Installed some goodies over the weekend - F30 Mineral Grey

I gave her some much-needed attention this weekend. And it was a good excuse to dust off the camera and put it to use.

New performance brakes, brake flush, and an Alcantara steering wheel.

She’s coming along very nicely 😍

Clean!

I have to know. I also installed those slotted/dimpled rotors over the weekend. Do you get a ticking/fluttering noise while driving from the rotors like I do?

That color looks amazing.

Yes I do. I also installed ceramic pads and I assume it created even more noise. It is kind of annoying but I had to buy matching fronts for the rear performance brake upgrade. Something I am willing to deal with.

Looks great! Very clean and subtle mods that make it pop!

2 questions..

1. Which wheels are those? Mind sharing specs?

2. Steering wheel - which one did you go with? With so many options I ended up getting the cover kit from Amazon that goes over factory steering wheel, and wife helped stitch it together.

Thank you for your kind words. I wanted to go with an OEM+ look so I am glad you feel the same.

1. Wheels are Niche Targa M130 that I got from a local member who had abused them so I got them extremely cheap. Had them refinished in a satin black to make the aggressive lines really stand out.

Specs:
18x9.5 +40 w/ stock 255/40/18
18x8 +40 w stock 225/45/18 but with a 20mm spacer making it +20

I am planning on dropping the car on H&R sport springs paired with adaptive suspension which I feel will fit the stance perfectly. I do not think I could get a better fitment than this

2. I ordered the cover off of eBay from a Chinese supplier and am less than thrilled with the cut. The overall fit was okay, but when wrapped around the wheel there is more space between the edges than I had hoped. When stitched you can't really tell and overall it is a good value to really change the look and feel of the interior.

Looks great!

You should smoke/black out those front orange reflectors, would clean the look up even more.
