Added the Bimmer Network heat shield the other day!
Can't really see it once the air box and OCC are reinstalled

No, the stock wheels with 225s are 7.5". You need at least 8" wheels to fit 245s.

I used the recommendation from here:

2016 M235i 6MT

I debated about the color but went with race silver for a classic BMW look.

[AM20 BMW]

Suntek CXP 55% tints installed for my front two windows.

[AM20 BMW]

Suntek CXP 70% windshield tint with 5% tint sun strip.

[Dantesboyz]

Installed a replacement Msport front spitter and rear diffuser.

[kz1000]

Oil change and front brake pads @ 41K. How exciting. At least my brake discs are lasting more than 1 pad change.

[AM20 BMW]

Had the whole taillights PPF’d with Innovative PPS reverse light overlay tint installed underneath the PPF and again Innvoative PPS PPF applied on the climate control glossy surround trim.

Installed lips and fins in CF

Had the tenth annual oil change today and learned that the motor mounts and thrust arm bushings have reached the ends of their lives. Considering taking the opportunity to install M2 thrust arms to go along with the M2 LCAs already onboard.

Spent the weekend fixing and spraying my splitter that broke into 3 pieces, bottom bit was black, now alpine white to match the car!😁

Ordered my M2 thrust arms with urethane bushings to fit directly on my 228i to go along with my older M2 LCAs. Source is Bimmerworld who sells the package with or without the LCAs. Great local dealer will take in these parts to do the installation.

Looks great, keeping close to the original BMM M Performance colour scheme of part painted.

Where did you buy the full kit. Front rear and side skirts, as looking to buy one this week for my F23 and concerned on quality and fit. OEM just too much really.
Thanks in advance.

Honestly, eBay!😂 you can pay a fortune, but you’ll still get stone chips, scrapes and dents, especially on the front splitter!

Only thing I’d do differently is spray some top coat on the original splitter/wing mirror caps to give them some more protection, but they were cheap enough that it’s not the end of the world!

[Hapbob]

Just a simple oil change that wasn’t simple. That oil filter cap is a bi_-tck to get off and on.
Got it done. I won’t do it again. Off to dealer next time.

What was the fit like. Seen what looks like very good copies on EBay. Just concerned over the fit.
I also intend to paint them.

[Ajowhan]

Replaced my worn noisy shock and dinan spring with coil..

Trying out -1.5 camber on the front and now Im ready to up to 245 from the current 225 and considering square setup

[freakystyly]

Finally warm enough and a long weekend to put in the Konis. The first corner's in. Going to tackle the other 3 corners tomorrow... before the beer supply runs low.

No shortage of rust here.

Edit: 3 done, last one is halfway there. Doing fronts without using a spring compressor slows things down but it works.

Edit 2: Finished, going for test drive. PS: use an extension when fastening the top mount screw closest to the positive terminal or you'll get sparks.

basic procedure:

• wiper blades to service (straight up)
• pop plastic cap and remove nut from each wiper blade
• mark blade position on spline (I drew a line across with sharpie)
• pull wiper blades off spline
• pop plastic rivet near each end of part
• unlock the plastic cams (half turn ccw with allen key, forget the size)
• remove old part
• replacement is inverse

really nothing difficult with basic tools. no adhesives involved.

part I used was from ECS Tuning https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...d/51717240672/
