could also add the black gloss sportline bumper trim

My car is an m sport (with m badges all over it) I don't think this will fit.
Check on eBay Sun BMW has an authentic black M3 badge for $35. You could just use the M and it will undoubtedly be the best quality solution for you.

I need to measure the height of my stock digits. The one I ordered was actually for an M2 so I assumed would be the right scale. I did resist the urge to use the black "2" so I should at least get points for that. 😉

Call Brian and ask him, you can always return it if he tells you it'll fit and it doesn't. Since it's an OEM part I'd be more optimistic vs who knows what source.

I have Apple Car Play activated, unlocked and working beautifully now. Adding the WiFi antenna makes it so much smoother.

I measured today. The oem digits are 3/4" or 19.5 mm. The badge I ordered was supposed to be 20mm but instead was 27mm. I've reached out to the vendor for a replacement.

Just bought my plane ticket!

This will get me back to BC to pick up my car from storage and drive is cross-country to Ontario.

That's about all I've done to show love to my 2er in the last 6 months

Remus Exhaust for my 235 came today, feeling a bit under the weather but hoping to get it installed later after work.

I did a few things to the M235i recently!!

Performance: Upgraded the turbo to the Pure Stage 2 and GFB diverter valve. Car is now FBO with a custom tune through Cary Jordan/ Maximum PSI and Bootmod3.

The Maximum PSI/ Bimmer Clinic Guys are amazing to work with and we're local to me in NJ. They even provided lunch! Come on... Dynos and sandwiches, how can you go wrong!

I'm really happy with the power considering I'm on a stock fuel system and 93 pump.

Put on some VMR 710's and they really make the car!
setup is:
VMR 710's - stock suspension
Front: 8.5 x19 et 40 with Michelin pilot 4S 235/35 R19
Rear: 9.5x19 et 45 with Michelin pilot 4S 265/30 R19

As a note: I did a ton of research before buying and did see a couple guys running these sizes but kept seeing other posts saying it might rub. there was no rub at Speed, and i flogged her.. for research sake of course. the amount of extra grip coming from the factory staggered M pss 18's is really amazing!
if i would do it again i would personally do a rear et 50, there is plenty of room and my setup pokes the tire in the rear about 2-3mil.
hope this helps, Cheers!

I installed these today. I really need to start using anti seize on my hubs. The wheels were extremely hard to remove. I only have 5000 miles on my car.

I have them on both of my vehicles. Btw, you don't need to remove your wheels to install or uninstall theses. You can use a thin trim removal tool or a flat blade screw driver with tape on the end to pop them out.

I initially tried it with nylon trim tools with no luck.

Replaced the Front Bumper Reflector Lights with Crystal Smoke instead on the body color ones.

These smoke ones look real nice with the MG and Black. Found them in Amazon for a quarter of the price than the ones from IND
