Added 50 HP. 🫠

Found something similar on Amazon for $25. I am guessing I’m only getting 25 hp for the price.

I went with 50th anniversary.

From the picture, it looks like imitation cf...which make $25 a ripoff.

It is imitation, but it was cheap and looks fine imho.

There is no need to remove it …

Picking it up from PPF and ceramic.

At least it comes with hardware covers and bumpers for the back of the plate lol. Just no screws.

Waiting for perm plate to put mine on.

Finally got the front reflector deletes completed and she got a bath.

sacowich · 11-02-2023, 07:54 PM

Slapped on rear bumper trim inserts (Autotecknic). BMW version price is ridiculous. My feelings are mixed. Might improve with more aggressive rear diffuser (waiting on MHC). Opinions welcome.

Nice. I got those on as well. What tint level is that? Going tinting tomorrow, so trying to decide.

15 Kavaca Ceramic IR Window Film from their nano ceramic line. Anti ir/uv/glare etc to help with the summers.

Yeah, after checking the rear out after a few days. Most definitely.

If that's the M performance CF plate frame you can find it on Amazon from some vendors for about $20-30 less than direct. Not a huge difference but it's something.

M Division · 11-03-2023, 04:30 AM

Installed a new set of test springs from a very well known brand.

Huge improvement in aesthetics, rides comfort is identical to stock but slightly lower COG and less roll and pitch. Slightly better steering feeling but I still need an alignment done.

Perfect as BMW intended surely...

So you had to push the button, a confirmation screen would pop up but the “confirm” button (a second push of the button) would be inactive for 2 seconds. This delay didn’t exist prior to iDrive 8.
Versions 11/2022 and 03/2023 had the delay.

Now that we’re on 07/2023, apparently the delay was removed. Just in time for me to not test it because my presets don’t require confirmation lol but it’s good news

Good news as I've just updated my car so I can switch M Drive Mode Screens via my M1/M2

Eibach Pro-Kit, right?
In their information, they are saying 30 mm front and 20 mm rear. Can you confirm this after settling?

Maybe I missed it, but what did you actually install in the video?

GregW / Oregon · 11-03-2023, 02:28 PM

Picked up my car from break-in service. 7,200, here I come (my F82 went to 7,600, what the hell!). Squeaky drivers window was investigated, but a new seal has to come from Germany.

sacowich · 11-03-2023, 05:01 PM

SunTek Evolve 15% on sides and back done today. Will go back to do 50% front, but ran out of time.
Struggling with choice of wheel color. Normally would go black/gunmetal, but like the look of gold/bronze on ZB.

IHateBrakeDust · 11-03-2023, 06:08 PM

I am debating those rear bumper carbon fiber inserts as you said it does need some aggression in the rear. Looks great on lighter colors

I concur on that.

Love this combo!
