I`m not sure, but I could pass you a contact and I`m sure he will make you a great offer.

Can you post some more pictures of your side splitter blades?

it really was a pita!

Did you get a pic / DIY of how to stop the fake engine sounds? I'm looking to upgrade the cruddy stock speakers and would like to kill that sound piping as well. I prefer the true sound of the engine / exhaust

And I have to say - that is one sexy beast! I wish we could ride that low in the US, but our highways are not the autobahn. After living in Germany for four years, it is one of many things I miss!

I just put my new rear muffler on, a lightweight titanium exhaust system.
holy cow, never thought a muffler could do this well on our cars.
I`ll put some videos on here asap.

But for those who can`t wait, I just posted a small video on instagram (@anoooooh).
there you can get an idea of how loud that exhaust is!

And I got a new goodie from manhart, which I`ll install this weekend, plus a larger intercooler.

JakePoole · 10-28-2014, 07:55 AM

I agree with everyone - this car is absolutely beautiful! Are the shifter paddles OEM parts or aftermarket?

Enjoy your car and keep posting pics!

So here are the small videos:

First start after mounting the new exhaust system:
I was pretty surprised as you may hear btw

Next wednesday I`ll visit lightweight performance and get some new titanium tips, since I don`t like the satin black tips which are installed.

AnooooOH · 11-02-2014, 04:35 AM

Since I get so many pn`s asking about the paddles, I´ll post what can be done on here.

So you have the following options:

m3/m4 paddles
m5/m6 paddles

Both look exactly the same! Here is a picture:

But technically there is a difference.
While the m3/m4 paddles fit plug and play on our cars, you need to do a small modification on the m5/m6 paddles. If you do not do this modification to your m5/m6 paddles, the right paddle will not work and the left paddle will change gears up not down.

So why should you still get m5/m6 paddles instead of m3/m4 paddles?

The modification takes less than 5 minutes and you can get m5/m6 paddles more easily and cheaper on ebay.

Both sets are very expensive when you get them new at your bmw dealer.

So what do you need to do to make m5/m6 paddles paddles work properly?

I found a picture on the internet which shows all summed up together:

You need to switch the inner part out of the housing and put the electronics
from your stock paddles into the housing of your m5/m6 paddles.
You can do this easily with a small screwdriver by pushing them to the thicker side and make them pop out.

That`s all.

As for the installation of the paddles you need to get your airbag out.
there are a lot of diy instructions for the steering wheel removal on the internet. so this shouldn`t be a problem.

Of course you could get the whole steering wheel out but I just removed the airbag and switched the the paddles.

AnooooOH · 11-08-2014, 11:41 AM

For all non-instagrammers here is a small video of the new titanium exhaust:

And some pics

AnooooOH · 12-01-2014, 02:24 AM

Here is a small video of the awron data gauge I took yesterday:

Spieltag · 12-01-2014, 02:33 AM

1" inch drop right? What are the wheel specs. I'm a huge fan on black with polished lip.

I`m not sure about the drop!

Wheels are 8x18 ET 40. I didn`t want them wider for winter.

You can get a 9x18 ET 40 too.
Same sizes in 19".

The polished lips are actual rings, which you can stick on.
When you curb a wheel, you can get another ring and change them easily while the tires are mounted.

looks really nice

kd0t · 12-01-2014, 02:03 PM

Where did you get that bar in the front lower bumper? Where the fog lights are with other cars?
