That clutch stop one you mentioned is a life saver. I recently picked up a F32 in MT and the clutch pedal going as deep as it does really puts a strain on me. My 6'4 Friend loves it to death but me being 5'8, I cannot find a comfortable position where both in the completely out + completely in, my heel remains touching the ground.
Changed my grill for my X5 E70 from the factory black and chrome to an all chrome for $75 on aliexpress from China. Fits great and easy to install as it's on the hood.
Good video, and some good ideas, I did most when I bought mine but also did the Racemesh Lower Grille front and rear, changed the side indicators for black ones instead of the Crome, next I will be following you in the brake pad change to ceramic and painting the Calipers. Was going to change the brake lines but already saw your other video.
for bluetooth, you can also try a bluetooth audio module like the tatronics one. basically it connects to the stock audio input and turn it on. it emits a bt signal that your phone can connect to. put the audio in aux and boom. there you go.
The most helpful video I’ve seen on this type of BMW. I’m thinking of getting a 330d soon so more videos on mods and gadget info would be spectacular!!
Charles A get a 330i ?
Love the Carly app. I've had it for a few years.
Videos are getting better and better. Keep up the good work. Going to the top!
+Pav singh Thanks Pav, glad you are enjoying them!
The grill you put on is cool but I also like the stock one. I just made my first BMW purchase a 2011 328i with premium package with 84k miles (sorry I can’t remember conversion) it was in great condition for 8,800 USD I’m loving the first 10 days
I love your videos and will turn reminders on and have subscribed!!
Awesome stuff, all fab bits.
Looking forward the the brake video!
Thanks mate, so kind of you to say. Brake video out next week!
I installed an LED ring around the BMW emblem on my trunk. I also added an offset Euro tag to the front (I live in the US, and live in a state that only requires a rare tag). I own a 2006 BMW 325i so the stock bumper looked like dukie so I went out and got a more sporty looking bumper.
Next on my list are to replace the dated headlights with new meaner looking LEDs and perhaps replacing the rear bumper. I would also like to replace the shifter knob with one that has just the bmw logo as opposed to the gear tree.
For phone integration, you can easily make it wireless. There are these apple airplay boxes that are supposed to be used at home - you can get one of those but you have to do some wiring for the power input. after, you take your stock radio out and connect it to e.g. the cd input. so whenever you put the radio in cd mode, you can play music wireless from your phone and the airplay box is hidden behind the stock radio. You can also just wire the output to a standart 5V car output and hide the box under the middle arm rest. my friend did it on his e36 where he bought a used stock radio from ebay, i would not suggest it on e.g. an e92 since they are expensive.
Cool, thanks for the great tip!
Next time on road & race: How to replace the motors for your BMW power mirrors 😂😂
Actually now you mention it.....
Use the power mirrors sparingly. I recommend manually operating them when parking is tight and there's a chance they may get damaged.
I'm joking but there's a reason they weren't folding automatically. Maybe the motors back then weren't as durable or the whole system had a limited number of actuations so BMW decided not to program them to fold automatically.
West Senkovec good 1 lol xD
@@westsenkovec Thats why you buy a Benz, 350k km's on a S400 and the mirror motors are working just like new even against the snow and ice we get here in Finland :)
You should fit the LCI taillights as well. Really improves the look of the rear :)
Subscribed. Great content! Thanks for taking the time to put it together. Glad you're enjoying your M3.
Thanks Wesley for the kind comment. I certainly am!
Nice video, I enjoyed watching!
I think my neighbor is stalking me as she's been googling my name on her computer. I saw it through my telescope last night.
It was me, sorry.

I've had my BMW for about a month for my first car and it's funny because I've actually done all of this stuff already. Painted my grill, the magnet for the phone and the bluetooth are my favorite things. Tint your windows and headlights next (;
This is a great video.
Nice video, thank you for this. I have the same stereo system and my question is how can I play MP3 music files whith this?
How could someone hate the lock sound of a BMW. I hate when cars honk when they lock it sounds like a cheap Kia
kias are fucking garbage trash cans of fuckin cars and they disgust me with their sight
Still better than my aftermarket 2-Way that beeps the alarm horn every time I lock it. That shit is loud, wakes the dead, scares the birds, annoys your mom, etc. Thank god there was the option to disable the damn beep.
@@gtaseed thank god in my country you only have the indicators flash but you can also disable that, I hate when I drive some export car at work and they have the honking, scares the shit outta me.
When I lock my 320d it sounds ok.
I love the beep on mine
Entertaining content love the videos. Has a professional look. New subscriber.
Thanks mate, appreciate the comment. Cheers for the sub too.
No problem.
I have the same grill/kidneys in my e91. Looks so much better now!
Carly is Amazing! Worth every penny.. diagnostics, coding 👍🇺🇸
Yeah, it's not bad piece of kit for the money
Love the Carly app 👍
I very much enjoy your videos
Thanks for saying so Danny.
