Car sits where I want it, but hitting bumps or potholes slams the car into the bump stops. Sounds like I'm crushing the wheel everytime I hit a significant hole or bump. Going to look into cutting them a bit. Bmw OEM rack. Rack fits perfect, as expected. Whistles at low speeds with the box on it. Waxing the roof and the bars, and the box helps with that. Gas mileage goes from 32-34 down to 24-26, on the highway. Not the most aerodynamic setup. M4 kit - Found an M4 style body kit that is bolt on for the F34. I was quoted around $1200 shipped to a port. Trying to see how much to my door. |

Installed some interior mods
Installed some stainless steel interior trim bits around some parts that I thought needed them - especially around the iDrive screen (even my Mazda3 has metallic trim around its screen) and the lights panel. It bothered me that the black trim around lights panel did not match the chrome trim around the HVAC and Radio panels in the centre stack. Chose the red start/stop button ring to match the leather.

I got the windows ceramic tinted yesterday, 50% up front and 15% in the rears. Then I am also testing out some 19's. Need new tires though, these came with standard f30 size, so roughly 26" diameter. I am waiting on fresh tmps sensors and then will be getting 255.40 and 225.45s firehawks for summer duty. Just hoping the rears work out, they will be close fit (per tirerack, the existing rears have a tread width of 9.3" and the firehawks are 8.8", so adding half inch of side wall but losing half inch of width, hopefully similar slight stretch to keep things happy.) Turn in is pretty sharp on these now and/but i can feel the road more, stepping up in side walls should be a good compromise.
Going to be above 90s here next few days, looking forward to seeing how the ceramic tint performs in the real world. Before: After: |

I have 50% ceramic in my rears and hatch, which is enough to give the desired amount of heat and light reduction, doesn't make it look like a pimp mobile, and it's legal, at least where I live, at 35% net. 35% net, because the stock glass is 70%.

@rambleon84 -- The tints on red looks great. I was close to going with a red sports pkg like yours, but couldnt say no to black in the end. The shadowline trim around the windows really elongates these GTs which I like. Black rims also look good but im biased!

Had the car for a year now. Road trips of 3.5k miles, 1.5k miles and 2 x 1k miles. The thing is a road trip beast, love it so much. Really hoping the G26 is a true GT replacement, and comes out as scheduled. Otherwise this is my last BMW.
