Do you have any details on the recall fix? Was it a quick and easy fix?

I hate it when they tear things apart and possibly introduce rattles after the fix.

Beautiful in red.

It took them about an hour to do the recall fix. I did go back there and check, and looked and felt alright. I’m with you about the rattle potential.

FastTyger Damn, yo. How much weight does that CF gas cap save, bro?! Asking for a friend!

It’s not even the gas cap. It’s just a cover that sticks on the existing gas cap. Adds 5 horsepower, though

Today I watched my car sit in the garage as we here in Utah continue to enjoy "4th winter" after at least 3 teases of "spring." I have a feeling we're going to jump from 32 and snowy to the balmy mid-range temperatures of Satan's asshole.

Heatsoak tests incoming!

On my BMW the only recall I see is for the wireless charger. Maybe I escaped the aribag recall. 🤔

Finally got around to putting in my TUX floor mats and installed the Ali carbon fiber trim. Was pleasantly surprised by the quality.

WolfMPower · 04-07-2023, 01:26 PM

I washed my car on Carfriday😁😁
And i fixed the Black Sticker on the hood!

wb8164 · 04-07-2023, 01:38 PM

Looks very nice, especially with the Portimao Blue and the Shadowline package.

Brooklyn M240i · 04-07-2023, 03:10 PM

I put gas in my car today… Had 8km of range left so decided to fill it up with some Ultra 94 from Petro-Canada. Might put my summers on this weekend!

Ricochet48 · 04-07-2023, 03:49 PM

Tux Mats look great. Sad that weathertech isn't making one (I would prefer to support them, driven by their factory many times).

That blue hood accent is solid too. Looks so matte in the photo that it almost looks photoshopped. I think it's an underrated look.

viperx100 · 04-07-2023, 07:06 PM

Installed Eibach Pro springs today with Burgermotorsports 13mm spacers all around. Springs still have to settle but I’m already loving the look. Initial thoughts on the new springs in comfort and sports plus are very good. I’ll do an alignment after a week of driving when everything is settled.

Looks perfect, I would like to do that too but I'm unsure how it would effect my 7 year warranty I have with the car, it would give them an 'out' on the adaptive suspension if anything went wrong with it.

Thank you. Eibach has been in the game for a bit so I don’t really worry about it affecting anything with the adaptive driving modes but hold on to the stock springs just in case. 🤷🏻*♂️

Oh I'm sure they would be fine I've been told they work perfectly with it, I had eibach on my e46 too, just have to decide whether I can put up with having to reinstall them if something did go wrong

I hear ya. It's definitely a PITA should anything go awry. I kept my stock downpipe just in case as well, haha. Fingers crossed that it'll remain just a backup.

Looks perfect to me. Enjoy!

Looking at that last pic just makes me think the 240i looks better than the M2.

G42UPRA · 04-07-2023, 10:23 PM

Today I picked my my car after a 5 month wait. 🙂

It does to me. Not hating on M2, just don't like the Minecraft blocky bits. That being said, it's not as shocking to me since the first time that I saw it but I still prefer the cohesiveness of the M240i.
