Just hoping these couple of things will mean they walk away to the next one, they just want easy targets not bothered with extra hassle usually, if it does that then ill be happy. My insurance has already doubled due to the car being desirable to thieves sont want it going up any more by being nicked if i can help it

However, by the time they find out you have ghost and ODB lock they will have either damaged the car getting into it or damage the car taking bits that don’t require starting the vehicle.

bit of damage is better than a missing car surely? And a cheaper insurance claim

Finally got the exhaust tips fitted that I have had for more than 6 months, the Ali express ones were ok but im selling them cheap now as this was what I had wanted all along, if you remember these were bought to originally go on but never had the time to arrange it

Flow form 18.8lbs 19” black split 5 spoke
20mm front & 15mm rear spacers
15% ceramic tint
Blacked out tail lights
Blacked out bmw emblem overlays
Gloss black side winglets
WMS matted black quad exhaust tips
AFE drop in filter

[PP3121]

Wheels are sweet; just can't do black wheels anymore. Had them on the last car and seemed to always be cleaning them!

installed the bavsound ghost speakers under the seats earlier today. havent done a complete listen but the minute or two i listened there was a little bit more fullness to the mids and bass. is it a $600 improvement? i dont think so. but i have to test it more than a couple minutes. definitely not as much of an improvement as those youtubers that probably got it for free make it out to be.

install was pretty smooth. judging when to stop screwing in the screws that attach the speaker to the floor was maybe the trickiest part because you can crack the plastic speaker cover or snap a screw by overtightening. or if youre like me, both. lol. inconsequential for now. hopefully ill never have to take my ghost speakers out again or the plastic cover wont rattle too much over time.

Interested in more feedback on this. I see that they claim to "double the bass in your BMW in about an hour".

Fast FC04 wheels?

What width and offset?

Why did you put thicker spacers on the front?

[grooveK]

maybe theyre making all these statements based on the regular sound system and not the harmon kardon. it wasnt like a 'holy shit, dat bass!' moment for me. ill play around with it some more and give an update in a few weeks once its settled and broken in.

This was in an HK system?

What about this step where you have to use a heat gun and crack open a glued enclosure? Reading that gave me flashbacks of replacing iPhone screens.

[grooveK]

i think on some other bimmers the woofer was glued on, but for the g42 they pop right out after you get all the screws undone.

[QUOTE=nype;31023770]Fast FC04 wheels?

19x8.5 (square)

Why did you put thicker spacers on the front? Because I’m running 255/35 square and need 20mm due to the 45 offset the fast wheels were .

Exactly ( fast fco4) had them shipp from Canada 2 years back and had them on my m235i gran coupe . They are a 45 offset so I had to use 20mm spacers in front and 15mm spacers in back to use them again but it worked .
Love these wheels they are so light changed my steering from how heavy and tight to light as a feather now
