Installed ebay carbon fiber mirror covers. Very happy with the fit and look, if it yellows or whatever in a few months then no biggie, cost $40 shipped.

How did you get these so bright? Mine are only noticeable if I turn the lighting up all the way, but then everything else is too bright.

Drove it!!!

Nice wheels! This week I used E-Sys to code my ride with a bunch of goodies: removed disclaimers, one-pull door opening (all doors unlock on ignition shutoff), close windows and mirrors with key fob or comfort access, tire temp. and pressure read outs, display actual speed, radio and Navi shut off when driver’s door is opened, enabled Efficient Dynamics display. Thanks a zillion to Shawn Sheridan on the coding forum for the files and guidance! I also bought two new run-flats at the dealer (the other two were fairly recent replacements for punctures). And...I had the dealer check the brakes. The front rotors and pads were replaced under warranty, which has another two months to go. I’ll take it to the dealer for the warranty inspection and last oil change in October.

I am no engineer but I can tell you from personal experience that the ticking noise was much worse with my 18" factory wheels (not sure what model # sorry) compared to my 19" Vorsteiner VFF-105 wheels. I assume more space around rotor means less air forced across the face of the rotor at lower pressure but again I don't understand the science.

Work trip - got to break in the new tires.

Looks good. Is it still plastic? I'd be interested in an (brushed) aluminium one.

Nice, what size are they? 5x112 or 5x120?

Thanks.

Thanks.

Box says "120mm wheel bolt circle".

Part # 36-12-2-455-269. I paid $80.

I got to get somebody to drive next to me on the highway and see if they actually "float" and stay stable, or do they only right themselves when stopped.

If you’re that concerned, suction cup a GoPro to your fenders and “peep” your wheels to find out

Replaced the entire trim and led module, the OEM door ambient light module consists of a single led and a light tube. The replacement trim has about 10 LEDs each, so it's super bright, actually had it turned down to 50%

Just won an eBay auction for a new Uniden DFR6 radar detector for $100! Pretty pumped.

Thanks, I see them but it noted 2 sizes! Appreciate the reply.

I may be in Pittsburgh late September, happy to assist with viewing them rolling!

That does not look too bad!
However, questions pop up:
It is not a replacement, but a stick-on:
- thin enough to move without resistance?
- can it be Stück and removed without residuals (they are mentioning glue...)?
- does the backlight come through (since it is on top of the original button)?

Anyone experience with it?

Washed this past weekend. Going for a 6k kms round trip to the Rockies starting end of next week, super excited !

Why the double paddle shifters? I personally like the m3 ones better, one paddle as a replacement, not a stick on.

I like the aggressive look on these aluminum paddles. They have a nice touch to them
