Main Line, not far. Going to try and make the next C&C at Thompson.

Finally got around to installing my Bavasound Revenant amp that’s een sitting on the desk for two months. To my untrained ear, it sounds better and louder. Ready for top down season.

Installed the front lip from ebay, fitted much better than expected, two center screws were missing and the screws from the bottom of the bumper to attach/screw the lip didn't work because of bigger washers. Overall was pretty easy, didn't need any ramp or jack stands.

EDIT/CAUTION*** Don't use the self-taping screws in the middle as they will pop out under downforce, use the plastic rivets that expand inside. I had to take it off once it popped out in the center, thankfully no damage. I might switch to Rieger as it has more support in the center, more screws.

Let's see my lower lip flew off while I was driving in the freeway, it also rip my lower deflector an fender liner driver side..

Yes it snaps in place easily, just get two self tapping screws from AutoZone (1/4"X3/4") for the center. I think there are some plastic things too that people use and works better. I also used some 3M tape.

Haha, I keep checking it if anything is coming loose, only part I'm worried about is the two center screws, rest everything is solid. Might just remove it if I get too paranoid 😝 or drill in an extra hole in the center to secure it even more.

Cheers

I have a very powerful chrome cleaner which can get almost any amount of tarnish off, I can PM you a photo of it if you want. Its gray in color and gritty. It takes 3-5 coat and wipe rounds to get the darker pipes to clean but they usually come nearly new if not new looking.

You couldn't just say here the name of the product and where you bought it?
Is it a secret?

Nice I just did mine today, Goo gone really helps.

Dan08 · 05-14-2019, 02:53 AM

I went and got the tailpipes changed

Fliplegend · 05-14-2019, 08:22 AM

New pads/rotors/sensor. Second stage tripped 120 miles ago. Yes I grease the slide pins.

iScramble · 05-14-2019, 09:25 AM

Replaced my E90 335i with a F30 335i

N26Ghost · 05-14-2019, 09:49 AM

Fitted a set of 19" Apex EC-7s on Continental ExtremeContact DWS06s, replacing my OEM 400Ms on Bridgestone RFTs.

HOLY F$&K!

Why did I not believe you all and do this sooner?!

Every aspect of driving the car was improved with this change. Quieter, faster, better handling, etc.

So glad and highly recommend.

Fliplegend · 05-14-2019, 11:14 AM

What width/offset and what size tire?

dr.roro · 05-14-2019, 02:30 PM
