Let me know if you are ever looking to get rid of your brushed trim...

archerz · 09-19-2019, 04:17 PM

changed auto stop start to remember last setting and also changed so the radio turns off (when ignition is off) when you open driver door.

Both of those have bugged me since getting the car. possibly do some others later but car is booked in for a new diff on monday so i'll wait after that.

7iM3less · 09-19-2019, 07:20 PM

PM'd.

Technically yesterday, but replaced my shift knob with the Mperformance knob. Did the same thing back when I had my e46 and it was the best investment. Despite being pricey, its totally worth the shorter shifts and weighted feel.

Looking good! Now you have to get the matching hand brake.

I also installed a 340i exhaust on the car last week with VRSF 3.5" tips, and threw a GFB DV+ on a couple weeks ago.

Car feels great now, sounds awesome too with the BM3 burbles.

I was thinking about putting the 340 style exhaust on my 2016 328, if u don’t mind me asking how much it ran u? Do u have a link to parts?

By the way, Where's the cheapest to get one of these?

You're best off watching the classifieds. These pop up often when 340 guys upgrade to M Perf, Dinan etc and the stock one can be had for next to nothing. Same for diffuser when folks upgrade to M Perf.

I'm guessing haven't looked in a while aside from whatever your exhaust shop charges you, should be under $300 for everything you need.

Changed out cylinder 3 today.

Only think u need is the exhaust and a muffler shop willing to do a little bit of fabrication.

I'd recommend getting the 340i hangers too but it will work without them.

The tricky part is getting the exhaust to sit correctly (which requires cutting your hangers or getting 340i hangers) Mine still sits slightly low, which I can personally live with, but keep that in mind

deviantspeed · 09-21-2019, 08:22 PM

Yay, first accident.

Guy in a parking backed up pretty quick and hit me. Door is all crumpled in, doesn't seal properly any more. Can't wait to deal with this on Monday. At least it drives.

Cheapest I could find was from bmwofnewton on eBay, it was $194 before taxes & fees. Still crazy to me to spend that much money on a shift knob, but definitely worth it since it's the one part of the car you physically touch and use nonstop.

Shoot, sorry. Good luck.

MSCD · 09-22-2019, 08:55 AM

Fit check... not sure... whether to install or forget the idea. Was a birthday present! Could do with a darker paint on the car!

Skyhigh · 09-22-2019, 09:37 AM

Black on white is generally a fantastic combination due to the contrast!
What are they however and how are they attached?
Too many examples for spukest and splitters detaching on the motorway with the potential
to cause serious damage to others...

They screw in underneath. I could use 3M tape as well on the top. A little disappointed on the fit though.

Skyhigh · 09-22-2019, 10:58 AM

Screw in existing holes or new holes are drilled!?
The fit (and look) appears decent on the photos.

Most of the current screws line up. A couple are off though.

Agree it looks 'ok'. There's a decent gap and the drivers side (US) doesn't angle correctly.

Skyhigh · 09-22-2019, 11:46 AM

I see what you mean now. At least the gap. Could be the panel behind though?

Where are those from and are they actual CF?
