Also, great news! Just got the oil analysis back from Blackstone. The previous owner stated the dealer he purchased the M3 from told him the Rod Bearings had been done recently. The oil analysis sure looks like it supports that! However I do not have documentation that the RB's we're done so I will continue to monitor them with each oil change to be safe. If anyone with extensive knowledge on this can chime in, please feel free to tell me what you think about the results. Thank you!!

Also some great news! Subframe is still crack free, and the light clunk was indeed coming from my diff bushings as suspected! Picture of my diff bushings below.

Will be ordering brand new bushings today or tomorrow for install next week.

Very reliable! (Although I've only had it a few months now)

If you are asking because you're thinking about buying one, I say go for it!

Just make sure to buy one with a clean carfax history, good maintenance history, healthy oil reports (if you can), and one that hasn't been beat up. These cars are very reliable when the maintenance has been properly done and the car has been well taken care of.

Looking good! Love TiSi, I searched for awhile for one and couldn't find the right one. I like the progress so far - shouldn't this be in the build/picture section?

Thanks JDNY516 🙏🏽

Is there a way to move/merge this thread over there? Sorry I wasn't sure. In fact I posted the car when I first got it as an introduction then just decided to upload pictures as time went on and maintenance/upgrades were performed.

If I can somehow move this thread there I'd be more than happy to

Update:

Very pleased to say new Revshift 80a bushings have been installed. Any diff clunk or vibration that was previously noticeable from the original worn bushings has been completely remedied!

Hope everyone has a good weekend 🤙🏽

Side trims had a tiny bit of built up dirt underneath that I could see when up very closely so I wanted to take them off and completely clean the channel it locks into as well as the underside of the trim. Came out perfect!

I took an up close video to show the final results but don't know how to attach it ☹️

What tire specs are you running? I currently have OEM 225/40/19 and 255/35/19 but I'd like to switch to OEM CSL spec 235/35/19 and 265/30/19. Been searching for CSL fronts but they are impossible to find over the last year. I really nope its NLA and just a COVID thing.

Yep, running 235/35/ZR19 and 265/30/ZR19 PS4S (15mm/12mm front & rear spacers).

Have you checked Bimmerworld?

That's what I thought! That's the tire spec I have to go with, but my PS4S tires are literally new so at the moment doesn't make sense to switch unless I can find someone to take these OEM spec tires off my hands.

Yeah I have checked everywhere, no one has the front CSLs in stock and there is no ETA.
