I have these. Works great.... But mine still squeaks when cold even when I followed bedding instructions correctly. I hear thats common with CCBs. Even OEM CCBs squeak!

Best free mod: Exhaust valve mod (Just unplugged the sensors and tapped them)
Best Cheap mod: I'd have to say the black kidney grille surrounds (completely change the look of the front on a white car)

I, like most people here, refused to pay $1000 for a cf so I got the RW carbon one and they were great to deal with and I would say that the fitment is about 97%, unless you were expecting the diffuser up front you wouldn't notice. With that said, if I were to buy cf spoiler or mirror caps I would go with a reputable dealer or OEM since that part of the car has a LOT more exposure than a diffuser which sits at the bottom rear of the car

Yep. It's the OEM Competition one. Ind and getbmwparts.com both have them.

Painted stock rear diffuser gloss black. Looks superb and cost just £60

Pained my front grill surrounds. $10 rattle can. Not perfect, but acceptable.

Sorry I didn't do my own coding so I'm not familiar with the stuff, but if you go down to the Coding sub forum there's sticky threads that have all the info you'll need!

i'm not talking about f8x only i'm talking across all generations, there are more m3s that can use that emblem so they charge more for it. e30, e36, e46, e92..., only makes sense since there are more m3's to charge more for it

New to BMW's, bought a used M4 as a daily driver. Are mods more of just personal taste?

I just paid $~30 for the glove box net that we are supposed to get for free. It holds my registration securely and makes the glove box look completely empty when opened.
