I got the rear brake ///M clips but they do not want to stay clipped in place. It's like the little spring knob is not catching on the hole in the caliper. Oh well... no big whoop.

Looks good 👍

[BRAKE!]

Very nice! Love how you got the bi-color wheels to break up all of the black. Personally, would've kept the ZHP OEM knob, but the black forest one looks good too.

I see you're in CT; would you mind sharing the dealership and deal info?

Instead of flashing the light moves in a line until the lens is full of light.

not OP but i will chime in for BMW ridgefield, special ordered in July 2023 at MSRP, good (but not absolute lowest) financing rate, no hassles or add ons. would recommend.

Instead of the turn signal simply flashing, it pulses from the door side to the edge of the mirror. (Like how many Audi brake lights pulse from trunk to the outside edge.) I know... a little gimmicky, but I'm a nerd & love that kind of stuff.

I got it from Kies Motorsports, if you're curious or interested.

I paid MSRP, no shenanigans, upcharges or shady nonsensical fees. Would have liked to get some % off sticker, but in the end I loved the car the way I built it & am happy with my purchase & experience. I got the M Performance Height Adj. Spring kit that is installed at the port. And it is SPOT ON perfect, including the alignment. There is even a sticker they put on the driver's side door jamb to alert service dept that it's installed.

I bought it from New Country BMW here in Hartford - Tevin Overton was my sales guy & he was great. He was as excited about my car as I was! Super nice guy, very easy going. This is my 2nd BMW I've bought from them & I've always had a great experience. Their service shop is great, too.

You need the painted front side reflectors, IMO.

Stop trying to spend my money.

I am doing that & the rear deletes, too. I wanted to see how pronounced they all looked before I pulled the trigger on those. The reds aren't too bad, but the orange ones are definitely too obvious on the black.

Do you know if that center armrest comes in any color but what you have? My interior is Cognac.
Thanks!

Howdy!

I have only seen this particular armrest in the black/gray. I don't think BMW makes an alcantara armrest in another color. Here is a link to a site that has several other color options for an alcantara armrest - but none are cognac/similar to it. Perhaps they will eventually make one or you can ask them?

Thanks. I checked that web site. No cognac.

Also, the 50th Anniv. roundels....82 mm size?? One site had this and
74 mm as both for the G87 M2....??? Who has the best prices for these...if you might know.

Thanks again!

82mm. Here is the part number: 51148087190

You gotta trim the clips off the back. Also, I used 3M adhesion promoter after cleaning the surface with isopropyl alcohol. Warming it up with a heat gun made the original come off squeaky clean.

The BFI knob feels real nice in the hand. It's really sharp & very well made. Plus the way the BFI knob attaches to the shaft, it's not coming off while shifting. (Which I've heard has happened to some of the folks in the forum! Could you imagine??

I would have LOVED to have had the M Perf CF shift knob w/ alcantara boot like they had for the F87. That was a sharp one for sure!

Hi Capt. Here's a thought..?? Is the hood 82mm and the trunk one
74mnm? Or are both 82? I thought I picked up somewhere that
they are not exactly same diam. ??

Thanks Much! And for the Part #

I used the same for the trunk & hood. The original roundels are 84/72 respectively.

OP, where you are to install the Carbonio No Drill Plate frame with no problem?

[MASHCT]

I got no skin in the game with any of the vendors mentioned below. Just giving my honest feedback. Everything else I've installed, all OEM and the BFI shiftknob - flawless quality & fitment.

I've since installed:

Kies Motorsports sequential turn signals. Note on fitment - these do not fit 100% as well as OEM. There is a gap & it causes a whistling that gets old fast when your windows are down. I am going to leave them in since I bought 'em, but I'd advise against purchasing until Kies works on the fitment.

Morel underseat subs. Easy to install, very well made & totally plug and play. Noticeable improvement in bass volume & quality. Highly recommend. I've not replaced the rest of the system yet, but I am. I've started work on the psgr door (sound deadening, running wires.) BMW has totally changed the door construction & for the better.

Zunsport oil cooler grille cover. $170. Easy install. Does the job nicely. Doesn't add any weight worth talking about. Don't overbuy/pay for this mod. Get the Zunsport.

CanDO+. Super easy install. I have not played with its functions/possibilities yet - but the weekend is coming.

SST Exhaust Valve Controller. Super easy install, well made unit. NOTICEABLY LOUDER EXHAUST. Program A & B to your homelink buttons - total, easily accessible valve open/close control.

50th Anniv Heritage Roundels. Use 3M adhesion promoter - don't skip this step.

Kies Carbon Fiber seat back covers. $159 - totally worth it. Very nice covers & weave/finish are both perfect. Spruces up the interior very nicely.

Hexagon mesh in front grille & Carbonio no drill license plate mount. Does what you'd expect. But I am going to look for a better grille solution. Works for now. (The Carbonio needs the mesh in order to be mounted.)

I was out taking pics while you were writing this post, it seems. LOL

Check it out - worked out great!

[coupegod420]

What is CanDO+? Not seeing anything online about it’s existence

Very curious to hear what your exhaust sounds like once the parts are installed
