Yeah, no tools required. Just a couple of tabs that are easy to release.

I got my driver-side windshield wiper arm replaced. Was experiencing a very bad judder when operating. Little overnight stay at the dealership - easy peasy.

Now we wait for rain...

Had a shop install the Dinan exhaust. They had some issues getting the spring to line up with the exhaust valves, but eventually got it to work. I think I need to offset the tips though. Sounds great and seems to be worth the price.

That exhaust sounds pretty good. Dinan could have done way better on the tips though.

I love the sound and the design of the tips. I have them slightly staggered on mine and the thin surround of the tips makes the larger size look good to me. Had they been thicker, they would have looked gaudy.

My wife said Dinan should have made the tips shiny black to match the vehicle trim, and I kind of agree with her. Only complaint, even if minor.

Today my car is having the roof vinyl wrapped in satin black.

Technically yesterday, got front windshield (70%) and eyebrow (25%) tinted, have this wicked glare from all the places? Dome light lens that was reflecting sun from the sliver trim around the dash, right into my eyes.

TheGeekGuy · 08-10-2023, 03:25 PM

Tomorrow I am having the axle back, Dinan exhaust fitted.

I’m still a couple weeks out but I’ll be doing 40% on the windshield, 22% on the sides and rear. Once it’s done I’ll post pics so folks on here can get a good idea of what it looks like.

I saw that and at first glance thought it was a driving simulator video game at an arcade. Still getting used to that huge widescreen!

I had a 230i courtesy car the other day with ID8. I couldn't wait to get my 2022 M240i back

Ceramic coated the rear wheels & calipers. The car is now 100% done

Exhaust installed and it is night and day different. Can't recommend enough the Dinan system and if you're in SoCal EAS to install and purchase through.

Washed the car last night and this morning got the TLG mudflaps installed. Overall a really easy install and should keep the mud/dirt from kicking up on the side skirt now.

What color is your car? Phones and screens show colors differently, and I'm not sure what color your car is.
