M235i Mod Tracking Thread

OP - do you have any shots along the side that shows the front to back wheel flush after spacers? I have an idea of the rears, but not the fronts. Looking for a full shot from front or rear that shows how they sit.

Looks great! Love the links to sources for purchase as well, really helping me put together a shopping list

Do you notice any glare at night from oncoming traffic? My installer who is an authorized 3m tinter, and tinted the rest of my windows with 3m crystalline, HEAVILY advises against tinting the windshield with this product. He states that the headlights from oncoming traffic cause a "halo" effect.

What are your thoughts?

Nope. Honestly I forget it's there. That being said I only have the 70 not the 40. Maybe it's worse with the darker film?

Nice list, you're not doing anything this is all done by a shop?

About half and half. Anything engine wise that was heavier is being done at a shop and most of the cosmetics, interior and lighter engine mods I'm doing myself.

Where in the rpm range and gear or gears is the power/torque increase felt after the intercooler and chargepipe install?

Honestly I did them such a long time ago that I'm not really sure :-/ sorry.

I like a lot of your mods, especially the coding. How much does he charge for the setup and is it difficult/troublesome to have him do it remotely?
Also, were you able to have him code in the highbeam assist?
Thanks!

Thanks! I don't want to give prices in case things have changed. But I know it was one price for the lifetime of the car. So you can make changes or add things if needed. Its very easy remotely. And no unfortunately the US cars don't have the equipment needed for the highbeam assist.

Wow! I loved the description, the before and after, the whole thing was just amazing. Any suggestion around JB4 or AC Schnitzer? (other than price difference)

Thanks!
