The first post has been updated, but I am planning on a three part series for the full build out, power, handling then style. Part 1 has been posted, and 2 and 3 will be done soon.

Anyone want a M4 style trunk lip in mineral grey? 8)


So many things to say here.
Firstly, thank you so much for these incredibly helpful videos. I watched them here and there when I had my ‘06 325i, but once I bought my ‘17 mineral gray 430i, I dove in. Thanks to your videos, I already have a decent idea of how to get her (her name’s Bella) where I want to take her.
Secondly, thank you for this thread. I officially joined this forum (instead of just lurking) so that I could subscribe to it.
On to some questions:
1. I’m only able to find the M4 style front bumper on the Kies website, where did you find the M Sport style?
2. If you still have that spoiler, I’ll happily purchase it from you.

Again, thank you for this amazing content.

And for the trunk lip, absolutely! Shoot me a PM and we can work out the details, as I am happy to sell it to you. If we work it out, I could ship today.

Some day.. I put about 10 miles a month on it right now because of life, Covid and lockdown.

Enough so that my wastegate rattle, which is WORST when the car is cold and not driven often, is driving me INSANE. I want to replace my turbo just to bloody get rid of the rattle at this point.

Updated.. the 10mm front spacers were still slightly recessed, so changed to the 12.5mm I had on hand. Now they are perfect!

Meant to ask you.... Do you feel the car is running better at all with the stock airbox and the drop in? I have the CTS as well, wasn't sure though if you just did it for sound or if your car felt better on the butt dyno

In this case I made the change purely for sound. With the new Pure intake on the turbo, it pushed the turbo whoosh over the top for me. Initially I really liked the extra sound, but after awhile (with the increase) it was just too much.

Haha yup, I'm in the same boat. It's also interesting just how much louder the TS plumb back made it too

Yep. I have 10mm front and 12 mm rear I now think 12 mm front and 15 mm rear would have been better. Even though I have the smaller spacers it still makes the car look so much better even though I’m not lowered.

My latest tool video is up, and gotta say the thing I like about Carly: It read errors that NONE of my other tools did, including Bimmercode, Torque and even BM3. It came up with a bunch of AC control errors, which only makes sense as I was trying to retrofit a LCI AC controls into the car. (Turns out it takes serious coding and ECU changes to work)

and now the latest addition to the car! I will finish part 3 of the build out video as soon as my rear CF diffuser gets here.

In the meantime... M Performance CF front lip!

Sometimes its the attention to the smallest details that makes the biggest statement!

Mosselman Turbo Systems have upgraded the reverse torx bolts, reusing the oem, to 10mm titanium bolts! Their oil thermostat upgrade was already really awesome in look and function, but this just tops it off!

Well done!
