Nice!

Still upsets me that we can't get the Sport Seats in North America AND we can't get Cognac in leather, only Sensetac.

I like the fact that the usually blue section is black. May I ask where you purchased them from? Thanks.

They are the Genuine BMW floating centre caps with Black / Grey carbon vinyl overlays from - https://www.superwrappz.co.uk/collec...steering-wheel

I had them on my 330i before the M240, they’ve lasted well in all weather.

Added some red covers to the V bars, I didn’t realise the ‘23 cars are different so wrapping would be a better option and fitted the G22 strut braces

I was literally thinking the same thing seeing these pictures. Besides the lack of sport seats in NA, I would have gone with Cognac Sensatec, but I wasn't willing to give up the seat side width adjustment, so I went with black/blue stitching. The Cognac is sharp looking against Portimao blue...oh well. What could have been.

They are stopping some of the spray, especially since having the larger tyres.
Winter is just starting here so time will tell, as for the looks, the fronts don’t stand out and the rears are adjustable so can be tooted in more. I personally like the style of them and had them on my previous G20 3er too

Debating on grabbing the rear side diffusers from Maxton. Did you need to drill in the bumper?

Yes, there’s four small screws holding them on, it’s in the underside of the black so if you wanted to remove them I don’t think you’d see the holes
