Nice ride! Only 110,000 miles? Not even broken in yet!

Thanks!

That's what we keep hearing. Driving is believing and that 5.3L GMC engine made me a believer.

Clean ride and welcome. Can we get a pic of that saucy M3?!


Any future custom modifications?

As requested. 1997 BMW M3 Sedan w Manual 5 Speed. Luxury Package, all stock with exception of aftermarket stereo and UUC short shifter. All else is bone stock.

Welcome fellow Texan, I'm down the road from you in San Antonio...if you take 35, that will be a 4 hour trip haha

quest51210,

Traffic in the Austin are is no joke. That time estimate seems appropriate at rush hour standstill traffic on 35 South.

95ecsahoe,

There are a few things I can think of right away:

• Tint front windows: Try match rear, perhaps 35%. This is necessary in Texas.
• Upgrade Foglights: One foglight is out. Might go OEM, but will consider aftermarket.
• Front Driver Seat: Still serviceable, but in the next two years will upholster seat.
• Differential cover: Upgrade to G2 Brute differential cover with dipstick or something similar.

Swap both diff fluids while you're at it.

20% is stock in Tom the rear of that body style. They went to 35 factory 07+

Definitely consider an upgraded halogen bulb like a silverstars or something, if you don't want led/hid.

Look on eBay they sell new seat bottom cover for $150-200 and you can put them on yourself

Welcome to TYF Betty!! Nice looking Yukon. Lots of great info and advice here on the TYF.

If you're ever in SA I have an affordable tint guy, can also tint front windshield affordably. Also have an upholstery guy that replaces seat bottom for $110 and it's 4-6hrs. fog lights are cool, but a HID projector retrofit may be more your taste.

Great! We go to San Antonio from time to time so I will definitely take you up on the tint and upholstery contact info. Could you please post or IM. It is most definitely appreciated.

Let the customization/improvement process begin.
