Recently traded in my 428i coupe for a 430i Grand Coupe. Got the base sport model. Only option was heated seats. Recently got tinted windows and put in the black kidney grill off my 428, luckily it's the same part #. Hoping to lower it with H&R springs soon since the handling is way worse than my 428 that had the MSport suspension, and it seems higher.

Hi,

I'm still in the process of finalising the rebuild of this install, primarily in the trunk area. The opening event for the season was last sunday and I had EMMA Judge training on the saturday and on the friday morning, the car was more or less gutted

Anyway, got most of what I needed in place and drove up to the venue in Jönköping on saturday morning and participated in the EMMA Sweden Judge Training and then judged 7 cars (5 sound, 2 install) and also entered my car in Master OEM on the sunday. The judging was somewhat challenging as I was new to it but also because there is a new competition CD for the 2018/2019 season, but all good in the end. :blush:


First entry in Master OEM and finished in second place with a decent sound score and a 401 total. Had 2 point reduction on the install since I hadn't updated the documentation which was expected. Very happy with the result since I had almost no time to tweak prior to the event.

I didn't spend as much time documenting the rebuild as i was extremely pressed for time, and only focused on the shots required for the EMMA documentation required for competition. But I can provide some nice pro shots taken by a photographer during the competition on sunday (NB: not my own pictures):

















All for now, on to the next competition which is May 5th!

I was able to complete some of the last bits and pieces in the trunk such as remote controlled, edge lit acrylic, here are some pics and also a small video.

Hi there
Amazing build.
I know its an old thread and stumbled upon it since I'm chasing some information on how to remove the inner panels in the trunk and inner panels on the tailgate.
Did you ever have the need to do that and know how?

  • MP Carbon Trunk Spoiler
  • (20" wheels in staggered formation) - Jury is still out on this one...

First mod on:




Other than cosmetic mods, serious SQ oriented car audio install will be realised when time permits. Audio equipment potentially going in (which was gutted from my previous car and I have at hand) is:
  • Mosconi HLA-SUM
  • Mosconi 6to8v8 Processor
  • Mosconi RCD Controller
  • 2 x Mosconi AS 200.4 amps
  • 2 x Gladen Zero Pro HG-20PV Tweeters
  • 2 x Gladen Zero Pro HG-80ZPPP-3 Midranges
  • 2 x Gladen Zero Pro HG-165ZPDC-3 Midwoofers
  • 1 x Gladen Zero Pro 12 Subwoofer
  • Cabling / Power Distribution from Connection and Knu Konzepts
  • Supra Speaker Cables

Looking forward to getting to know this car
