Great job!

Haha, thanks mate. I now find myself avoiding rain like a plague...I hate the leopard spots after a drizzle

Get bimmercode and a dongle. Much easier.

Oil change and transmission adaptive reset at dealership. Now hopefully I can move forward on a JB4

FastActionJax · 08-10-2018, 01:38 PM

Just got these in today and installed them, seller had me thinking they were carbon, but they are not. they are hydrodipped. I'm not 100% on them, I've always thought fake carbon was a ricer thing. they look alright or should I return them? he said he'd take them back due to the miscommunication. I paid 60 bucks for them.

My personal preference is against fake carbon. I say, send them back and order gloss black or real carbon.

Yep, same direction I'm leaning in. looks kinda dumb to me with a real CF spoiler and fake mirrors.

obert · 08-10-2018, 08:38 PM

My concern with fake stuff is it fading from the sun so I would go real. Plus your car is to nice for fake stuff

Got a 6inch tint strip on my windshield today to help keep the sun out of my eyes

Lowered on H&R springs, 15mm spacers in rear (vsrf sent the wrong lug nuts for the 12mm front spacers so no front spacers yet) and had wheels powdercoated gloss black. The H&R springs really removed the wheel gap without being ridiculously low.

V Style CF front lip @ JHP_Dynamics
Lowered on HR super sports

Kailec · 08-12-2018, 08:00 PM

Not quite today but got my car back after front bumper was repainted (scraped it on a curb) and had my CF lip installed as well:

...a few better pics after a "quick detail" product

Uber Commuter · 08-13-2018, 10:55 AM

Left it parked in the garage and drove my R53 Mini today instead...

F3x newbie here - hey all..

Took my new-to-me 2016 435iX GC MSport w/THP for a great drive over Guanella Pass (11.6k ft) this morning. Better than caffeine — I’m lovin’ it!

fobrob · 08-13-2018, 02:52 PM

2 days ago, but finally installed VRSF FMIC & CP. Now to get the downpipe installed & BM3 flashed.

F3086 · 08-13-2018, 03:50 PM

I buffed off the dealership wax job and applied my own stuff on Sunday. Had the 50% tint stripped off and 20% put on, with 50% added to the windshield.

I have a front lip and lip spoiler coming in Thursday. Still trying to find wheels I want, and coilovers.

Black EC-7s would look pretty mean and not break the bank.

FastF30 · 08-13-2018, 08:04 PM

Coded my car today!

Even though my car came with Blue 370mm Mbrakes, the car didn't have paddle shifters... I coded the Sport transmission today and yes it shifts faster and harder so I'm very happy with that and found some "M" series paddles for $90 so that will be happening soon...

Mirrors done
Waivers done
Seatbelt done
Digital speedo done

Still gotta do the mirror screen...

Very Happy with it all...

Next is MHD....

Waltabeast · 08-13-2018, 10:15 PM

Took advantage of the $10 mod lol. See if i like it after a week or so.
