Need advice...what should I buy?

94jedi · 12-25-2017, 03:56 PM

Hey all - just received a very generous $300 ECS gift card as a gift for Christmas. Of course, I'm already looking at what to buy with it. Are there any "must haves" for an e90 M3? I already have a full set of fluids so I was thinking of a bleeder/extractor? Any thoughts there? filters maybe?

Definitely getting some gloss black BMW performance grill and an M emblem license plate frame.

Other ideas...maybe spacers, a wheel stud kit?

Anything else I should pick up? Any must have tools? I do most wrenching on my own, provided it's not a 10 hr job.

Thanks!

Schwaben OBD scanner.

You need a charger only if you don’t drive your car. For those of us that drive out cars, its unnecessary. Never had a charger on my car, park outside, and it’s below 0 F sometimes in winter.

Send me the card and in return I’ll send you a photo of my car

I Just bought a tune from Alex/Alpinemss. Won't that allow me to read/clear codes? I believe the sw it comes w/ should allow for that.

I'm not aware that that is the case. Shoot him a text tomorrow.
