Haven't driven it far enough to have damaged the tires in any way. Take a couple spirited drives and maybe a nice short burnout or 3 and then reevaluate. I've put 1000 miles on a set with a terrible alignment and had them back to health within the next 100. Rotations help if applicable. I had a square stance. But it seems like an alignment issue unless there was a manufacturer defect in the tire and a belt broke. Typically you feel that too as an unbalanced vibration.
Really enjoying the new in car look, audio, and extra angles! Great work OG media team.
Sounds magical. Glad to see in your comments below that you found the sway bar was the cause of the pulling. This would be the dream M3 with this build. Nice job.
Sweet camera angles. that car is the definition of perfect, glad to see you enjoying it!
Thanks for this been waiting to see her on the road for a while now !
Your E92 m3 is absolutely amazing... Cleanest 1 I've ever seen.. love it when you do E92 m3 content
The noise it's making - absolutely love it!
Cool to see you out there throwing gears! Definitely a sweet build, Matt. 👌
The different camera angles are a nice touch.
So tastefully done.. exhaust note is perfect!!
Well done finding it and the mods you've done. Need to see some exterior fly by's please.
Your videos always make me want to run an errand and drive my M3.
On your steering point situation Matt I would swap front tires and see if anything changes I can’t remember if you have a square set up? Could be something just stupid, Control arm sway bar something like that I know I had that issue on my Subaru.
Wow it sounds amazing! Swap the front tires side to side and drive again. If it still pulls left its the car not the tires. It may not pull after or may drift to the right.
I had auto solutions make the ssk 12mm higher so it would be factory height with the f10 m5 shift knob. Love it
It was great seeing you driving it. It was cool for going through the gears.
In this episode we learned that Matty loves a short stiff shaft... That's OG spec people
13:26 A big reason why the E92 M3 is my favorite car of all time. 😂 It just sounds too damnn good. And of course the looks too. I just love the sound of a European V8. This car and a B7 Audi RS4, the sound just gets me all the time. Seeing yours with a manual is just the cherry on top. I always wondered how many people would've bought more of the older C63 AMG w204's if they came with a 6 spd manual. 🤔 E92 M3 would be #1 for me either way.
I appreciate all these driving videos whenever they come. 9:21 That is some sick camera work. Nice pull too. 🙂 Alsoo, those AMX Performance seats look gorgeous.
Thinking about the same suspension setup for my 1 series
Beautifull upgrade work, you inspire a bunch of petrol heads !
As a former m3 owner, I still think this is the best M3 motor despite not being the fastest variant. When the M3/4 went even bigger and heavier is when I decided to bail on the brand and jump to the 911. Still look back on my M as one of my favorite cars, but the 911 drives completely different and I’d have a real hard time going back to a front engine (or front mid) vehicle. Even more noticeable on track. Very very few mods needed. Carbon Back Sportster GTs might be coming tho.
I feel your pain with the alignment being off. I still find myself checking my steering wheel after every other bump or rough patch.
Absolutely! There's nothing like having the perfect alignment especially in an M car. I just recently got new Michelins on my f90 and an alignment and now it drives like a dream...
I added UCP (Ultimate Clutch Pedal) to my E92 M3 along with AutoSolutions SSK. It transformed the driving experience
Has to be the best OEM+ E92 M3 in the country....I would love to see you take it up to the mountains!
Yes backseat driver view, maybe there will be some rage shifting involved??
In the video you mention you did Xpel Ultimate PPF and did CSL and Exo. Why did you choose against Halo on the PPF? You did the entire car in PPF correct? Thanks!
Matt check to see if your brakes are hanging up a little that could be why it’s steering to the left so noticeably that could be the problem nice to see you enjoying the m3
It ended up being the sway bar.
The BMW dealer is the only place that gets my alignment proper every time. Take it there and it will be perfect bc they weigh the car for the driver as per design. They will sort you out. I thought my E92 M3 was the best and still so but your car is phenomenal. Would love to feel those Ohlins, headers and carbon airbox. That box was the first mod I wanted in many years which says a lot when a car is tuned perfectly and driven as is for 6 years before the big bites again. E92 M3 is one of the best M cars ever made. I’m sure yours is. Close to GTS and I’m guessing a stroker is in your dreams. Replace it with a P65 instead as I l ow one may still be available. With that engine there will be no doubt who has the best E92 on the planet.
