My first bimmer, 2017 m240i coupe in GS
So I recently got myself a gift in the form of a 2017 m240i coupe with 8 speed auto in glacier silver with oyster interior. Coming from a Hyundai Sonata, the difference was night and day. Ever since I picked it up, I have been reading and researching anything/everything I can regarding this vehicle. Never worked on my own vehicles as my daily driver's have been Altimas, Sonatas, and Civics. When I picked up this little gem, she had only 29xx miles and FULLY loaded. Snagged her for a sweet 34k as an executive demo.
While reading up, I decided to make this car "mine". First thing I did was to tint the windows. I tried to decide what color I would like to accent the silver and was having trouble making a decision at first. I ended up deciding to use CF as my accent. So far I have added CF kidney grills and a CF shark fin. I have a CF M4 style spoiler lip at home waiting to be installed and am waiting for my CF side mirror covers and door handles to arrive. I also added a BMS intake. Here are some photos of it in its current condition. I also added M logo lights under both doors, but don't have any photos of them yet. In addition to the cosmetics, I am waiting on my VRSF catted downpipe to arrive and will be adding a BM3 stage 2 tune and an MP stage 1 trans flash. I will add photos and more info as I have them. Took a couple photos with the door lights. Carbon Fiber spoiler lip pics added. Last edited by Yalerz; 04-06-2019 at 03:36 PM.. Reason: Added photos. |

Added 2 more photos. Also, big shout out to Mike and his team at X-PH. When I placed my order for my VRSF DP, I contacted Mike about a lower price on the catted DP. Within minutes, Mike had updated the website and fixed their pricing. Yesterday, I checked to see the status on my VRSF catted DP and learned that it was on a 6 week backorder. His support staff (or maybe just Mike with a different hat??) were quick and helpful, and I will now be getting a nice ER catted DP instead. Couldn't be happier with the service!!

Where did you get the M lights. I think they look cool. I bought a set then when I got them they weren't the right ones. They were cheap off Amazon so I wasn't worried about it. Haven't come across any that weren't expensive.

Nice pickup! I don't think Alex at MP will sell his TCU tune unless you purchase his ECU tune though. Might need to hold off until xHP releases the B58 flash.

Furthermore, added more pics to first post. Took off the stock spoiler lip and added a CF lip. Did not have a buffer so minor lines in the paint where the adhesive was, but have a buffer and polish coming next week to fix the part that is visible. Removed CF shark fin as I will be getting the roof wrapped tomorrow. Will put shark fin back on after the wrap. On a side note, 3M bonding tape is EXTREMELY strong (damn shark fin lol). |

Awesome looking ride, I've also got a glacier silver 2017 M240i. I've had it for about 6 months now and have loved every day of it. My only suggestion would be front reflector delete, I bought painted silver ones to replace the yellow ones. Great additions though, love the CF spoiler, did you install it yourself?
