Had tint and wrap done this weekend.
3M ceramic 20% on back and sides.
3M gloss black on roof, shark fin and mirrors
When I get my windshield replaced I will do that with 55%.

Another update, if anyone cares

The other day I installed the Ultra Racing strut tower bar. I don't notice shit for improvement in handling but it looks cool so I chock it up as a win.

Then today I threw in the Injen cai. It sounds amazing, throws no codes and really compliments the engine bay. You can really hear it while driving, it sounds like it's right in the glove box. I posted a vid revving inside the car with the door open. You also might notice the grille slats. I'm waiting for a good chrome vinyl to come in the mail then I will put it on in between the blue and white. I did this because I like the look of the M stripes but I don't have an M car so I decided BMW colors would be cool, and to my knowledge it's never been done before.

Today I installed the M performance shifter trim. I swear this open-pore carbon fiber is so nice it's like holding onto the cock of God. It's sealed the deal for the full alacantara interior so consider my full silver interior (including shifter base, arm rest and e-brake handle) for sale or trade.

Also put on the IND painted reflectors, key hole cover and finished up the grille slats. I'm curious to people's thoughts on the grille slats. Personally I like the alternative to the M stripes.

Hey thanks man! Hopefully soon mine will a little more look like yours.
You should definitely do the roof and mirrors. Next to wheels and lowering, that is probably the best visual improvement anyone could do to an AW F30

Thanks for looking!
Never thought I would see someone who "hates" the Msport wheels. The 437m's are pretty similar to the ones on your car only 19." I had 19" Msport on my last car an e90, but I have grown to really like the 18's on mine. I'll say a 19" is marginally more appealing but is only slightly better. Maybe, it's the color of car as well that gives the illusion that 18"s are pretty good.
Yeah I quite like them but the only reason I went for 19s was the fact that the 400m 18s look small to me. None of the other 18s on look small to me.

It's odd. But overall I think the wheel itself is an attractive design

Been a while since I updated this. I've been trekking in Nepal and now I'm able to focus on the car again.

Today H&R Sport Springs arrived. I'm installing them this weekend (weather permitting). Excited for this thing to not feel so floaty. I also picked up the Dinantronics Sport Tuner. I'll do a quick review on it after I install it with the springs.

Nice mod, love the shifter!

Funny you mentioned it, I'll be leaving for Nepal in two days for trekking

My car will be sitting in the dark for 3 weeks.
