Ouch!... There's a thread with the method, easy peasy... 91% alcohol works very well. Take the visor off, it takes a few minutes per side. Took me 20 mins for both sides(approx). Heat gun is too rough, I think it would easily melt the visor.

Replaced stock axle-back exhaust w/ Dinan Free flow. Amazon had them on sale for less than half of the going price, and prime. Sounds great.

installed winters...
And I'm having second thoughts. Feels rough on dry pavement. Slight vibration when cornering, almost feels like wheels are out of balance, but they we just installed at the dealership, so I assume they're balanced. Ugh, this will take some getting used to.

Oh awesome! I'm not 100% that amazon isn't having an issue with this item in terms of pricing. It jumped up and down around $400-$600 in the last two weeks. It arrived in a massive dinan box with clamps, zip ties, and printed instructions. To be honest, I had my fingers crossed the whole time from order to receipt, thinking I'd get the dreaded "order cancelled due to price discrepancy" email from amazon.

Guys - on the Dinan exhaust (or MPE for that matter) - make sure you get the right one, I think 47 is for the car without M Perf diffuser and 48 is with the diffuser.

MPE there are some mods that can be done but DINAN w/ tips attached less ability to mess with it.

Snarky title: I hid my CD player slot.
What I really did: This might be one of the duller "what did you do to your 2 series today" posts, but after 4 years of horrible phone mounts, I'm really pleased with this solution. It's a longer than normal "bar" magnetic mount. It's really wide: 7", 1.1" tall. And it turns out that 1.1" is *exactly* the size to fit over the CD slot without hitting any buttons or display above or below. With the phone unmounted, other than the CD slot it doesn't obscure anything. With the phone mounted, it obscures the radio stations buttons (which I no longer use anyway - I've become a spotify/podcast person exclusively). The phone is *really* strongly attached - it doesn't budge at all, even going around corners at a ridiculous rate (which would sometimes cause my phone attached using a vent mount to flop around, and even occasionally go flyting). Here's a movie showing my putting it on & pulling it off: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8l0mtmdwytafb9j/mag-mount.mov |

I found some 17" Sparco wheels with Conti snow tires that fit over the M-sport calipers. I think they look pretty sharp on the black car. With xdrive, I wasn't really worried about the snow but more concerned with a snow covered pothole taking out a 3rd wheel in less than a year.

Wrapped the silver trim in all 3M DI-noc carbon fiber. Very happy with how it came out. Material is great quality and beats spending $800 or more on actual carbon fiber pieces.

Installed my newly arrived Beyern Antler Silver w/ Mirror Cut Face wheels.
And can't also wait to use my newly bought Greenworks GPW1703 Pressure Washer I found a good review at https://gardeningfacts.org/best-pres...washer-review/ to wash my car.

That looks great! I wrapped the trim in my old e46's and it is the cheapest way to transform an interior. I would love to do that with mine, but not sure how it would look with the red interior...

You can source a set of the gloss black trim for around $200 if memory serves, it was standard on 228/230 but never offered on 235/240. I did that with my red interior and it looks great.