Hi!
I have F34 BMW and I cannot find leaf grille's for my car, and i manually clean always engines department that not so comfortable 😢. Can you help me please?
Thanks a lot!!!
Thumbs up for the leaf grills, the space under the boot floor is where to locate a water injection tank.
Class video! Easy to follow👏
Glad you liked it!
HI, what brand you purchased for the grid replacement, Im contacting you from SA
Mod number 9: Fake M3 badge
yes i need to do that on my e39 lol
@@lakai2305 M3 badge on e39 lol
@@snam97 indeed thats the best idea. I did it and got 847 whp now just because of the badge!
People who stick fake M badges on their car: 🤢. It says so much about what kind of a person they are
AAron Thom, so just out of curiosity what does a fake m3 badge say about personality? Mind you I totally dislike those fake m badges but still i’m not getting it’s connection with one's personality
U think I could do the same thing with my 2005 525i regarding the cable system u came up with for the audio
Nice video!
Many thanks Mr Boost!
i like it that you comment back to a lot of people 👍
+Kanker Reknak I try to much as I can
Nice video!
Do you know how it is possible to change or delete the "LIMIT" red signal each time I drive over 120KM/H? (without bying carly if possible). Thanks
I also have a 57plate m3 and the crap ccc screen annoys me, so thanks for the heads up on the speedy turn off!
Are there also different obd2 scanners with simellar code options?
hi there mate ,, liked your work ,,,
Love the new grill inserts! Worth every penny.
Yeah, I love em!
Agreed
gutted , i just bought a 13 plate M3 and spent 50 quid on the std gloss black grills .. link to the ones you bought ? and are they still glossy ?
Is it possible for a diesel model to make the exhaust sound better?
Hey guys! I recently bought a 2010 BMW 328i. I got it inspected before buying and everything was fine. Now when I drive it, I feel the steering to be a bit heavy. Can anyone suggest if a heavy steering is common for the car or there might be some issue? And if so, what are the common issue causing the hardness of steering?
The fourth one is just stupid. youre not pressing the clutch all the way. I might not do anything but you always need to press the clutch all the way down to reduce stress on the gearbox
Jimbow I was going to say the same thing. lol that's gonna be an expensive fix for a little comfort. But, to each his own.
Yahimilly Diaz-Santiago actually no, there is a lot of play in the clutch pedal so you can press it a little bit less.
You can literally feel if the clutch is being abused or not, no one grinds gears
Yes..not good will harm sincros in trans
If the clutch isn’t full depressed and everything fully disengaged then the car wouldn’t start. There’s no issue with this mod. Nearly everyone with a modern manual M car does it.
Great Clip I have a 2008 335i re the Audio just buy a Bluetooth reciever its Usd $10 and play all Audio from Android or iPhone through it connecting to bluetooth adapter to the AUX plug and power it with the power source all in the center console it's much better
But if you push the pedal less far for the clutch doesn't that mean the clutch doesn't fully disconnect?
Yes, it potentially can. If the clutch starts to wear over time then the bite point my get higher and cause shifting problems.
@@RoadandRacetv no, if the clutch wears out the bite point comes earlier, so you actually have to push the pedal less far to fully disengage the clutch, the only real difference with the larger stopper is that the pedal is actually slightly harder to hold when it isn´t pressed in to the end because of how the cup-spring in the clutch works, and as soon as you hit the bite point it´s only a small couple of inches until it´s fully disengaged.
New subscriber from Hawaii aloha 🤙🏼
+Hi_Klass KicksHawaii Cool! I think you may be the first!
Mod 4, as the rubber makes no difference to the bite point, no need to add the buffer, just press the clutch less far?
Nice vid and lovely car.
i use one and you are right it doesnt change the bite point but it does stop you "unnecessarily" pressing the clutch pedal too far in, when its not needed. it really does change things, its nice!
With the Radio issue i should recommend a Bluetooth receiver, cost like 10 bucks. Just put it in a aux input, connect your phone with the receiver and boom, you have a bluetooth radio.
I've been lusting after an e92 M3 for a very long time now but can't stretch to it yet so I've just brought myself an e92 330i M Sport instead. It's a gorgeous car on a 58 plate and I like to think of it as a baby M3 lol.
Where did you bring it from?
Ur gonna be big
+Pimp Vlogs Thanks for saying so. I hope so!
Is it mandatory to close the side view mirrors or something??
spacers make a huge difference bought quality 12mm set from amazon just 50 pounds with extended bolt second modification was led angel eyes 40 pounds in sale from eBay and tinted side markets 30 pounds from eBay All good quality maybe not top shelf but looks great so far so good and just 120-130 pounds
Sir. I really need step*6 cable please. I shall keep replaying this step just so I acan learn how to do it.
Good Video! I have also the exhaust medium mod! 😉
Thanks mate! It's such a cool mod isn't it!
