You said 2 points (0.2) and are now saying 20 points. Can you link to these magic tablets? I guess they would bring my 92 up to 100, because magic.

My phone would slip off with any moderate movement (turning/braking). I read in some previous posts, the magnet is not great.

I ordered this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I took the screw off, cleaned up the spot with an alcohol wipe. I installed the Anker ball and plate via the provided tape. I would advise to install it and not touch it for 24 hrs so the tape really sticks. My iPhone XS stays without any issues now.

Sounds like I need to keep my credit card in my wallet and my wallet in my hip pocket.

Thanks. Believe front 370mm rears 340mm. Thinking I'll go 19" wheels to give the brakes a little breathing room.

Wrapped the trim in my recently added BSM/black leather F31. Trim was brushed aluminum, starting to show some scratches. I know that carbon fiber is all the rage, but black with black in black seemed like a bit much. Besides, furniture building is my primary avocation, so I went with DiNoc rosewood.

Installed some H&R Sports in the driveway. Good times!!

Wrapped my mirrors

Generally not a fan of wooden trims, but it certainly looks unique and different from the CF wrapping, which I thought was left in the 90s...
Congrats for being brave about it!

I have to ask lol...Xdrive setup? How'd that work out for you? I swear this car hates my spirited driving which keeps me in eco pro (joking aside, I find eco mode only good for heavy heavy B2B traffic and maybe highways lol) Son of a bitch hit 53 free miles on the last shore run, all highway

Yup. I have a 14 Msport X-Drive.

I'll be honest. It still has a decent amount of body roll on hard turns. These cars could really benefit from some upgraded sways and that will be my next project. Harshness from bumps doesn't really seem to be increased as much as I thought it would. The Cadillac ride is definitely gone though. I measured 1.6" drop on all four corners which gives it a perfect stance now in my opinion.

All in all, I'm very happy with them.

Any photo's before and after? You stick with OEM struts? I would agree, X-Drive vs. RWD, I need to do something.
