Update, 6WB retrofit completed.

Thanks to @wibbles for the work as ever!

Very happy with the end result, it’s brought the interior bang up to date!

[anielsen71]

Hmmm looks really good. Makes me think about getting it done on my F36.
Do you by any chance know if it can be fitted in a pre-LCI?

[R99]

Yes, I've seen them in pre-LCI cars.

Love the 6WB screen, if mind didn't have the half blacklite screen id be tempted to go with it!

Just out off interest, im looking to do the same suspension and wheel set up with my f31, but i want to tow with mine, do you or have you ever had a big load in the back of the car? Do you think the wheels will rub/catch on the rear?

I also bought a red engine cover, which I wasn't sure of at first - but now I feel the contrast works well.

Can i ask you if you bought the engine cover already painted or you let it paint by somebody? Really nice car my friend

Thanks, I bought it off a forum member on here - he had it done by a guy on the F Series Owners FB page.

Great quality, but I've never looked at it since fitting -

Sorry, missed this one!

Mine had the 6WA also beforehand - I could never go back to it now!

Never had a single bit of rubbing with this set up. I think towing is a fair bit different though to just having a boot full of stuff!

For what it’s worth tho, all 4 seats full & luggage for a weekend = still no rubbing

Thanks, no thats good to hear, il probably fit the spring helpers just to save damaging the shocks when towing but if you havnt got any rubbing with 4 up and luggage i think it should be fine, and if not nothing some M3 arms and the added camber wouldnt be able to sort !

Long overdue clean on the car today!

Perfect stance and a stunning color! What BMWs were Pure Blue available on? Reminds me of Laguna Seca Blue.

It’s an individual colour, so it’s just a case of going through the individual programs at the point of order

[anielsen71]

Regarding the instrument cluster, it was possible to order your car with it in 2016 right?

Im asking since mine is a 2015 pre-LCI and if i retrofit that cluster to it, I might have som issues with it going to the dealer if they need to do a gesamt codierung aka coding all modules registred from factory.
I had those issues i the E91 days. Just wondering if it would be the same for the F series.

[Moupe]

Very nice 6WB retrofit mayn. Although I do love traditional gauges for its analog simplicity and aesthetics, the 6WB is a nice transition without being too 'techno'. Sorry for my stupid question, I should have known it was an Individual color and not something out of the regular configurator!

No, 6WB was not an option at the time my car was built.

If there was any issues, I’d just get it coded back in again.

Sits nice on those wheels! Where did you get the black exhaust tips btw!?

Love the stitching on the wheel. Did you just fancy something different with the G series paddles and not the usual M paddles?

[slicer]

Damn, that looks good!

OK, so had a faff and removed the 666's - back on the 437's but with a satin black colour change and some fresh new MPSS rear boots:
