Looks great. I love the blue, almost wish I'd gotten it again on mine.

Added M style mirrors, on the fence about them right now. No added wind noise and a good paint match from Ikonmotorsports.

Looks great! Did you modify that diffuser for the dual tips, or did it come that way?

230i comes with the dual tips, so it came that way.

Installed a P3 vent gauge purchased from a fellow forum member.
Includes readouts of boost/vacuum, oil/exhaust/intake temps, 0-60 timer, digital speedometer, digital RPM, and a few more...

Also more than happy to take recommendations on how NOT to have all of my pictures flip when I upload... thanks...

delvec03 · 08-24-2018, 10:26 AM

just did the CDV delete and tensioner replacement.

6MT drives like my rx8 now...save the 9k rpm redline haha

BEM-S4 · 08-24-2018, 10:38 AM

Keyhole cover from IND. Easy install and very pleased with the result.

It was easy the biggest tip I found out after talking with Cat is the set screw will not fall out into the door there's a retaining clip or something. I was afraid I'd drop it inside the door.

Just pull the gasket unscrew and pull the whole assembly out. Super easy.

search the f30 forums for the diy. it's in the slave cylinder and is a little metal orifice. I'd post the link but I'd be search the forums just as you

I wasn't sold on the mod just after I did it, but now that I realize I'm expecting shudders and jerky shifts and they're not there is eye opening

also, I have a 228 not sure if it's different for the 235

Sportstick · 08-31-2018, 06:26 PM

Had the Evolution Racewerks chargepipe and Active Autowerke intercooler installed by my dealer. Mike at Extreme Powerhouse was outstanding to work with and helped with an initial issue with another chargepipe. This one fits perfectly. Thanks, Mike! I only drove the car home from the dealer so no chance to explore for differences yet.

I replaced the stock exhaust and diffuser with the M-sport bits. I kept the matte black finish of the diffuser which complements the finish of the rocker panel blades. I went with the carbon tailpipe finishers. Overall, very happy with the results! Here are some before and after pics...

I found some genuine, 70mm wheel-cap badges and stuck them on the c-pillars.

I think someone here gave me the idea? This is a nod to the great 3.0 CS and CSL of the early 70s. I just discovered they're putting them on the new X2 for some reason.

Nice; I like them! Yes, you're referring to my idea â€“ thanks for the nod. Did you get the 3D or flat self-adhering badges? Are you liking the effect? Would you suggest upsizing or downsizing from 70mm, or does 70mm seem about right? More pics, pls.

Ron Jeffries · 09-04-2018, 06:38 AM

Some folks think those badges on the C pillars are tacky. I rather like them. Since I have a convertible, though, I'm not tempted to do it.
