Couple of quick questions - for OP or anyone.

The stainless steel petals. The kickplate on the far left did your car come with the stainless steel and you only have the pedals done? In various photos including the configurator it looked as though the 235 came with the metal kickplate but with normal pedals. I understand you had them installed at port, but how do they get installed? Is it something a newbie can do? Is it industrial grade adhesive or does it require drilling or is it snap over?

Lastly, on the mats, it looks like the red is a perfect match for the red interior… I have red exterior with oyster/oyster except with the black anthracite headliner. Now that I am looking at your great pictures I'm thinking instead of getting the black/red mat I just need to get all-black. I was thinking the red trim on the mat was going to be for red interior match but also for red exterior… If it's not complementary to the red exterior I just need to get all-black… Any thoughts, anyone? Has anyone seen these in person against the Melbourne red exterior?

Thank you.
Hey there,

Regarding the kick plate, that should come standard in stainless. Same as it did in my 135i.

The pedals I believe are drilled. I had them installed at port so I did not install myself but I don't anticipate it being very difficult to do. Best thing to do would be research around for a diy or maybe ask a local dealership what installation entails.

For the mayst they are a match for the interior but for some reason they just never seem to look like they match. May just be having to get used to having something other than just black down there but not sure. I think you'd be fine with the red exterior because even if they aren't the same red you won't be seeing them side to side and with black interior or whatever you got the red would look great IMO.

Good luck and let me know if you have anything else j can answer for you.

Tint made a huge difference in the Florida sun. Like massive!

Just saw about the jb4 actually. But that's on hold now. Saving up for the exhaust first.

Would you mind documenting the install of the JB4 with EWG harness and downpipe since in about two weeks I will be doing a full bolt on install on my 2 series!

Thanks!

Ill be having the instal done for me at a shop but ill keep an eye out and take pictures as best I can. I am pretty sure burger has guides though online. As far as the down pipe from what I understand its pretty straightforward, replacing a piece of pipe in essence but Ill do my best to document it and post it up here.

Yes there are instructions on Burger's site but quite sketchy and incomplete, it would be great if you can document it...


Also how are the spacers? No rubbing at 15mm rear at all?

Ill do my best, and none at all. Rides pretty much like stock to be honest. Im more worried when I'm in a situation where the nose is a bit low but no issues in terms of rubbing or bottoming out or anything. And to be honest the nose looks lower but other than those stoppers in parking lots, nothing seems to get in the way. But do keep in mind that those stoppers won't be cleared anymore.

Love the interior carbon pieces and Shankska's MP Exhaust video they are definitely on my shopping list for the future. I reckon the carbon mirror covers I've got on mine would suit your car really well.

Pretty sure I just saw you pulling out of UCF. First 2 I've seen in BSM. Looks real good, but mother of god do you need those front reflector deletes installed.

I'm going with body color. Cheaper and I don't want to do carbon fiber on the exterior.
