Whatcha been up to? This thread usually gets daily updates LOL!

Waddup my brotha!!! Thank you for checking in. Yeah, sorry for disappearing. After finishing the side sills I was spent! I am now saving my pennies to get some Bilstein coils. I am trying to resist the urge to some other minor cosmetic mods like the rear diffuser and front lip. Every penny counts! Unfortunately it will be a while before I can get the coils so my car will stay like this for a bit. Also work got a little nuts too.

Things are settling down so will back to my over active self on these forums!

How are things with you? Now that the weather must be getting nicer on the east coast, gotta mod man!

Ah well glad to hear things are settling down.

You should bite the bullet on the diffuser. Its sooooo nice.

And yeah! A few small things, got the trunk lip in gloss black to match the diffuser! Check out my thread if you haven't seen it in a while.

Nice trunk lip! I wish I could find a nice one for the F36. And you are right, its off by 1/16"...gotta fix that!

Yeah, that rear diffuser looks tempting. Now I am thinking about getting the AWE quad exhaust so I need to figure what my ultimate plans with that before I get a diffuser. I need to say focused on getting coils though...MUST NOT SPEND MONEY ON DIFFUSER!

Here is the first coding mod I did:
Turning off the front turn signals at night.

Before with turn signals on with headlights:

After with turn signals off:

Omg how do u do this? Sorry new to this. Didn't know we can code our cars. Headlights look much better with the signal lights off during low beam

You will need first get the cable ($20 from enetcables.com). Then you need to hit up shawnsheridan to get the software and documentation. Finally, check out this thread:

http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=696777

There are a bunch of other things you can code.

Check out the pdf from this thread:

Let me know if you need help. I am in the OC so maybe we can meet up.

The side sell are OEM for M4. Getting it on is a piece of cake once you trim it like I how I did. If you go back to the first post of my build thread and clink on the link for the side sill install you can see what I had to do to make these fit right.

Nothing too exciting for most but for me its a big deal. I absolutely cannot stand scratches in the door handle cups, especially on a white car as these scratches usually turn black. I have found that Lamin-X film or something similar helps prevents these scratches tremendously. Install took about 15 minutes for 4 doors and you can hardly see it. Next up headlights which will be much more difficult.

Where can I get these? I'm worried about fingernails/rings etc scratching the handle cups too....so this might be a great investment......

thanks!
