Because the headlights shine too brightly on the road at night? I also have Xpel for protection, but clear, no tint. Can't imagine why would you want less light?

Autotecknic stealth black paddle shifters

CP911 · 02-24-2018, 10:22 PM

Failed to remove my stock shifter knob.

Got the whole M Performance interior kit installed today, including the stainless pedals.

What do I need to do to get this shifter knob off??!

Also ordered BBS CH-R wheels (19" in silver). Woohoo! Can't wait to get these mounted!

Brightness output and colour temperature are not the same thing.

ah ok. probably need to rethink then.
thanks.

BEM-S4 · 02-25-2018, 11:15 AM

Paddle shifter pics - really like the look versus stock much more tactical and aggressive. But still a bit subdued in the black. Great feel too. Install wasn't bad either, perhaps 10 minutes. Most of that was moving very carefully around battery and airbag because I was afraid of it. Purchased from these guys, great price and great customer service. www.creativemotoring.com, they're an AD.

Oh sorry, I didn't complete my post. I didn't mean that to be snarky. Colour temperature and brightness are independent but the bulbs you bought could be brighter overall as well as a different colour!

Sorry.

They look great. Are they the AutoTecknic Dry CF Competition shifters? SKU?

Thanks

Edit: Never mind, I think I found them!

Not CF no. Just the competition shift paddles in stealth black (flat black). You specify F22 or whatever your car is when ordering. I think CF is like $100 more perhaps.

4seriesNL · 02-26-2018, 10:40 AM

Added some Vinyl, Black Grills and a CF Spoiler today[IMG][/IMG]

not sure how this comes out.
but doesn't look darker than before to me.

ham_hock_ · 02-26-2018, 10:05 PM

Apparently the "dry carbon" version doesn't match the interior carbon on M235/M2—bummer.

I'm thinking of going gloss red to match the start button. Though, I'd like to do the M-Performance alcantara/leather wheel that comes with a blue stripes—maybe too much color? Or...IND does the custom red stripe for like double the price...!

I obsessed over all the same options and went with less is more - stealth black. Integrates very nicely with al the electronics on the wheel same finish.

I don't know about other colors that would be gloss but the flat finish has a very nice feel to it.

Marmugmotleocay · 02-27-2018, 05:45 AM

I ordered the M Performance side blades. I will probably get them painted BSM.

ham_hock_ · 02-27-2018, 07:22 AM

Did you consider gloss black to match the stereo face?
So many different colors and materials, it feels like one small thing could throw everything off!

I did but wanted to match what was closest - the finish on the wheel. My trim is all gloss black too, so additionally for the wheel I did not want more reflective surfaces.

Installed painted spoiler over the weekend.
