The net is a BMW OEM part it’s not model specific. I got it from Sun think it was like $20.

Awesome, I'll be checking into both of those! Appreciate the info.

Busy morning for me today: M performance Front Lip and M performance Alcantara Steering wheel (both fairly easy installs)

MrShowOff · 10-18-2018, 11:48 AM

Adding the Dinan Mid-pipe and the newly released Cold Air Intake. Should I keep the OEM parts?

Yes because you'll get next to nothing for them and if/when you sell the car you can return to stock and get good money for your upgraded gear.

Cool...thanks for the info.

Had the Dinan Carbon Finer Intake installed this week. Noticeable, but not a big difference, as I had assumed. She sure does look pretty under the hood though.

VPB74 · 10-20-2018, 04:15 PM

Resonator delete. Swapped out the stock pipe with resonators for the Dinan pipe. I have a MPE exhaust so my muffler guy had to modify the end of the Dinan pipe to fit into the MPE, but he's a fantastic fabricator so it was a simple job for him. Sounds great, but still not too loud (I was actually hoping it would be even louder). No drone on the highway.

Replaced my factory speakers. Had a little trouble removing the T25 behind the interior door, but I ended up popping off the door panel and slightly pulling out on the door panel outward while unscrewing and it came out. The other door didn't go as well. I was losing daylight and must have been rushing and pulled too hard. Some little piece went flying. I thought I found it but the back of it or another piece might have fallen inside the door, as now that T25 screw won't tighten.

If anyone else has the same thing happen it looks like the part needed is 07147265039 - Expanding nut (retails for around $1.53).

Yeah mate - I had the same problem when I replaced my door speakers! I had to replace a few of the weird nuts that you mention.

Did the muffler flap mod and went for a drive to get some gas. Gas prices are Sky high!

DaleHeinz · 10-23-2018, 09:20 PM

Tucked away after a fresh buff and wax job. A few rock chips over 44K miles, but damn she still looks as good as the day a brought her home.

They certainly are; the other day I paid a hair under $2 for a litre, which is around $7.50 for a US gallon - what are you paying?
