One of our members, "suaveflooder" (Brian) put together a posting listing many references to DIY sources of info - from both this site and others on the web. There was a request that it become a sticky - but since other people kept adding extranious posts to the thread, that wasn't practical in the original thread. I discussed this with Brian - and he made up a clean version of all the references that will now become a sticky and CLOSED thread. If you have more references to add to the thread, please send a PM to SuaveFlooder, and after looking it over - if it's suitable, he'll send it to me for inclusion in this thread.
Please take note - the moderators and owners of M3Forum take no responsibility for any damages caused by the use of these DIY's. If you decide to use one - it's at your own risk. That all said - here is the listing (and thanks MUCH to SuaveFlooder!) ================================================== ===== BASIC INFO/MAINTAINANCE: Thinking about buying an M3?
