    If you don’t want the oil cap to leak don’t turn them upside down after removing. They really don’t leak just the oil on the cap will drain past the seal when it upside down when servicing. That took us a minute at the dealer to figure it out. Oily side down when it’s removed.

    I feel a bit jealous about the fact that it only took you like 10mins to take out the front shocks while It took me 5 hours just to do the driver side on my e90 325d. I started at 2pm and was done at 5:30am the next morning. I replaced front shocks, brake discs and pads and the water pump since it was leaking. Love how the car looks but my eyes always wander to that e34 m5, what a beauty!

  • @TassieLorenzo

    PT should be much faster coming out of the corners with better traction, but DP should be able to carry more mid-corner speed in the lighter car and be faster at the end of the straights (but wheelspin central exiting corners?). Could be an interesting match-up. 🙂

    Removing the rear spacer and using adjustable rear upper arms to run less negative camber would have the same optical effect while also improving your rear grip.
    Stock suspension on the M3 tends to have a lot of "active" camber, meaning when you dive into corners in dramatically changes from the "static" camber it has.
    I run -0.3 at the rear and the car is better both at grip & drift.

Although the newer ones have much more power the E90 (or E92 E93) M3 is by far the car to have if you're looking for a super sounding perfect drifting race machine you can drive to work each day and is very reliable!
