If your tyres were black due brake dust is this not good. What colour are the tyres now you have cleaned the dust off
Paint your rims black saves looking at brake dust

I just took delivery of my 2er today. So I drove it for the first time! Break in period now so keeping the revs no higher than somewhere around the 4000k mark.

Love it!

Bimmian grille stripe snap on although they didn't stay snapped on as intended. Kept falling off upon testing. Added 3m tape and it's good to go

Drove in sport mode. It's like a different car. I've only been on the road before with it. Today I did a 3 point turn. Didn't realize it changed the steering feel. Cool.

Yesterday -- drove back from Bend via OR-97/197.

Today -- chatted with the dealership, and received confirmation that they had mistakenly titled/registered the car in the wrong state.

Dinan cold air intake

Dinantronics plug & play tune.

This car just rips now. Love it couldn't stop smiling. The intake along with the MPE make such a nice sound on high RPMs

Mounted the dashcam, ran the wiring to the trunk via A-pillar to C-pillar then to the back of the seat into the trunk. Didn't hardwire by using an add-a-fuse yet as I didn't have enough time today. Will plug it right in maybe on Friday.

DIYed chrome/stealth turn signals. I hate DIYs and have zero affinity for anything mechanical. I resolve to never do another DIY ever again save for stupidly basic things. They seem a bit brighter than OEM, strangely...maybe I screwed something up LOL

I got my BMW license plate frames installed. Now I'm waiting for my BMW tire valve covers. Both DIY projects. How exciting.

Yup, on Friday I hooked up the dash cam via add-a-circuit mini fuse in the trunk. Easy as pie to plug it in there and leave it. Running the wires was really the harder part but rather easy actually. Could safely say entire process was about 45 minutes.
