I’m speaking strictly about driving, not anything else they might have “less freedom” than us.

They also have more freedom than us in other areas (drinking in public, etc.) so all places are different in terms of regulations.

You can drink anywhere in public, as long as you do it right.

Back to the topic at hand: I recently put on Future Classic spacers, Yellow DRLs and the iSweep 1500 pads. Happy with the results on all.

Finally installed the M performance alcantara armrest (so comfy!) to match my floormats. Worth every penny.





Also on went the Mishimoto intake kit. Those turbo snout E8 bolts were fun to get to - hooray for universal joint socket adapters and a pile of extensions.

Awesome - interior looks great

How satisfied are you with the sound? I'm interested in this kit.

Honestly its much more subtle than expected based on my experience with intakes on other cars I have had.

You can definitely hear the bypass valves now and there is more induction growl, but if you really want more sound I think their open kit is the way to go (they have numerous videos of that version and none of the boxed style, I guess I know why now).

That's a big assumption. I've seen many positive remarks about that added wheel color to the 930M wheel. Something for everyone's tastes.

So, just because you don't apparently like it, no one else should, or would? That's pretty rich!! I don't need forged wheels. Street car.
I have forged silver on my Mustang GT Perf. Package I car. Optional wheel that looked great. Still didn't need forged though.

Some like black, 2 tone, silver, purple, pink....whatever makes one happy. Wouldn't you say??

I meant that every G87 car has those wheels, just in a different colour.
If anyone wants to buy them because of the colour, wouldn’t it be easier to powder coat them?

Maybe you should have said what "You meant." Wow....what a stretch.
Calm down. No asses here. Just the one I'm sitting on.

No, I'd rather have the factory done wheel. Been there with powder coating.

Yes, same wheel, but, color makes the "look" one might want. Black...some yes, some no. 2 tone many
seem to like. Now all silver...again, many seem to like this look on an already great looking wheel.

I have BBS's on my TLX Type S...in a non bright silver. That wheel comes in many colors. Same wheel but,
that look can really be altered by color.

Thanks, agreed! I like the OEM wheels, but they're not aggressive enough to match the lines of the G87 (IMO).


For sure. Wheels need to cure overnight, and my OEM wheels need a deep bath before doing the swap and going into storage. Photos to follow.

These wheels are GORGEOUS. Hot damn.

Back on topic!

827M wheels + Cup 2 tires + Gtechniq C5 ceramic wheel coating + Carpro Darkside rubber dressing.

Waiting on a few more carbon pieces and then proper/non-garage photoshoot time. Love this thing.

I also ordered my grills directly from Zunsport. I placed my order the day I signed the papers at BMW and got my grills before I got my car back from PPF/ceramic/tints. They do definitely ship quickly.

I don’t “have” to do anything in order to prevent others from assuming. On the same breath you accused me of assuming, you were assuming yourself, but your assumption is my fault because what I meant wasn’t clear to you.

Your gaslighting has been noted. Enjoy the forums. I swear, the types that roam here…

PS: maybe English is not your first language, but there’s a saying that goes “when you ASSuME, you make an ass out of u and me”.

I know the saying quite well. I taught formal classrooms for almost 20 yrs. BS in Adult Education. So, even though you didn't know, please don't try to "school me" and think you are better or smarter than me. Won't work. Just stop your stuff.

You never said what you meant....you admitted that. Now you say it's my fault.

I never stated an overall opinion of what color was best. Only what was available now, and that gives people 3 options on the 930M wheel. And, I said, I liked them as others do. You seem to have a problem with simple logical statements.

Wow...the people you find on forums!!!

[NewToM]

Why am I never involved in the drama.

[LAGWAGN]

Added the ZunSport grills on front. Stupid easy install and I actually kind of like the look.

Nope they just click in. Took 10 minutes.

Oof. I thought I didn’t really like these wheels. Now I’m not so sure. That looks amazing. Especially with the stealth PPF.

Damn, just looking at that E&J gives me heartburn.

My wife finally got her first chance to drive my 6mt M2 today. She did pretty good, didn't kill it at all, but had some pretty bouncy shifts especially 1st to 2nd gear. She darn hear ruined my front bumper though pulling into a parking spot. We got out and the curb was about a half inch from my license plate and bracket. She said she really couldn't tell how close she was and didn't notice the green to yellow to red markings on the park assist as we got close to the curb. 360 degree cameras would be so helpful.....but she knows for next time to not get as close. Such an amazing day for driving after like 10 days of rain!!

Had my Active Autowerke equal length mid-pipes intstalled Friday. Sounds great and finally enough volume that I was able to disable the ASD. My valve controller should show up today and I should be good on sound upgrades for a while.

I currently only have the AA equal length as well. Let me know how much of a difference the valve controller makes. Been thinking about one.
