO 3 SSK I purchased from Hieu in 2012
- 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 UUC EVO3 ssk I purchased from Hieu many 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 lots of 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

For my M3 I ordered the Titan Shadow lower steering wheel trim, a set of A-Pillar airbag cover strips, and 6 DINAN N-Series Performance Ignition coils to complete my work on the M3 for 2024 season.
Next, once I get back my Porsche from its current maintenance and upgrading period, will be my M3 to have a brand new carbon fiber roof panel installed so no more sun roof for this ride. Pictures will be taken when completed sometime this month. Summer 2024 car season has been a very busy car season for me with three planned long-distance road trips. A lot has been going on here at my end
As timing would have it . . . after having my recent maintenance completed my rear shock mounts failed and I could feel and hear the cues of the shock mounts failing so I put the car back in the shop to have both of them replaced with brand new M3 rear shock mounts. I also found out the bump stops on both shocks had deteriorated to where they too needed replacement so I had my mechanic fabricate them from the OEM shock bump stops to make them work. Also, my passenger door handle broke due to faulty cable inside the door so I had that replaced as well. After all the work, my M3 feels solid once again and I am very pleased with how the car handles and feels so it is now ready for it's long drive to Florida in a few weeks. Looking forward to cruising down in my M3.![]()
