What did you learn or discover about your M3/M4 today?

Kankles · 10-27-2015, 04:09 PM

That being lowered on swift springs prevents me from staying in certain hotels in vicinity of The Hague. i.e. The M3 is not an off road vehicle meant to clear the most ridiculous speed bumps ever created. No joke I think these things were there back in the horse buggy days of yesteryear..

Tom (Atl) · 10-29-2015, 12:19 PM

That it goes an indicated 269 kph, but has a strange restricted computer slowdown feel above 265.

TRZ06 · 10-29-2015, 01:47 PM

That its at the dealership ready to be picked up this weekend!!!

Um. Today is a business day, that should be open.

How can you possible my wait till the weekend?

Use up all your sick time?

RobbyMack · 10-29-2015, 07:14 PM

That gears 4 and 5 are useless to me. If you're getting on it and you make it to 4th gear you're already at license losing speeds. I find myself doing the 3-6 shift a lot on my daily.

Well, being an Accounting Manager , it's month-end and I'm stuck. It's all good, tomorrow is Friday and it will be nice to not be rushed.

That if you activate cruise control it turns off MDM. I kept getting off the freeway thinking WTH!

geneatals · 10-31-2015, 05:11 PM

there's a clip on my rear parcel shelf for the middle seat belt in the rear seat...

also just noticed the M emblem on the front seat lights up/glows when exiting the car...

JOHNBMWM5 · 11-01-2015, 02:55 AM

20" *10 rear wheels with ET20 RUBS on cornering

Had to remove my winters off the M5, which I thought would be good for the M3.

Also the TPMS Valve frequencies are different, so NO TPMS worked.
Codes for those that may try this
M5/6 RDC 433
M3 RDCI

Whaaaaaaa ... ?

12,000 miles here, and to my surprise the dealership marked all my tires as "green", aka, pristine condition. Almost no wear.

Disclaimer: no burn outs.

WVUDrJay · 11-01-2015, 05:38 AM

I'm my old car it was AWD. If it was snowing you could do donuts with all the nannies off. As soon as I got my M4 my kids asked if we could do donuts when it snowed. I laughed, told them no need to wait and started doing them in the Target parking lot.

I drive with MDM on, try to set 0-60 times all the time, try to induce drifting etc.

Way I see it I could go to Vegas and gamble away the cost of a set of tires and be pissed. I enjoy driving so I don't have an issue paying for tires.

Can you drift with MDM on? How quickly have you gone through tires? Is the ratio 2x rears to 1x fronts?

When you want to input an address or phone number the middle part of the dial works like a touchpad. You can just draw the letters/numbers with your finger.

I have had mine for a year and never knew this. DOH!

JYTsky · 11-01-2015, 09:40 AM

i learned the stock exhaust can be transported in the m4... Without cutting into pieces

JYTsky · 11-01-2015, 09:41 AM

Bmwguy11 · 11-01-2015, 11:53 AM

I would not qualify that as "can be transported"

Push the red circle with a '1' on it. That will allow you to upload multiple pics. Unless you tried that already then...I dunno.

One of the few things I'm glad the dealer showed me...came from an F30 that didn't have the touch pad

I've actually been really impressed with how well the touchpad works... My ED specialist was showing me how fast you can input and it's way faster than any other input method

Demxsr · 11-01-2015, 05:20 PM

in the top right section of the glove box there is a switch to lock and unlock the trunk lid. Had no idea it was there!
