I like that. Subtle but yet noticeable.

How do you get the bars behind the front grilles? I assume take the bumper off?

I just wrapped them myself while both grilles were out, so it's not the best wrap job ever

Did the actual installation of the M Performance front splitter today and also stuck the extensions on my M Performance exhaust so the tips would stick out past the carbon fiber diffuser I have now.

Booked my brand new (only driven 80kms)M235i into the panel beaters today after my wife selected first instead of reverse trying to back the car out of garage.
She called me up to tell me and started crying.By the time I got home later that day I had lost my voice from a cold I had just picked up and couldn't do any yelling or screaming!
The big man upstairs must have thought I didn't need my voice today as he was doing me a favour to save my marriage!! Haha

Hi, did you just buy a black antenna cover or was this wrapped too?

H&R super sport springs and AG M359 reps.

Hopefully I will get around to installing the carbon exterior bits as well soon.

Does this not mess with the adaptive suspension? Looks sick though man. I love it.

I ordered a lot of parts for my 228. Dinan free-flow exhaust, dinan performance springs & supplementary kit, dinan shockware, ER catted downpipe.

Getting the car tuned at CB Tuning once everything is installed. I'm also considering some cosmetic stuff such as the carbon fiber spoiler and the gloss black grilles.

I am ready.

The springs don't replace the factory struts which is what the adaptive suspension controls. These may shorten the life of the struts, but I've run lowering springs on factory struts on many vehicles, including my previous E90 M3 that had 95k miles with no issues.

Otherwise, the ride is similar to OEM in comfort and feels perfect in sport, which is exactly what I wanted

M style mirror covers. Why does it look like a shit cropped pic, cause the site says the damn file is too big. And iPhoto on iPad doesn't make it smaller. Rawr

Tracked the cruise itinerary of which my 2er is parked on right now. Currently at port Gothenburg, Sweden on board MIGNON. Yup... just a little obsessiveness going on here.

Upload the pic on a site like Flickr. You can then paste the code into a forum post and change the size to your liking.

Technically I did this all last night, but I dived head first into the world of coding and made a ton of changes that added both functionality, like the "tow hitch-straight down zoom view" on rear camera and adding the Digital MPH readout as well as new convenience features like closing the windows and moonroof with the FOB and removing all the disclaimer nag screens. All in all I think I made over 2 dozen custom changes to fit my preferences.

I'm very happy with the results and feel that the iDrive system now truly augments my driving experience.
