Wheels are nice, not so sure about the world rally blue grills and accents or the Dinan on the front windshield. Go with OEM glass. The after-market safelite glass may have some type of film that could stop radar or some type of toll collecting device from working.

love the all black, and it makes me more into putting the damned front plate on. Looks right on, didn't even notice it at first.

Thanks, I think highly of your input, keeping the grill and accents however new glass means no banner. That is unless my SA starts giving them to other clients (think he likes me cause I spend a lot of money, LOL). Any cool idea's for valve/engine cover?

Thanks, I put a black license plate holder around it to blend it a bit more in and of course it being a custom plate helps.

Wow, I like that!

Funny thing is, my dad did something similar way back in the '50's. He had a real nifty sports car that he, believe it or not, built. Well, he just couldn't bring himself to mount a big, nasty looking license plate into or onto the front grill. Solution? He got out a pair of metal shears and trimmed off all of the license plate metal, leaving only the numbers. It looked European after that.

Hello everyone,

Your input has been helpful and much appreciated. What do you think of putting "GTS" insignia behind the Dinan badge on rear truck lid [DINAN GTS]? Can't find any guidance, etc., regarding Grand-Touring-Sport (GTS) designation. Would this be plane ol' stupid/bad-form or breaking some sort of taboo? Thanks!

DO they fit?

OK -- After doing some searching -- they do fit without any mod and they can be ordered for $130.00 for the pair at ECS Tuning. I really like the look -- silver rings with double black slats and the M re-centered.

51138064144 is one of the OEM part # - for ref.

Did my first coding yesterday. Just some minor stuff to start with. Coded Enhanced Bluetooth, removed legal disclaimer from iDrive, coded digital speedo.

Where is the digital speedo readout located? Can you provide a pic for us? Thanks

Washed off all the road salt. Probably just in time for some freezing rain.

SteveInfante · 12-24-2016, 06:52 PM

Took a sweet pic of my car. 67 degrees today in SC. Merry Christmas everyone.

Indirectly related, but I renewed my BMW CCA membership. Hopefully I can participate in more club events this year.

BentZero · 12-28-2016, 02:45 PM

Installed an AFE intake air scoop. Seems to be good for about a 5°-10° drop in intake air temps around town. Haven't tried it on the highway yet.

MichalM240i · 12-29-2016, 11:35 AM

Finally fitted front plates properly! Felt in love with my car again.

savethemanuals · 12-30-2016, 01:58 PM

Finally got winter tires on style 328 rims

Blizzaks were sold out till next season, so I got Michelin X-Ice instead

Marmugmotleocay · 12-30-2016, 04:25 PM

I installed the Dinantronics Sport. Thanks to Dinan for the info on the app. Very fast reply.