Did you install a M Performance strut bar?
When I saw the title & started the video I just expected you to be reversing out of your wash bay in the old house and go through the little slalom that was your drive! Interesting how some things are codified into your memory. As for the car, what a noise!!
Holy Grail BMW 2011 E90 M3 Interlagos Blue/Black Leather 6 spd. with only 38k miles on AutoTrader in Florida.
My buddy is a one man auto mechanic operation.
A few years ago, he decided to get an alignment machine and tire changing set up.
He tells me if you don’t have a proper alignment, you can ruin a set of new tires in a day or two.
Therefore, it could be the tires are bad.
Hey Matt! Have you looked into checking the corner balance? That itself could cause the car to pull and when you get it done, you will be getting every drop of performance out of the suspension! *You may have already done this, But I haven't watched every single video on this car. looking forward to catching up*
I used to go through the trouble of getting the scales out, but I’ve found doing that is largely a waste of time.
Good to see someone get their dream cars Matt!
You might have to find an wheel alignment guy with your level of OCD though...cuz that pull to the left look 10 times hard than road crown correction even.
Good help is hard to find, and always taken for granted.
My OCD was going off like your hazard light switch blinking...LOL
That is Euro MDM mode.
Well I’m assuming carbon ceramics are somewhat porous I could be wrong on carbon ceramic material but I think it’s like anything else if you rub some frictional material again something else you’ll get a transfer! And it’s probably not much different from carbon steel when you’re applying frictional material for a transfer layer I could totally be wrong, but my theory is just like what you said Matt you’re leaving pad material transferred from the pad to the rotor surface might be a microscopic pad layer transfer but there’s a layer transfer happening that must mirror the same material against itself??
Swap your tires to the right and see if the pull switches to the other side
That is the most easiest way to check if it’s the tires doing the pulling. Even if tires are directional, you can still sway for a quick test drive and if it now pulls to the right, well, there you go.
Swap the front tires left to right and see if the pull changes, if it doesn’t, it’s not a radial pull it’s just a bad alignment
Am I obsessed? I cannot see past the blinking hazard switch! LOL
Hey Matt, how did you install that M5 shifter? Did you cut the shifter or did the whole boot ring swap? Thanks
I cut the knob off the M3 and kept the M3 boot. I then cut the boot off the M5 knob and broke the plastic ring off. I used the M3 boot and M5 knob and zip tied the M3 boot to the shifter rod. It's much simpler than trying to re-glue everything.
What a dream!
Mountain bike sighting!
doesnt the m3 come with a infotainment screen?
I used to depend on my V1 Radar Detector, but that was 10 years ago.
Way back, before that, when cops were using primarily X Band, the damn thing might give you 3-4 miles warning in certain circumstances. It was laughable.
Of course, their equipment got better and that instant on ambush type changed the game.
Getting older, I had the V1 still, but found it better to fall in with a group of cars and be in the middle or rear of the pack.
I was content to let the guy in front be the bear bait.
For those of you that travel the PA Turnpike, it’s West Bound at the bottom of the hill near Breezewood at the 162 mile marker.
Lol, cops are there a lot. You’ve been warned!!!
But you’re still within the 1200 breakin period… i kidd. Great setup
No Dinan stroker?
… “Did I mention that I don’t have a radar protector on this ha ha” 👏
@@jameschunn2790 no, it’s just funny that he has a laid back perspective on driving hard with no protection.
Stroker?
Wait aren’t those Recaro sportster CS seats? AMX?
They are sportsters, but they have BMW airbag integrated into them. AMX Performance out of Poland sells them.
what about an LSD with shorter final drive like 4.10 or something
Have a crush on this guy and his car noise 🥵
Your tires are not ruined with the low miles you have driven. Go find another alignment shop. By the way, I have been using the OG drying aid and I love it. I love the fact that there is no silly crap in it like smell or color agents that crystalize in the bottle like in bead maker or extreme solutions.
Yeah...I had the sway bar on upside down.
