finally got around to installing the MP exhaust that has been sitting in my apt for the past 1.5 years. sounds good, it is actually louder than i expected which is nice.

[DrivingPassion]

Replaced the left tail light cluster for my M235i.
The entire unit is mounted with 2 metal screws and one plastic knob into socket thingy.
Apparently the plastic knob was broken and the whole unit sags and allowed dust/pollen/rain to enter.
Now, with the new one, it's nice and tight.

Cost me around $240.

Clay bar and wax treatment. Took it for a nice Sunday drive afterwards!

With that being said, there is video evidence that stock vs stock there is little difference between the 2 cars and also there is evidence that our car may even be faster on the top end than an M2.

So.......

I got an "M" t-shirt for free and feel like a douche wearing it considering neither of my BMW's are actual "M" cars, despite tons of M-Performance parts.

I'm generally a fan of the newer BmWs too. The 3 is a little big for me but very nice looking. The 8 series is breathtaking.

It's a bit underwhelming. Fake vents and the sorts.. Aside from that it's not a bad car, imo. I'd be the one re-badging a black one into to a BMW Coupe lol

Well my motivation would be exactly that. I've always toyed with the idea of a Z Coupe, and I could get a new one with warranty albeit wearing a Japanese badge. That said I need fewer cars not more of them, especially impractical cars.

Thanks! Wheel from Tischer (getbmwparts), carbon trim from Sun Motor Cars BMW (ebay store), rear split spoke trim from ECS Tuning, and paddles from a very good bimmerpost forum member (paddles only, had to transfer the electronics).

I got a $500 rebate check from BMWCCA after purchasing our 2019 M240i. There's a page on their website that lists the benefits.

That's a well known benefit - and candidly why many folks join the club. Free $ is always good!

I finally pulled the trigger on new wheels and tires! I ended up going with Apex EC-7's F: 18x8.5 ET45, R: 18x9.5 ET 58 and Michelin PS4S Tires F: 225/35/18 R: 255/35/18. Here's a glamour shot!

Everything fits just fine? No spacers in the rear?

Nope. No spacers at all! I was thinking of adding some to push the wheels out more for esthetics, but not sure.

Bought out my lease, also sold them my E70, then got a speeding ticket a mile from the dealer!