I had those grilles a both fell out of the car and hit my windshield. One on a backroad and one on a highway. Both broke :(
With carly do you need to buy the premium thing that costs 5euros month?
I love you for this! Lol
Ello mate, +1 on the led angel eyes. Shaves years off the car. Do you have a link for the grilles? Gotta get me some. Thanks a lot
Love your channel. Perhaps because I own a 2013 E92 M3 as well. Also, great production. Keep up the good work!
+Collin Cregg Ah, an excellent car choice my friend! Thanks for the words of encouragement.
+Collin Cregg You done any mods to yours?
i've a 13 plate too and am interested in finding out how many UK spec ones were made after mine , production stopped in june '13 , mine was made 20th April. Reckon it has to be in the last batch ever done. No real way of finding out either :(
Road and Race I've only just purchased new wheels and wider rubber. Forgestar F14. The first thing I modded was the exhaust. Secondary cat delete. Sounds much better. I may add front splitters and carbon fiber trunk lip. Car is still under warranty. The dream is to one day go full Dinan tune.
That's some nice list of mods there.
I enjoyed your video and therefore, as requested, considered subscribing.
+Lewis72 Thanks for the sub Lewis, glad you liked the video!
I merely considered subscribing. ;-)
Really miss the Porsche videos but still enjoy these.
Yeah, sorry about that Michael, I miss Belle too, but I needed something a bit more practical. Glad to hear you've stuck around and watch the new videos, I appreciate that.
Do they have a phone software for Volkswagen?
hi grills look great would you have a link or an ebay no for them please

Great video. I've just got the Carly adapter and app for my E92, great bit of kit. How does the exhaust mod sound on cold start?
Thanks mate, glad you like the Carly. Not done any scientific testing but it sounds great on a cold start to me !
I bought adjustable Spring Sleeve-Over Kit by KW today for my E92 M3. I hope to have them installed next week.
Cool! Let me know how much you drop it by! Do you have EDC on your car?
Road and Race Yes I do have EDC. This is why I went with Sleeve-overs, as to not mess with the dampers. 👍🏾
Does anyone know where i can find those grills?
Can't find the carly ob2! Where to buy and which one?
If you can remove your frt grille you can also respray with gloss black paint purchased from any diy shop or hobby shop. But strangely ppl like to buy them new
i currently own a bmw 323ti e36. it's quite fun, drives like a e30 m3 on a budget. but i'd love to have a 986 porsche boxster as next car. guess i'm going for your guide videos as soon as i have the money
Cool. Yeah, Boxster prices continue to fall here in the UK so if you want a convertible sports car you'd be hard to find better for the money.
Hi, I was just wondering if you recommend the Carly device now you've had it a while? I too wish to get it so my mirrors fold on locking!
Yes, it’s great.
I think tinted tail lights would look good 😊 on your m3, I tinted mine on my 330d M and it looks 👌🏼
What tint % did you use if you don’t mind me asking
Maybe I missed it but how to assign custom steering wheel buttons?
Does the app work for a e39 bmw
4:00 does it work too for diesel engine? :) dear greets
What are true vs corrected speeds?
I'm looking at buying an 11-13 plate e92 m3 which of the two Carly adaptors should I buy? There's a normal one and one that says 20 pin ? Many thanks
I think probably the normal one but best to check with Carly support first I guess?
what is the issue with the speedo ?
Hi, I have a question about the Carly Adapter. Can I share the adapter for boxster and BMW 1 series?
yep!
I wonder if this could fold the mirrors on a 320i
Interesting the US e9x come standard with the leaf trays.
Chargeable adapter link?....and air vent phone holder
Any idea what DBs you would get with the 2 pipe mod? Will you still get allowed on track?
It's not much louder. I got under the 100 Db limit for track days easily.
I have exactly the same Mod... carly , exhaust and black grill!!!! but for my iphone i use a wifi transmeter like apple tv
Wow, exactly the same eh? Good idea using the Apple TV, didn't think of that.
Amazing...

Thanks for the sub mate!
You're welcome, your content is so professional !
can you change it with carly so you don't have to put they key in the little holder to start the car?
I don't think so. You'd need the Comfort option for that.
good video bro
Thanks mate!
What exakt car is this? 320? 2007?
I replaced my license plate LED lights with ultra bright Leds from amazon for about 25€ on my 420d. They look stunning now, around double as bright as before, especially in the night :)

Dudeeeee you need window tints
To be honest, I'm not a fan of tints. Has it's place but this car is already really black!
I was already gonna guess you don't live in Arizona, but if you don't like tinted windows...now I know for sure!
golfandski He's in the UK, because he bought his grilles from ebay for euros.
NitroCaliber he is in the UK (registration plate and accent gives it away), but the black coloured grills were bought in Pounds (UK currency).
Hes also driving on the "opposite" side of the road haha
