Well, I thought they were OEM, until I had the little M sticker below the BMW hub cap fall off lol. Not sure of the brand, but I believe they are 163/CSL style rims. They're 18's.

Installed the Active Autowerke high flow cat. Cold start is noticeably louder - cruising is not really any difference in noise.

Would love to hear more about this. No videos yet of sound. I have both the downpipe and muffler waiting to go on after winter.

Do you run a flash or piggy with it? How's the throttle difference?

WolfGTI · 01-22-2020, 05:18 PM

When it's a touch warmer I'll get a video. I have the AWE exhaust with Dinan midpipe.

I have had the Dinan Stage 1 v1 elite for 3 years now. Car builds boost faster for sure.

After much swearing, chuffed with the final result.

Swapped the yellow LEDs with white ones in the instrument cluster.

Just installed new black crystal reflectors on my M235i. One of the best mods in my opinion.

Well today I sold my 228i. Great car and learned a lot on this forum.

I will still be around since I have a few stuff for sale and might be getting in a 335, 435, M3 or M4 .....

That's awesome. Do you have a link to the diodes/bulbs you used?

Edit: NVM just saw your post in the thread!

ferraricare · 01-22-2020, 11:58 PM

I'd love to hear some details on this upgrade.

bstone995 · 01-23-2020, 01:58 AM

Just installed:

- Match UP7BMW Amp
- Audison Front Separates
- Audison Rear Coax
- Eton Center channel
- Match Subwoofers

I went from the Hifi system to this and the sound quality is unbelievable.

About halfway finished with custom hand stitched contrast stitching. Takes FOREVER but is going to be SO worth it when I finish and get red seat belts.

mikeysosa · 01-23-2020, 09:50 PM

Also, on a side note, I installed a new carbon fiber PSM spoiler yesterday.

Here you go.

j2dad5389 · 01-24-2020, 09:24 AM

Installed black kidney grill + IND paint reflectors to match. Just waiting on my carbon fiber diffuser then I'm done with aesthetic mods. Next up will be performance.

just fitted LCI taillights

mb67 · 01-25-2020, 04:30 PM

I just wiped my car off with the wrap detail cleaner for the first time in a long time.
Even though I wipe the car off every night after work, (we get a lot of condensation/dew build up along the coastline) it was eye opening to see how much of a film had built up over the past month or so.

NOTE

This picture is old but it represents the same situation that I saw today.
