Ha! Do you know where the car came from before you bought it, or was it just filled with a warm weather fluid from this past summer? (Personally, I just use the same fluid year-round, even if I don't need the glycol in the summer. Just easier that way.)

Headlights and Tail lights upgraded to LED. Headlights I got from BayOptiks. Tail lights are euro spec black line LCI. Bought them from original-autoparts

I think it was a warm weather car (FL or AZ). The mechanic who inspected it before final sale said it’d never seen road salt since it was pristine underneath. So I grew up in cold weather and can’t remember a time I had wiper fluid freeze before, and ive never purchased the cold-weather specific fluid so this was a surprise to me. The cold formula seems to be working though!

The color match is on point. Where'd you get the material? I'd like to wrap my rear reflectors.

Upgraded my 2016's idrive to a touchscreen with ID6/CarPlay. Super simple swap thanks to Steve@Codemybimmer. Wish I’d done this earlier.
But maybe I shouldn't have gone with the touchscreen – tons of fingerprints already Last edited by christine1; 01-25-2022 at 06:41 PM.. |

If you don't mind sharing, what's the cost of such an upgrade?

It wasn’t cheap, but worth the upgrade for me. I feel like it modernizes my car and makes me want to keep it for much longer. I went a way cheaper route at first and eventually decided it was worth the cost to go "OEM". Hit up Steve here on the forums (steve@codemybimmer) or https://www.codemybimmer.ca/ and I’m sure he can help you out

Finished out (hopefully) on what will be the last internal upgrade on the M240i- rear deck speakers changed out to Focal IC 100s and replaced the Hi-Fi amp to the MATCH UP 7BMW.
I wouldn't consider myself an audiophile, but my ears have experienced a whole new world in audio universe today and I will never ever be able to go back. It's amazing how an amp upgrade brings out the potential of the speakers. I thought the mid-range was amazing when I upgraded just the door(s) and center speaker + stock amp...adding the new amp and rear deck speakers was the chef's kiss. Also installed the TechnicPNP ASD bypass harness- I should've done this 4 years ago. It's amazing how cutting out the artificial exhaust noise enables the music to fill the cabin and changing driving modes won't raise the volume. Not sure if coding achieves the same results, but a must-do for those that value music sound over exhaust sound (inside). |

I can't seem to pinpoint one buzz that seems to have disappeared with the colder temps. If I had to guess it was coming from either the rear view mirror or the passenger side dashboard. Would need a passenger with a good ear to trace. Edit: I've also done the drop ins w/ added sail speakers and not had any unwanted noises. The only thing I could see being a problem is rivets or clips on your door card. Hope to add an amp one day, maybe after an LSD. Last edited by freakystyly; 01-27-2022 at 11:40 AM.. |

Threw a Dinan intake on the 240. A really simple job with very interesting results..
Sound improvement? Nothing I can tell Power improvement? Absolutely.. no doubt.. I can say Nah.. nothing I can feel Looks? Oh yea.. definitely a ++ on the bling scale |

While I'll enjoy the unit's looks when I hook-up and disconnect the trickle charger, it's the "+ 15 HP @ 6000 RPM & + 13 lb-ft @ 6000 RPM (+ 13 WHP & + 11 WTQ) without additional modifications" that most attracted me to the unit. I wouldn't have bought it without performance improvements along those lines. I need giddy-up to go with those good looks!

The additional performance possibility did play into my decision, but finding it on sale was what truly pushed me over the edge. I've gone MHD Stg II, AA catted downpipe, and added XHP so the 240 runs damn good. The M-performance LSD makes a huge difference as well. The intake truly should blend well with these mods and offer a tinge more all-around performance.

Did you get the 3 pedals (rest, brake and accel) or just the last 2?
