What did you do to your car today?

BeastMode335i · 03-02-2015, 02:31 PM

There we go

I figured since the original BMS DCI picture was so large, I'd just draw one for you instead..

That Sonax stuff is my new favorite product ever..!! Next I'm going to try that SwissVax on my leather and see if I can get it to come out like that guy from YouTube who does the coral red seats and they come out looking phenominal!!

Forget to post in Friday, installed 15mm spacers upfront and 20mm in the rear, along with reinstalling my style 225M's. Will be posting a picture as soon as the snow clears up...

What do you think about this one from BavAuto?

The only part of that knob I don't like is the orange/red shift pattern on there. Other than that I like it!

Unfortunately you're not pointing anything out to me that I haven't noticed already lol. The only piece that bothers me is center console not matching up with the large dash piece. The problem that I had is they were 2 separate vinyl sheets that came from an ebay seller and they were rectangular. Long story short, I sent back the 2nd piece that I did the center console with to get a matching piece to the dash piece but received the same pattern

. I got sick of staring at the wood center console and decided to wrap it until I order more vinyl.

Eventually it will be fixed but for now I am content.

Got my car back from getting the water pump replaced under warrantee.

Nice. I might have to do this. I was thinking of just the M lip on the stocker, it does look good, but hte M3 style is growing on me. Do the larger side air ducts make the oil cooler more effective? In fact, I'm guessing you have just as hot weather in the summer as we do in Greece, any oil heat problems generally?

EzequielR · 03-03-2015, 08:24 AM

Looking great brother!!!

I was mistaken, when I went through my receipts it looks like it was an amazon seller I bought it through.

EDIT: Actually I just decided, I'll do the steering wheel trim in matte black dip when I do the grilles. Its the OEM look (I have an M wheel, hope I can do it without screwing up the ///M sticker), I'm only realy doing it to fix up some wear, the only aspect of the interior I don't like is the walnut, walnut is for blasting valves!

You don't like this?

Doing the entire steering wheel PLUS all the trim is too much IMO.

Yeh, I'm with Morton on that. Its too much, I also don't really like 'fake' carbon fiber that much, but I could handle it on the dash trim and door trims.

I would love to do the BMW full carbon trim, but IIRC it's $1800, when I saw that I actually laughed out loud at my desk, causing a colleague or two to turn around. What the fuck were they thinking? lol.

M3 bumper and lip (please forgive winter mode

You guys are right... Maybe when all is done it will be too much.

I think I'll go matte black on everything or leave the wheel as is (it's got just minor imperfections, doesn't really bother me, it's not gross) and do gloss or matte black on top of the wood.

Ive been thinking of just doing the silver strips on the steering wheel along with my trim.. Getting it done this Friday so well play around with the extra pieces to see if it looks too much. If you like it bro keep it.
