Upgraded from the OEM led with ambient mods led strip mod to Alibaba upgrade which needed me to remove the door panels (rear one is chewed up. stupid dog). Both doors are on in the picture, but you can really tell the difference:

Finally got rid of the Dealer frame on the license plate... add BMW logo to my cup holders even though you can't really see them unless your right on top of them...lol...

Also fitted Wings on the front fascia before I paint them color matching to body paint... bummer part is Passenger side fit great... Driver side had 1/8" gap on one-side... got them from Hong Kong... $60... might cut notches on the back and use the heat gun to conform them... probably will end up warping it worse than it is...

But I really really do think they look cool once they get painted... really updates the fascia...

I picked her up for the dealer on 10/19, and my buddy's shop tinted her on 10/20. Nano ceramic 20% all around.





My 1st time using that tint. Usually I just went with carbon, but my friend convinced me to go w/ nano ceramic (because he was going to charge me for the price of carbon) I do actually notice the sun rejection though.

Tomorrow I scoop up 403M's and then the 397's will turn into winter wheels! I'll swap the 403M's and hope for a couple of weeks here in New England, before having to winterize!

Congrats on the purchase and welcome to the forum!

There are plenty of reports on the internet. All traceable to cheap materials and inadeqaute attachment.







Never underestimate aerodynamic forces! Imagine what happens when a piece of your spoiler breaks off by say 160 km/h and gets in your tire..... or into the car behind you.

Guys this is fearporn.

Step 1: install properly
Step 2: inspect occasionally as you do with all parts/angles of your car

[Skyhigh]

Fearporn led to a few legal cases in Germany in the recent years. All had one thing in common - cheap, aftermarket splitters (front-spoilers).
Just FYI.

Going to write a review after the 50 mile adaptation period and going through a few different driving situations.

Changed the Diesel fuel filter, and gave it a good bath and interior cleaning.

Earlier this week I relocated the now superfluous “cup holder” led to illuminate the center channel, for shhhs n giggles.

Put the TLG guards In the back and switched to my winter set!

With a trip to Scott Louisiana looming ahead I finally migrated my six head ALP system over to the F31 this past weekend.

2 RX, 1 TX front. 2 RX, 1 TX rear. Controller in the convenience tray

We'll be testing it against the ProLaser 3, Truspeed, Stalker RLR and the DragonEye this weekend.

Found out I can fast forward songs on Pandora (phone bluetooth) with my steering wheel ....

I've found Waze and look at all those people braking works good... but very curious about your set-up...

Yeah, situational awareness is #1.
Work sends me all over the SW region so I've run various systems for the past twenty years from Lidatek to Escort to Blinder, Laser Interceptor and now the ALP. By far Waze is the most effective countermeasure I've ever used.

If I want to drive the speed limit I've gotta Jeep Wrangler for that.

Really Glad to hear that but also really surprised and glad to have someone's opinion like your's with actual usage... I for the most part keep with traffic which is usually speeding to begin with lol... but I like to do logging on my car and I always have waze going set to "Home" just driving around in areas that I don't need it for just to listen for updates/reminders for traffic cams etc... long wide open stretches especially around long sweeping curves I slow down no matter what if it's only me on the road...
