Thought about USB outlets too. Don't even speed much but a valentine was all I could really think of.

- Soft-on for welcome home lighting with license plate lights
- Changed CBS maintenance display to show only mileage, not dates, for brake pad wear
- Attempted to turn on spark plug CBS and tried to set oil/brakes to a percentage instead of mileage, but all appear to be not fully supported and just show blank values
- Fogs on with high beams
- Fogs on with flash to pass
- Double blink hazard lights

And other stuff that I don't remember. I'm going to play more with each module this weekend. There are so many hidden and bizarre options! It's like BMW engineers thought of *everything* for the individual modules in our cars.
but this stuff, yes where do i start? how ?

After months and months of planning, parts searching, research... a long couple days of assembly, I finished the "installation" phase of an LCI headlight & M sport bumper retrofit.

Only to find out I need an LCI hood latch (Edit: nevermind, I'm just dumb and forgot the two catches)

Only crappy picture I have right now, I've been too busy

New fluid & filter in the transmission, & diffs. Used Liqui Moly Top Tech 1200 full synthetic Dextron 6, and the full synthetic Liqui Moly 75w140 Hypoid gear oil.

Flushed the coolant with OE BMW coolant & distilled water as well.

Car runs awesome, transmission shifts amazing in both Sport & D, and manual is smooth as silk.

Old fluid wasn't too bad (still a bit redish and not totally opaque), but it was time. No burnt smell so my clutch packs are likely still going strong.

Sending a sample off to Blackstone Labs for a look, hopefully no nasty surprises.

Which roundels did you get? Mine got delayed until Thursday. I had some CF ones before and it's much more aggressive but they got stolen while I was parked downtown one day. Replacing my stock ones with CF again. Thought about the all black ones but they were much more of a wait. Maybe next time.

Just from Amazon. The product was completely different than the picture though. Picture was real carbon fibre weave but it was just a sticker so I'm not sure if I'll put them on. Do you have a pic of yours? That sounds pretty nice

Touched up the alignment. Wasn't happy with it and now it's a lot better. Front and rear toe were minimal, but more in front so the car was unhappy and tramlined like a drunken schoolgirl.

Got the front:rear toe ratio dialed in while I supervised from inside the car to insure proper weight distribution and it's much better now.

Was REALLY nice to be able to see the toe and camber numbers move around with my weight in and out of the car.

I've always aligned with 170# in the driver seat, but seeing the numbers is an eye opener.

Got home to find out I'm not installing my Depo LCI tail lights as FedEx is clearly a bunch of douche bags and don't deliver the day the tracking claimed they would deliver by. I guess one more day won't kill me...