@@ObsessedGarage I glad you were able to figure it out and it wasn't anything too serious.
Scrub those tyres in get some good twisty roads!!
Get the Dinan engine upgrade done
You mentioned it feels faster than stock how much hp would you guess your mods make in total? (Headers, tune, intake, and pulleys) Also, have you considered a carbon driveshaft and or a light weight fly wheel?
It’s around 50whp more.
Do a Carbon Fiber driveshaft. Dramatic difference with no negative side effects. You won't regret it.
What’s the felt difference? Just curious as I’ve never heard that such a mod exists!
That’s a good idea!
@@MacBookAir-cu4fb Lighter. Especially when paired with a lighter flywheel. It'll rev quicker because of the less rotational mass. But it will also lose revs quicker.
At 13:40 yt recognized v8 sound as Music. ;D
Why is the hazard light blinking?
The hertz in the led backlight doesn’t match the camera’s frame rate causing it to look like the light is blinking.
Yep
Aligning it can be tricky. If he hadn’t placed weights throughout the car, it’ll always be off.
BMW specs sand bangs be placed on various seats and even the trunk. 🤷🏻♂️
But what if it’s always just you mostly alone with nothing in the trunk????? 🤣 ✌🏼
Intake and exhaust don't make NA cars "much much much faster"...but ok. The do make cars sound much much much faster. Fantastic sounding car sir.
The car is 50ish whp more than stock. I’ve had these cars on the dyno before.
lol. Yup. Lots of claims. If there is a big “bump” it’s a thin peak but not a lot under the curve. Let them think that tho. The mind is a powerful thing. Companies like Porsche and M motor sports don’t just leave big HP on the table in the form of intake or exhaust/headers on an NA car.
@@ObsessedGarage lol. You must be selling the stuff
Great to hear you enjoying this car, even with a couple niggles 👌!
So TTX is the way to go eh. Need a new suspension setup in my M3. It's a supercharged 4.4, so I need some rather aggressive suspension to work with that power.
Hit up 3DM.
Plenum?
Eventuri
If the person who did the alignment knows Matt he would have refused to give him the car back like this, tires or not.
Get some nice pedals if you haven’t already
How tall are you? You look huge in that car.
6’2”
Looks like you're sitting in the car instead of on it.
It is a badass m3 but It’s prolly the best e92 in country because it barely sees the road. Drive the thing. It’s not a Ferrari or a gt2 Porsche it’s a bmw m3. You see them on the road all the time. They are not rare. If it’s your favorite car and dream car enjoy it and drive it.
Who said I wasn’t driving it?
@@ObsessedGarage E92 is two generations old 10 plus year old car with under 5000 miles. Its not being driven. Its a garage queen.
Hold on Matt, you put 20k carbon ceramics on a car that won't ever see a track?
Yes
Why not?
Man, E92 6-speed, single hump, 359M wheels, OEM plus concept mods. It's beautiful! I love American Racing Headers exhaust - remember them from my Mustang days. I still don't understand why the previous owner had extra clearcoat sprayed onto the vertical surface of the rear trunk. That's a headscratcher. It wouldn't have stopped me either though. You could always take the rear wing off and have the whole thing cleared to get rid of the edge.
I have been poking around for a Lime Rock single hump 6-speed with silver 359M wheels. Doubt I would like the price if I found one nice enough. Most I see are deal-breaking double humps - can't even look at them. Or they have the cold weather package headlight knobs. Less is more, people! :)
The seats seams to short and to low in the thighs? Your thighs are in the air all the time.
I’ve had many aftermarket seats in my life. These are by a long shot the best.
Alignment dudes full of crap, your tires arnt causing you to pull that hard with sub 200 miles on them. Dude needs to go back to jiffy lube
It was sway bar.
All i can put my eyes on, is the darn warning lights button…😆 please fix it. Nice car, this is what perfection is!
The Euro MDM mode. It’s not a warming light.
Crooked steering wheel?!? Eh throw it out, buy a new one, too many miles anyway.
@@jameschunn2790 I know, I was trying to make a joke😉
Your driving position looks like you can’t see over the dashboard or something.
Ha, ha... My head is like 3" from the roof.
First the worst....second the best
