Door lock actuator, driver side, replacement on '15 m235i ...fun times lol.
Here are a few photos as I didn't see any post of f2x models having this done. Not a terribly involved repair but you must pay attention to detail when doing this.

Past 10 days, I took it on a 2400 mile road trip, to Deals Gap and spent a week there driving all those lovely twisty Smoky Mountain roads, then down to SpartanBurg SC, to attend 1 day M School at the BMW Performance Center. then back to NJ.
The car behaved wonderfully, all the suspension work paid off in the mountains. Next upgrade will be brakes.

Flashed an M2 stage O+ map on my M235i. Very impressed with the extra pull at the top end and willingness of the engine to rev. Driveability is also improved like throttle inputs in all modes. Thoroughly impressed with BM3.
For me, the car is now perfect as a daily driver!! Should have done it much earlier The M2 map pros and cons were discussed here: https://www.2addicts.com/forums/show....php?t=1741254

The SCCA Reno Chapter held the Eastern Sierra Road Rally, part of the non-competitive SCCA Treks program. It was just shy of 100 miles, and the 230i looked great collecting bugs on the front bumper.
The Trek, featuring HWY 89 The 230i looking good in some of the photos And there were some significantly faster machines that showed up, like this 570S w/ authentic GT4 aero

Every once in a while we'd run into an occasional car to pass when it's safe. There were a lot of us, but we spaced ourselves out well ahead of the twisty bits and organically self-organized into packs by how fast we were comfortable going in the straights on the way out there (just don't pass the lead vehicle, right?) Speeds were definitely a bit faster than the pedestrian travellers but I never felt or saw anything unsafe like you sometimes get with road rallies.

Replaced spark plugs at 47500 miles with NGK Iridium, with gap decreased to 0.22. Also ordered Millway TS bushing and Turner adjustable sway bar--will update with some pics when installing.

Took it in for the 7th annual oil change (I never reach mileage first). Also did the following:
I still feel as if I have a new car each time I drive it.

Mine feels that way, too, even though it's only three years old. Not driving it much helps with that.

New BMW M Performance Floor Mats
Supposed to be for the F87 M2, but fit the M240i no problem. More subtle than the previous M Performance floor mat style.

Rennline M2 phone mount. Been waiting on one so I bought it just hoping it'd work.
Fits the F22 perfectly! |

Just picked up the same set. Of course the rear mats are about an inch too long for the F23, but not really noticeable unless you look under the seat.

These look pretty plush. Do they feel nicer than the OEM mats?

I replaced my original set MPSS's in the staggered configuration with a square set of 255/35/18 Yokohama Apex V601's on the 18x9et42 SSR Type-6's I bought from K8_m235i last year. SSR Type-C's were my favorite wheel growing up, so I'm over the moon with how great the meaty setup looks on the car.

The Sportline mats BMW part 51472339459 (there are several colors available, I was able to find ones that are all black) have the plushest carpet and a thicker rubber backing, and are probably the most durable of them of all. |
