If / when you wheel upgrade ping me, I need a clean set of those for my mother's lease turn in. She's done some major work on her current set.

Puma has them on eBay for $29.99 - at least in my size.
The Puma store in the Philadelphia Premium outlets in Limerick has tons for that and less some times. I've picked up sweaters etc there....

You have no idea - and we won't even get into the E46. Mom had been driving it a little bit, boggles the mind how she did some of the stuff she did. How do you scuff the hell out of a rocker panel but not curb a wheel at the same time? Seriously, in what situation would that even be possible? I quit asking questions a long time ago.

Installed so eBay clear reflectors. The fitment is fine, only issue is that some of the reflector material inside looks kind of “wavy”. But I suspect I’m the only one that’ll ever notice.

some asshole hit my car in my work's parking lot.. insult to injury is it happened at a camera blind spot, if I had just parked one spot over it would have been caught. on the bright side it doesn't look like the paint is damaged, just a little transfer from the other car, but the wrinkles next to it worry me a bit on how difficult/expensive it's gonna be..

tried posting a picture, i'll try again

New here. Few things done today.

Wrapped the roof in gloss black on my 320i xdrive. Just got her a month ago but she's looking better and better every day. Have a few other things planned

Deleted driver's door key hole..saw this in a previous post and decided to try it out. The handles are identical on each side of the car except for the keyhole on the driver's door. You can buy the piece from IND for about $50 but the cheaper option is to source the rear left handle cover on flea bay. I've never used the key but if I ever have to, I'll just break the cover.
Edit: this is only for the small cover around the key hole, not the entire grab handle. Comfort access and welcome lights are not affected.

It's been around since the E93 days. I just programmed mine to invert the button control inside the car, allow up to 25mph top movement and three button press or hold on my fob to operate the top. No more having to stand next to the car and hold the button.

Just installed it. Really quick and simple. Works great! Going to take a drive and see if it will do it at 25mph

437M

Installed a set of OEM 437M on my 2014 320i Sport Line with stock suspension. I hesitated at first as most people on the forums say that it will poke out a bit. But then go for it as I needed a tire change. Went with 235/35R19 front & 255/35R19 rear. To my surprise it is a flush fit, does not even poke out a bit, maybe the front but it is like 1mm, hard to tell, seeing it in person it looks flush. No regrets.

Sorry it happened. At least its not hit at a headlight or at a place where 3 panels meet .
You can try a PDR kit from Amazon. I never touched one before and had good luck when pulling a dent in similar area.

What kind of tires are you running? Is it a big difference for the speedo because of the different size fronts now? I'm running the factory F30 size Bridgestone S001's on my 437M's, but trying to plan ahead for when I need new tires.

2021 BMW X3 M40i  [10.00]
Yesterday, wife and I decided to take a ride up Hwy 1. I live in Santa Maria (Northern Santa Barbara County) so went up the 101 and cut Northwest in San Luis Obispo. From there it was a 90 min ride to Salmon Creek Falls where we stopped to take a look at the falls and trail.

After exploring and relaxing for an hour, got back in the car and continued North up Hwy 1 two hours all the way to Monterey, where we cut across to Salinas and headed South on the 101 another two & a half hours toward home without stopping. After Salmon Creek, almost six hours seat time non-stop.

Car felt great and while there are still some things I miss about my E90 & E92, I am very happy with how my F30 is coming. Hwy 1 was a phenomenal drive and now makes me wish I had a GoPro or something similar to record parts of the journey (I've always wanted to do that drive but never had). There was enough traffic to keep me vigilant, but not so much to slow things down excessively so unfortunately, I wasn't able to get many pics of the drive. Only a few pics of where we stopped at Salmon Creek Falls.
