I do like the brushed finish too, but it is a bugger for collecting little scratches & dents, mine was already starting to look tatty after just 4 months!

No not yet, ACS springs booked in for Tuesday so spreading the mods out a bit to keep my interest up.

I'm thinking of detailing it next weekend so will do it then.

teaston · 06-05-2016, 05:38 AM

Now I've wrapped all of it!

BMWChap · 06-05-2016, 06:02 AM

You've also forgotten the alu trim around your knob, it would finish it off nicely as per how it is on the M3/M4's , looks bloody good mate, well done

How much CF did you order ?

The bit around the knob is silver plastic, I just think it looks too much with it done as well, see pic below.

I bought this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201025393960

BMWChap · 06-05-2016, 06:27 AM

Well if you've got some left then just try it, if no likey then remove it

Thanks for the link mate

Agree - keep it silver.

So I gave in and wrapped the gear stick surround too! It did have a few scratches on it so at least they're covered up. I actually think it looks better in person than in photos:

Teaston, time to start the part time detailing job. Good work.

335d Touring Xdrive · 06-12-2016, 04:14 PM

Looking good. You might as well go the whole hog and get the CF gear knob...

I don't know, sorry dealer did mine.

teaston - what's your phone mount and how have you got the power cable routed / connected?

Carefully remove bit with D-N-R on it, (it's stuck on). Then you'll see a T8 screw that holds the top on, remove this and top comes off, careful with the side button. You'll need new double sided stuff to put it back on.

It is a Brodit active holder, get them from http://www.dsldevelopments.com/

This is how I connected it: http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1228584

Or if you just want power you can tap the HU cables with their one that includes hard wire kit, or to save money get one like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HitCar-DC-...gAAOSwZjhXIxEs

I'm thinking of just wrapping the blue strip on mine. Might do it gloss black. I assume the process will be very similar to this.
