Where did you get the carbon from?, is it the BMW M2 version or the performance upgrade?

It's the M2 version from the idrive 7 model, i just didnt use the dash trim and kept the stock one in

Final piece in the jigsaw arrived today, this was a hard piece to aquire, I hope it fits well. I wanted an alcantara cf wheel trim to match the rest in the car, BMW makes one but finding one with a heater button hole was damned tricky. A supplier on aliexpress came up with the goods with a special order just for me, after 2 month finally have it

I know you are meticulous and I probably know the answer but did you paint both sides? What paint did you use? Thanks.

Steering wheel booked in Monday and exhaust Wednesday

[cannockwolf]

Exhaust fitted and 4" tips added (fills the gap better) too, wasn't able to find staggered ones anywhere in the world lol, as soon as it's bedded in (200m) I'll post before & after videos

[cannockwolf]

After the clicking on the wheels came back, sigh, I'm now trying 5mm spaces, so far it's gone again

[cannockwolf]

Here’s a better angle of how the exhaust tips fill the bumper gap

just watched loads of YT vids like this

it all comes off pretty easy apart from the top two by the cup holders which are a complete barsteward to get out

just look at the replacement trim to see where you need to be poking LOL

Sounds worse, like a hairdryer atm, i want it to get worn in a bit, it does sounds 'bigger' (is the only way i can describe it, a work mate agreed it's the best way to describe the sound) and there are lots more burbles sometimes but it definiteley isnt broke in yet thats why im not videoing it, it was the same with the stock one, the sound was miles better when i removed it to when i had it new.

I'm not worried atm becasue i doint want 'loud' as such, so it's a waiting game.

If all else fails i'll remove the opf.
