Hows it feel? Looks so much better than the previous generation shifter.

Where did you source the part, any coding required?

Thanks! It feels much fuller in the hand since the shape is different too. It's subtle but noticeable. I got it from:

http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1465952

And no coding is required for a shifter swap like this, but I had 2TB coded anyways soon after I got the car last year.

JRocker3 · 04-14-2018, 07:55 PM

Drove it

kijen · 04-14-2018, 08:23 PM

Finally could not take the brake dust anymore, went with Akebono pads on my 428i msport, hope they are good as the reviews.

sewhelan9 · 04-14-2018, 10:54 PM

Hardwired my new Valentine One radar detector using the accessory power outlet under the glovebox.

bgalakazam · 04-15-2018, 09:20 AM

Added cocomats, as I do with all my cars. Can't really see, but the beige matches the leather.

Looking good! Always nice to see a good looking touring!

BrettKA7 · 04-15-2018, 01:56 PM

Yet another wash, thanks to Santa Ana winds!

MSCD · 04-15-2018, 02:03 PM

Popped out earlier... took this photo yesterday of a fox cub we have residing in the back garden... there's actually 2 of them and the mother living in the groundhogs old burrow!

Digital_83 · 04-15-2018, 04:16 PM

Coding Sunday for me ... V-Gate Wi-Fi module + BimmerCode = Movies on the Go

[and some more..]
p.s. effing quick-access/reference buttons got all messed up; had to re-save them all over again

John in VA · 04-15-2018, 07:53 PM

First oil change performed by me on wife's 2013 328i xDrive (F30) since dealer free maintenance plan ended. Dealer changed it a year ago. Drain plug had rounded corners & was gorilla-grunted on! Torqued it & filter cap properly (25 Nm) upon completing oil drain.

Why'd you hard wire it?... I would've just left it plugged into the socket near the glove box...

Oh man rounded corners? hope you got a new drain plug... very concerning not sure about our f30s but most of the drain plug threads are aluminum that's concerning... My first bmw (e30) I took to get an oil change and the jackass was using an impact wrench to put the plug back on. I flipped a shit they ruined the oil pan. Made them pay for the replacement

I like the cleaner look of not having the coil cord hanging across the mirror/dash plus since I am in TX, I always use a sunshade when parked to prevent the interior from reaching nuclear level temperatures and plugging and unplugging it gets old.

Yea, seems like anytime the car is coded the presets are erased. That was a bit annoying.

too hot · 04-16-2018, 10:33 AM

Removed rubber winter mats and changed mats to summer versions.
Guaranteed rain for the next six months now!!
Fitted Blackvue dashcam as per some of the awesome DIY threads on here!!
Next up the winter wheels are coming off in favour of summer wheels and tyres!
Definitely ARK building time now !!

I gave up on the presets myself

I can never stick with the current setup and am always tweaking something in there so it just isn't worth it anymore

Do you by chance have diy on this? I'm looking to do the same. Currently using mirror tap for my V1 but want to add conceal display.

thanks!
