Cheapest place I could find them. They are located in PA so shipping got to me next day in NJ.

They are sold individually, so get 2.

Slightly late, as it was actually yesterday… but took my M240 for its first proper solo road trip since breaking the engine in. Conditions weren’t the best, but honestly what a piece of kit 😀

Deep clean needed this week, after that!

Some great photos. Photo #4 looks like it could be from a BMW press release. Very sharp

Over the weekend, my car jumped from "Order Placed" to "Scheduled for Production, and I ordered the Tuxmat Trunk Mat, since the floor mats are still on Back Order. I figured, might as well get i now. My luck, the floor mats will come back in stock, but then the trunk mat will be out of stock.

Ordered from the same source, thanks!

I also ordered the 5 piece interior CF kit from AliExpress

I was never big on CF, but with all the great pics it is growing on me lately..

Installed 10mm/13mm spacers F/R.
I've got the 225/255 staggered set-up and to my eye the wheels looked a little too tucked, especially in the rear. I ordered the spacers from Burger Motor Sports and the fit and finish of the spacers is excellent.
I'm really happy with the stance.

Hello! Im new to the forum.
I'd like to introduce myself and my car to the community. I've attached a photo of my car, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. I'm located in Mexico and I purchased this car in August 2022 (220i M Sport 2022). I'm very happy with my BMW and have purchased all the extras from Auto ID.

Looks nice! Did you need extended lug bolts? Or used stock?

wb8164 · 03-22-2023, 08:25 PM

Burger Motor Sports supplies specific extended bolts with the spacers. The length of the lug bolts match the width of the spacers.

Looks real nice! Did you have the roof wrapped black? If so what kind of wrap? Yours looks great like that so I might consider doing the same when my 240 is delivered!

Ruebarb · 03-24-2023, 11:05 AM

Created my own phone mount. I really did not like the phone mounts that block the controls for the passenger and the air vent. I kept waiting for a vendor to make a dash mounted option.

So I designed the 3DP my own, fits any Pro Clip mount. I can see HWR while I am driving much better too.

I also have after market winter wheel, they have a 57mm center cap. So I 3DP my owner center cap and found a 57mm BMW wheel cap emblem, these have survived since November with no issue.

AWcoupe · 03-24-2023, 12:17 PM

Looking good. I have to get that Blend Mount for my Uniden. How hard was installing the wiretap kit? Is cracking open the black housing behind the mirror tricky? You have to open that, right?

MPR · 03-24-2023, 01:48 PM

That would drive my OCD crazy having a weird attachment above my ID7 screen

Kanola · 03-24-2023, 04:41 PM

First time posting here, but it’s been a week now since I’ve bought my new M240i! Attaching some pics, as well as a pic of my first mod, a red start/stop button! I heard it adds 10HP? 😂

Installed CF steering wheel trim and CF paddle shifters. I *think* interior mods are done for now.

LiLmunsta · 03-25-2023, 06:23 PM

Looks good!! Where did you find the steering wheel trim?? Can't seem to find one that works with the heated wheel.

It popped into 2 pieces with ease, patience is key. Wiretap was simple, the blend mount is excellent.
