More details, please!

Setup my Nexus 7 (2012) in my car with a Brodit / Proclip mount and ran my wires into the center console. Probably will switch to a 90 degree micro usb and get a Fiio E10k DAC which will allow me to loose the extra audio cable but this works for now. Not sure how I feel about having to restart my tablet every time I want it to connect to the DAC since it's not a fixed install. Using Timur's ROM right now and a 2.1A adapter. P.S. the last 3 photos are before I ran the cables through glove box and over to console so that wire no longer hangs down the middle.

Also attempted to restore the rubber seals around all my doors to rectify the squeaks, re-attached the boot cover around the emergency brake and fixed slow cup holders... but I don't think you guys need to see anymore photos already posted enough

After having one of my coolant drain plugs pop out for a reason which escapes me I ended up losing all my coolant as I was pulling into my driveway ( lucky it happened there I guess..) I had to order a new plug and get some new BMW blue and fill her back up.

If you don't this know you should probably do the bleed procedure about 2 times to get all the air out.

Mounted my front plates (required by law) without the use of the atrocious factory bracket. I just drilled two holes onto my plate to match the existing holes on the bumper. I lined the back of the plate with hockey tape to minimize scratches. Much better than the jumbo sized bracket!

Debadged, did a full maintenance wash, and polished the exhaust tips!

N54Twin · 07-17-2016, 09:44 PM

Painted my RPI Scoop it was once black and my steering wheel trims.

OnlyDriveGerman · 07-17-2016, 09:46 PM

Vacuumed, washed and tire pressure checked. Ready for another week of fun commuting. Think I'm getting a few ding pulled his week too.

Over 12 lbs lighter than US-spec. Around $12 / lb. Combined with the carbon / kevlar M3 bumper bar in front, the car feels more agile resulting from lowered polar moment of inertia. Really. No kidding.

Sorry to hear - glad you avoided anything more than inconvenience

NeT335 · 07-18-2016, 08:47 AM

Not today but installed m3 steering wheel a couple of days ago

Fundguy1 · 07-18-2016, 08:51 AM

Love mine. Got some fancy Alcantara trim for it.

E30_335i · 07-18-2016, 08:58 AM

3 hour install. If you do one, no need to pull bumper cover off to install.

ATLIEN · 07-18-2016, 03:27 PM

I am on Michelin PSS and finally broke down and bought a spare tire.

siphor1989 · 07-18-2016, 09:42 PM

Did a whole bunch of stuff...

- Walnut blast
- Coils and plugs
- RB PCV valve
- Boost solenoids
- Diverter valves
- Replaced all vacuum lines
- 4 new jack pads
- Wash, clay, polish, wax

Feels like a brand new car!

randi41 · 07-19-2016, 05:11 AM

Installed new front pads and refreshed my power steering fluid.

F22_Raptor · 07-19-2016, 05:43 AM
