I finally got around to fitting the m235i exhaust that I purchased from another forum member, along with the M Performance diffuser and some new tips, on my 228i. I definitely prefer the look and sound to stock. Now I’m just debating if I have the tips out a bit far. What do you think?

The mid pipe and muffler lined up fine. But the distance from the outside of each hanger on the 235 muffler was about 1/2 to 3/4 inch less than on the 228 muffler. So we needed to weld a short rod onto the brackets to get everything to line up right. I went out and got under the car to take a couple of pictures. They’re not the best, but might give you a better idea of what I’m talking about.

they turned on the sprinklers at the coffee shop, blurching out horrible water that will surely kill the grass and certainly put water spots on my car so i gave it a quick wash when i got home. nearly died of heat stroke.

M Performance Carbon Fiber Spoiler!
Installed the M Performance carbon spoiler this morning. Man, getting the glue off from the OEM spoiler was a pain -- I have the blisters to prove it. Thank god for 3M adhesive remover.

Looks great...CF works so well with the "colder" colors, such as your Estoril I installed the same piece on mine but did bodycolor. On behalf of the guy behind you at 100kph, hope you also used urethane for the installation instead of relying on the less reliable tape!

Mine has been on for 2 years strong. Only issues is the very ends come up a tiny bit, but that’s kind of expected as the trunk is slightly curved and a straight CF spoiler doesn’t like to bend to easily after curing.

With some advice from rayscott and chemical guys busted out the new orbital polisher. Clay, V38 polish w blue pad, wet glaze with black pad. Tomorrow sealer then butter wax both with red pad. Looking pretty good so far.
