Thought it was normal until everyone started talking about only having a power meter.

There maybe a way to code it but I don’t have experience with that.

My car has also stopped showing the wallpaper when changing drive modes, so maybe it’s just doing it’s own thing 🤷‍♂️

I think I’ve solved this mystery….

If you are in eco poo and change gear manually or put the gear in S, revs appear.

To get the tach in Eco Pro, you can go to display and de-select "Drive Mode". This should give you the standard display set-up whether you are in Eco, Comfort, or Sport.

I know this works for I-Drive 7 and should hopefully work for I-Drive 8.

Yeah, owning a black car is fun !

Luckily that's not visible to the naked eye. I used a bright led light for the picture in the garage

To be honest - I have no idea where that came from.

Maybe the dealership ran it through the autowash when it was getting ready for me to pick it up.

I've only ever handwashed it.

I almost didn't want to post that pic because the swirl marks look ridiculous lol

I recently fixed some swirls, this stuff is amazing. Highly recommend. Use a microfiber pad.

Great , more carwash products I have to buy lol

Spent about an hour getting the exhaust tips at the same exact heights.

Added a few washers to an exhaust hanger on the right side.

It's all I could see every time I looked at the rear of the car. I doubt anyone else would have noticed

funnily enough, getting the blue connectors disconnected was the most annoying part today. just had to just an awl/pic tool and finagle some more.

one thing that may help others in the future is to know how deep to go because i was going WAY too deep and did crack a small piece that seems inconsequential in the grand scheme of things. you have to go in just under two inches and find some resistence. then once you do you push like hell and one side of the airbag will pop out. then you do the other side with a dash of confidence sprinkled in.

thanks to the community for the help and i hope my images add to the assistance.

apologies for the dirty ass thumbnail lol.

They look really good! How do you like the feel/actuation of shifts?

[VegasG42]

Added an official BMW ///M Performance license plate frame ......... to further disturb the M Car purists.

[Fronzdan]

Lol I decided to piss them off the first week I got the car with that same one. Hey, there’s an M on it from the factory 🤷🏻‍♂️

How does that carbon look in person? Is it really dry CF with no coating at all? I really like those and was going to order but I was worried they wouldn’t last long with all the filthy water and salt on them.

The dry carbon looks nice in person. I don't really like the shiny glossy type carbon fiber. And yes, I don't believe there is any type of clear coat on it.

To be honest though , it doesn't seem to be very heavy duty. But I didn't expect it to be. It is fine and sufficient though for just being the outer wrap around piece. It's not cheap or flimsy.

And as far as weather goes - i live in Vegas where it is clear and sunny 95% of the time, so I'm not worried about snow, salt, rain etc.

If it looks like garbage in a year , I'll just buy another set of tips

nothing still waiting for mine... its in the final assembly line.

Wait killing me.......

Cleaned the car, and took a photo with my girlfriend's MINI...

[mad murph]

Had a ceramic coating put on the car and changed the puddle lamps so they match the rest.

If I could go back, I would've went in this direction as well. The brake dust is just seems to show up more on the black wheels.

Did you ceramic coat your wheels?

The price of doing thundernight right

I can get the dust off, with the right chem, but they scratch super easy, that is my only complaint, just polished them while off for the winter. Matte black could be a good alternative or an actual deep anthracite, not this medium grey they call anthracite.
