I installed new Autotecknic M inspired carbon fiber mirror caps on Friday.
The fitment is perfect. It literally took a minute each (I do have prior experience from installing led turn signals a while back). I wasn't sure on the tear dropped shape at first, but it's growing on me. Let me know what you guys think?

Installed the Rennline BMW fire extinguisher mount a few days ago - fit perfectly. They don't have the F2x listed as compatible, I bought one for my F31 previously, but it does fit very nicely at least on my F23.

Got the highest city MPG so far in my M240i ownership thanks to quite a few green lights in a row on the way to work! It was 29.0 just before I snapped the photo at a stoplight but I missed the moment and had to park.

Ooooh, you're gonna be happy with the results. Way to be proactive on the charge pipe too. The stock ones will eventually crack or pop off under the extra pressure.

I think it was BEM-S4 that mentioned how tricky it was to get a FMIC installed on the F23, and the local bmw performance shop is aware of it as well. |

Decided to install M perf tips after installing M perf diffuser. So far managed to cut one pipe off to add the extender and the tip. The exhaust cutters I rented (2 actually) were pretty dull so took me about 2 hours to cut a pipe - I was very determined. Waiting to get a new cutter, so, as of now, I'm driving with a single m perf exhaust tip poking out.

I wouldn’t install that until you read the last point and find out what “vehile” and “trama” are!

The trunk liner I would recommend 100%.
As for the mats, I didn't get them on my 2er but had them on my MK7 GTI. Great fit, but the colour of the plastic fades rather quickly, cheapening the overall look. I need to find an alternative solution before winter. I like the TuxMats, a local company here in Toronto, however they're not making any more mats for the M240i with xDrive.

Replaced it with its big brother
Still like how M235 handles but M8 is on a different level! Less engaging possibly, but by no means less fun! Which is weird how can a car be less engaging and more fun! Trickery?

Big, powerful GT cars walk the dog – that's always been the case, and there's nothing than can change it. Those of us who treasure them have never lost sight of this fact. Well done! –––––––––––––––––––––––––––– And, hey, I'll go on from there, 'cause I've been there and done that with the original Euro-spec M6 back in the day. I know what it's like to lock into something this special. In the mid-'70s, I was working in Amarillo, Texas. I'm originally from Denver and most of my family was up in Boulder at that time. I was able to roll out of work at 4 PM Friday and roll into Boulder at 10 PM in my Series 3 Jaguar XKE. I would spend the week-end having a good time in Boulder and then roll back down to Amarillo Sunday afternoon. I regret nothing about owning that car; but, please, don't ask me about the downsides of owning a high-end motor vehicle when your'e at the mercy of dealers' service departments (nice as the people working there can be, and they always are and have been! ).

Wash. Wax. Hug. Then finally finalized my very small list of things I want to do to it in order:
1. 328i M Performance exhaust to strap to the back 2. Audio system upgrade! (Seeking recommendations - the base system is markedly worse than my Corolla iM, if that tells you anything) 3. Find a set of the OEM wheels in black and black kidney grills. 4. Detail and ceramic coat. Frankly, I'm not really one for modifying the car (beyond making more noise). While it was too dark for freshly waxed pictures. Here's a pic from my last joyride. Dirty car but talk about a perfect summer sky!

Yes, well, I don't think you're going to get a lot of disagreement there!
I was born in Denver and have spent a good deal of the last six decades of my life in and around the Front Range, so good luck there.
