Wednesday I'll be putting it all back on.

Why did you have to change the wheels?

Didn't want to start a conversation as to why my car wasn't stock. My wheels aren't flash- they're obviously for track work and the rubber on them doesn't help the discussion

Also they're too wide in front so I have to run spacers to clear the struts, and I run a stud kit to clear the spacers. Just lots of thing that point to using the car for something other than its standard intended purpose

Thank you!!!

lip was easy. use alcohol to clean the spoiler and the trunk lid where u will be sticking it on and then put 3m automotive tape onto spoiler and stick on the trunk. apply pressure for like 5 minutes. the mirrors was a pain. had to use force to rip them out. i got mad and pulled them out hard and they slipped out of my hands. went flying good thing it didnt land on my car. when i ripped them out i thought i also broke the clips but nothing was broken.

Started the Rear fog activation while waiting for my ENET cable.
The rear fog switch is now functional, will be coding later.

Finally gave up trying to figure out on my own how to raise the windshield wipers to 'replace mode'. Busted out the manual. Go figure. What a weird process.

Oh yeah, and added MPPK.

Bought some replica wheels and some really nice Continental ExtremeContact DWS tires.

Added the only ///M you'll see on the outside of my car by putting a new license plate frame. It's the chrome with the simple ///M.

Marckymarc305 · 04-23-2014, 03:13 AM

Added the front lip and diffuser, painted gloss black. Still more to add this week hopefully

Ordered the FSC to activate Sirius receiver.
Also called Sirius, comes with a full year of service.

Still waiting for my ENET cable to do some coding...

Marveled at the copious amounts of pollen it collects while sitting in the office parking lot.

My wife's Mini S is always covered in pollen too. Luckily, I park in a structure.

To answer the original question:

- added 3.5 inch black exhaust tips last weekend.

- purchased the iPhone snap-in adapter today

- ordered PPK which should arrive next week.

Yesterday was my (43rd) birthday, so today I put in the new floor mats my girlfriend got me as a gift.

The red-trimmed Sport Line mats are all over, but I found the all-black versions at ECS Tuning.
They list the BMW model number as: 51472293352; with the ECS model number being: ES#2537479.

Thank you! I hate the red trimmed (sport) and blue times (MSport) mats. My stock mats are due for replacement.

mattssi · 04-23-2014, 02:47 PM

My car hasn't arrived yet (any day) and I have JB4 and Black Grills waiting.

Alpine435i · 04-23-2014, 02:57 PM

Got in. Started it. Drove it to work. Parked it.

Those wheels look great. I usually prefer fewer spokes, but those look incredible.

Thanks, I appreciate that. I was going for a sporty/classy look.
