Happy to report back on this. Came back to my car on a Sunday from the airport along with my spare key (SA locked my key inside so I could p/u after hours). So I take my luggage out of the cab, pop my truck and what do you knowwww, my old spoiler is sitting in there, and they've installed a brand new unit.
Nothing wrong with my old one too, just needs new 3M adhesive tape, so it'll be for sale in the classifieds soon Last edited by Dylan86; 08-01-2017 at 07:04 PM.. |

Dinan Stage 1 installed on the M240Xi yesterday. Unfortunately I've only been able to drive it in busy traffic, so I have no good runs to see exactly what it can do yet. A few decent pulls getting on the freeway though. Feels like a pretty good difference and a very noticeable increase over stock power. Very smooth through the gears and the power band. Comfort mode has much more ass behind it while still maintaining what its supposed to be used for. Sport and Sport+ really feel like they're going to be quick. Barely had a chance to exceed 1/2 throttle so far, but I'm quite pleased already.

Maybe some of the M2 owners could comment on their installation, is it one or two boxes and how many filters? Is there a filter in the upper box or is it redundant when you install the lower air box? Thanks |

Installed M Performance Grilles
Just did my first mod on my EB M240i. Gloss Black M Performance Grilles. Next mod is Gloss Black Mirror Covers from IND. :-) (Just can't get used to the stock color...)

Today I did alcantara and paddle extenders
Today I wrapped my interior wood trim to an ultra suede (alcantara). I also wrapped the leatherette above the passenger glove box. I used carbon fiber wrap to cover the chrome accents.
I installed replica "M performance" paddle shift extenders that just stick on to the existing paddles. I ordered the wrap suede wrap of Aliexpress ( https://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-...311.0.0.FQ0dRU ) here is how it turned out. |

newbie buying 230I (special order)-tire advice
Newbie and first post to this forum (also own an '07 Miata and '08 Audi S4 with big V8 and MT). Looking to buy my first new BMW, a 230I with manual transmission. Given the scarcity on dealer lots I'm ordering direct : seaside blue, cognac leather, convenience package, heated seats, HK audio upgrade, pure line wood trim but my question is about tires.
Because I have a couple of other fun cars (occasionally track the Miata) this will just be a sporty daily driver. I'm perfectly fine with the 17" wheels but they come with run flats only. How much of a downside are they? is it worth the $600 upgrade to go with 18s with non RF tires? Appreciate any feedback and thanks in advance for welcoming me to the forum. |

Made my own "M Performance Intake" with a 3/4'' step bit/unbit like in this thread.
http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1074563 Just got out of the garage and I'm excited to take the car for a drive.

The carbon wrap I used was not the best. I would using real 3m 1080 carbon fiber wrap if you want it to have a 3d texture to it, but here is the link to the one I used.

The bi-colored 624's are the best option from BMW IMHO.
