I already bought one of these from Aliexpress. 🤣 Attaches by Velcro—so I hope the underside is furry!

Links / description of parts and how it’s attached please.
This was an annoyance from day one when I fitted my dash cam.

PS, you know what would make that boot area even cooler

He didnt paint the sensor saying he was worried it would cause errors so im going to try a vinyl (i have a very very close match) and test that theory out, but this feels just so right for me

Could the panels have been painted without taking them off the car?

Parking sensors fixed

Interesting to see how the car looks with the black parts colour coded.

From the back I think it’s an improvement as it loses the “bottom half of the bumper is missing” look.

In profile though it adds weight to the rear.

It seems the designer was prioritising the profile and imo it looks great.

Paint chip protection fitted

JoeyJoeJo · 07-10-2023, 10:57 AM

Are they the autoid version and straightforward fit?

And just remembered on fitting - how was the kidney trim CF fitting? I intitiall thought it was the whole piece but jsut being the front part, is it jsut clips or more involved?

nope it is the whole assembly not just the CF bit, I chickend out got a garage to put it on and he said it was a total **** to do so glad i did

800 miles racked up, really happy with it atm, love using true manual mode when it can be used, coming from 30+ years of manual driving I was dubious but im liking it, and in Auto S mode it holds the revs really well that using manual probably isnt needed tbh.

Also I did a 100 mile motorway/freeway trip and returned 40 mpg (UK) in eco mode, thats just silly for a car with this much performance. Mind you my last car avergaed 14-18mpg urban LOL

Sprint mode is the winner. Brilliant when readying to overtake.

Are you satisfied with your purchase? If so, do you have a link to the product? Thanks.

I’ll find the link. Don’t have the damn car yet, so no idea if the Velcro will work. If it doesn’t, I will drill and use black plastic automotive push in rivet thingies.

The underside isn't furry

Prince Thundernight · 08-01-2023, 09:04 AM

I could use strong self adhesive Velcro then

As you have a European spec M240i, I have one question regarding to the M Tech pack: is the additional cooler under the car or elsewhere? Any picture of it or of the area?

Thanks in advance cannockwolf
