Thanks and the M mats did not last that long. Not very durable compared to weather tech and OEM rubber mats.

From bimmerzone.

I already had the jack so I just got the spare tire and bag.

Honestly way to much but I worked almost 200 hrs of OT in 3 weeks $350

I did this too and love it, matches the rest of the interior, no idea why they skimped on it.

All of the little clunking and rocking when I come to a stop is gone after installing all the new front end parts.

Before.........



After.......



My wheel lock set up because I don't trust people lol



I will roll fenders next weekend

Where did u get the bmw caps? Bought some off amazon but fitment was an issue.

[obert]

From a vender on here. Sorry don’t remember what one.

Bought wheel, front, rear and steering wheel. They say it’s real c/f.

Look under vendor exterior

Well had to use my spare tire that I just bought. My replacement tire is 3 days out.

Thankfully I spent the money on the emergency spare.

[obert]

Little maintenance item.

Replaced coils 7-11-20

70112 miles

It might just be me but it seems the car is running a little quieter as in the injector ticking noise/ valve noise is not as loud.

[frazervalley]

It’s probably happy.

Is the knob worth it in your opinion?

The knob functions just like a none ceramic one. It’s the look that improves with the ceramic.

I absolutely like the ceramic look over the stock plain one.

I have a smaller ceramic one for sale if your interested lol

I had a hard time finding the bigger ceramic one for under 200. Well I actually never did find one for cheaper than that.

Thanks and I plan on keeping the car for a very long time. Even after I retire it from being my DD so the possibilities are endless lol

Just went over your build from start to current, great job on all the mods your ride is looking great. A lot of passion has been put into it lol. Eager to see the M Sport body kit once you get around to it.

Really appreciate your comment!

Just got some HK speakers to install as well.

Saving for my own place so that M kit will have to wait

No prob. You'll enjoy the HK speakers they're pretty nice certainly loud enough if you're not an audiophile.

I was in the same boat as you, it was between getting my own place (and no longer having a roomy) or getting a new car and I opted to get a new car lol. Just got a just-about-new CPO 2018 430i with about 4k miles on it about a month ago and love it and it's my first Bimmer. I'm 37 years old and not getting any younger and would like to enjoy a decent car before I get too old lol (you're never too old to have a nice car but you know what I mean). These cars are fun to drive!
