Got around to take some fancy pics today. Also hit a curb at 5mph that was completely snow-covered and already have to replace one of the new Apex wheels

Loving the rear diffuser and can't wait to see how the dual tip install comes out.

Any plans to do the paint matched front reflectors as well?

Thanks! I have an appointment next Thursday to get the tips done, not sure if we're just going to add the tips and possibly do a muffler delete but we'll see. I actually already have the paint matched front reflectors, I'm just waiting until I do a full detail on the car to install them

PNWM40i · 12-30-2021, 07:00 PM

Car also seemed to meet its match today LOL couldn't make it up the last bit of my driveway since it's super steep and had over 2 feet of snowfall today. Getting some more aggressive Blizzak WS90 tires installed next week to help with some of the gnarlier snow here

Supposedly a muffler delete on these diesels makes little if any difference sounds wise so I'd skip it unless it has some other benefit like making the tip install substantially easier.

I can confirm the muffler delete makes almost no difference. I did it on my 2015 328d to add dual tips and I honestly couldn’t tell any difference, was strictly for aesthetics.

Gotcha thanks for confirming that, will try to avoid a muffler delete then unless they need to do it to fit the tips

bbhauler · 01-02-2022, 02:58 PM

Looking forward to the new tips! Thinking about doing the same on mine but not sure how the M exhaust tips fit our NA wagons.

PNWM40i · 01-03-2022, 06:06 PM

Installed a mirror tap today for my radar. Cheap and simple mod that really cleans up the interior and frees up my 12v socket. Installed in less than 10 min

Looks good! Food for thought: I think a blendmount would look cleaner than the suction cup on the windshield:

I totally agree! But I just couldn’t get myself to drop $150 on that mount, I’ll live with the suction cup for now haha

DRKNESSAudiDad · 01-04-2022, 10:28 AM

$150 ? Yes I’m with you on that suction cup paint ha ha ha.

PNWM40i · 01-11-2022, 01:09 AM

Decided to do some TLC on the car while it's down waiting for a replacement wheel. Thoroughly cleaned the car before polishing with Rupes Uno 1 AIO compound before following it up with Ammo Reflex Pro Enamel Coat. Let it cure for about 16 hours and added Ammo Reflex Top coat, and then Ammo Skin Defense Seal a few hours later. Absolutely thrilled with the results and happy I can protect and preserve this fabulous paint!

JDAURIA · 01-11-2022, 07:50 AM

M dual exhaust tips is plug & play? Or do you have to cut?

Can you confirm this is the PN#18302296889

clemsonf31 · 01-11-2022, 09:30 AM

Very well done on the paint!

They are Tommy L Garage mudflaps! Quick and easy install.

Hit him up on https://www.instagram.com/tommylgarage or email him at got6speed@gmail.com for a set

Glad you're enjoying the car! How did the paint hold up? 4 years coated with Cquarts UK and garaged.

Will continue following this build!
And going to order the Kies Rear diffuser too
