Thundernight has arrived

aguycalleddb · 07-21-2023, 04:10 PM

My 2023 Thundernight M240i has finally arrived, unfortunately the weather hasn't been good but I managed to grab some car park shots

aguycalleddb · 08-06-2023, 08:46 AM

At the tint shop yesterday for a sun strip, got some carbon arch guards too

J-RO · 08-07-2023, 10:29 AM

Are those the standard wheel center caps? Thanks.

Baldilocks73 · 08-07-2023, 01:57 PM

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.

Yeah these are just cheap ones I had in my old car, I’m going to get a nice set soon

aguycalleddb · 09-17-2023, 07:39 AM

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.

Been debating the carbon mudglaps myself. They making much of a difference and do they spoil the look much?

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

aguycalleddb · 10-27-2023, 12:32 PM

Maxton Design V2 kit fitted

aguycalleddb · 10-28-2023, 09:23 AM

Carbon exhaust tips fitted, think this finishes off the look nicely

aguycalleddb · 10-29-2023, 08:58 AM

It might be raining outside but at least the new kit looks good

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

Congratulations on purchasing objectively the best color. Part #/source on the carbon mud flaps/arch guard?
