Benzinfabrik offers replacement LED modules for ambient lighting. They offer modules for the footwell, door cards (front and rear) and the radio trim. They're brighter than OEM and offer other colors. They're plug n play and work well.

Finished my MPSK install, plus new wheels+rubber. Apex EC7R wheels.
Front: 18x9 et 42 + 255/40 tires
Rear: 18x9.5 et 45 + 265/40 tires
Fronts are close but no rubbing, no spacers.
Jury is still out on the exhaust, I'm a tad underwhelmed. Should have got a Remus.

Did water pump and belt tensioner. Took 6 hours in total, took my time. Hardest part was getting the damn radiator fan out and back in, and the water pump being stuck on the block since 2017 lol. Took 4 hours to remove, 2 to replace and put everything back and bleed system. Good as new. Beats $1400 at the dealer lol.

Shoutout to our savior Kern for his video, made it very easy to follow.

i heard both in real life and think remus sounds better, not sure why MPPSK is treated as god status on these forums. MPPSK sounds good but its very expensive and tune isnt even as good for 6MT cars.

It’s actually stopped raining for 5 minutes here in the UK so have it a long overdue wash…the sun even came out to show the paint at its best..😎

It’ll probably rain again now it’s clean ..🙄🤪

That goes without saying.

I spent about three hours on mine last weekend, but it's still pollen season here so it's been pouting in the garage since. Been driving the beater.

Oh and if BMW USA had offered that motor (or the N55) here it would be in the garage. We only got the 328d/i F31, automatic-only.

Installed GTS style tail lights in red on my 440i. Love them. LCI tails are nice but the aggressiveness and startup animation of the GTS ones are beautiful in my opinion.

Where did you get these? I dig them.

Installed Koni SAs and Eibach Springs on my F31. Fitment hasn’t fully settled but already looks so much better than stock.

Best part is, did the job at home with a couple buddies… turns out we destroyed one of the wheel hubs so now the car is in the shop getting fixed

Nice! I have some Eibach's waiting to be installed still, hopefully after I'm done moving this month that'll be my next mod.

Otherwise nothing too exciting for me lately (still a weird concept after my E46 days of constant repairs)... swapped my summer wheels on, changed the oil & installed a billet CTS oil filter cap.

Nice, I was just looking at that one today since I think my stock one might be leaking.

Did it as a bit of preventative maintenance for this reason even though mine wasn't leaking yet. It also looks and feels much nicer than the plastic OEM one, so worth it in my books!
