The slide function is great, love that part! Looks great too! Congrats!

Is this part the only one that slides? I assume you just remove the old and replace with this one? I wish my current one slid forward !

I have only seen Euro ones slide outside of M performance or M ones. If you wanted a colour match to your interior I would look on eBay for international ones maybe. Otherwise it's Alcantara!

It definitely took a week a week or 2 to settle. Comfort mode is pretty much the same as standard, my car is virtually always in sports plus now.

Nice! Excited to hear what it's like in the coming weeks.

My ebay prepainted spoiler came today... looks like good quality spoiler/paint job and came with tape and instructions.... will probably install tomorrow after getting car washed...

Here is the link if anybody interested... they offer other colors as well...

P.s. they are painted to order so it adds a week to delivery time... mine was 2 weeks total which isn't bad at all...

Yes it does slide, also available in leather. Whole new arm rest part, can not mod stock one. Pm if you need part numbers for this or other colours!

Still looks good!

Edit... looks like you have it all too

I do have it all! Its an addiction! Ive got full M Performance interior (trim, pedals, steering wheel, shifter, arm rest, ect) and M4 seats. Heres another angle! Got a 10.25" screen yesterday as my final interior mod!

jh_f30 · 04-19-2018, 10:58 AM

Just dropped off my car at the dealership for maintenance. Out of warranty, but they're running a labor rate special. Oil change and vehicle check, CBS resets.

Wow... I can't believe what a difference that is from a base F30.

Niart906 · 04-19-2018, 01:45 PM

Finally got to really stretch it's legs at the first track event of the season at Pocono Raceway yesterday. The car performed well, only issue was a slightly squishy brake pedal since I didn't have time flush the brakes yet this year. Managed 143mph on the back straight before running out of track, that's nearly on par with some C5 Z06's I ran with throughout the day. Not bad for a FBO car without Meth or a bigger turbo.

If anyone is interested in some track time look up Track Night in America. They run events all over the US for $150 a day. I've been tracking with them for a few years now and I highly recommend them.

MSCD · 04-19-2018, 08:54 PM

Put new black chrome tips. Just replacements. Also putting a microfiber rag in the car to clean them daily!

rixride · 04-19-2018, 08:59 PM

Cleaned my Alcantara steering wheel!

Kingpin4 · 04-19-2018, 09:02 PM

Cleaned & Detailed and had PDR done

Mountain_Commando · 04-19-2018, 09:05 PM

Looking forward to my date with my mistress tomorrow. She'll get a nice bath, tyre shine, interior vacuum, and armorall on all surfaces.

Then hit the town to turn heads!

Nice. Looking for some decent weather here.... dropping to around freeze tonight!

jh_f30 · 04-19-2018, 11:47 PM

Dealer confirmed what I already knew, oil filter housing is leaking. I've been sitting on the gaskets for a while. Looks like I'll be under the hood on Monday to replace gaskets and do a coolant flush.

Separate note: My last fill was 91aki. I need gas so I'll be stopping at Propel/Chevron for some corn juice tonight.

Triple88 · 04-20-2018, 09:44 PM

Put on my 19in AG 359M wheels wrapped in continental ExtremeContact Sports. Love the new setup. Now I need to lower it

Any plans for what tire products you'll use for getting the tires to look as well-dressed at the beautiful new wheels?

I'm a big fan of 303 Aerospace because 1. It provides UV protection and 2. It starts off glossy for a couple days, fades to satin, and then essentially rinses off because it is water based.

I've heard good things about Obssssd matte/satin tire sprays also. The matte supposedly gives a deeper black look without the shine.

Ill try the Aerospace stuff, sounds more my type then the oily ones ive dealt in the past.

For the wheels I went with C Quartz Dlux by CarPro thinking i'd just be able to spay the brake dust off but it didn't work out like that. When I had the rims bare I coated the rims in 2 coats. The stuff really likes to grip onto the brake dust.

evdok · 04-21-2018, 08:16 AM

Refitted front numberplate due to the double sided tabs come unstuck in the heat making the front sensor go berserk , I used heavy duty velcro & boy is it strong.

My 403m wheels aren't the most enjoyable to clean. IronX and/or Sonax Full Effect cut time spent down, but are pricey to use every time you wash.
