Christmas/End of Year - BMW M "trinkets"

From5toM · 12-31-2020, 11:21 AM

Was Santa good to you? Or were you on the naughty list? Apparently I was, somewhat... so Santa (aka my wife) was really kind to me and got me quite a few things. Of course I provided her a list

but she surprised me with a few other things as well. My summary:

BMW keychain (from my son)
M key fob
M coasters
M shirt
M jacket
M hats (x2)
M mug
M garage banner
2 custom posters for my office - framed - Shutterfly

My favorite = my garage banner. Mileena now has her stable a bit more homey.

What did y'all get and which was your favorite?

Nothing this Christmas - went the gaming console route.

I'll have to read up on the Vargas. Locally, I got a quote for a shop to do the maximum psi fix, but it's about $4k all said and done. Am debating simply letting it be stock with no tune and no worries.

I love my Uniden R7. I have 2 and can't live without it.

My boy hooked me up with an M Performance x Puma beanie when I bought my F80 beginning of the month and wife grabbed me some Monaco CF tips, floating cf/white center caps and wheel locks. I gifted myself some m performance mats, spacers and a ton of adams cleaning products lol

Got my Vargas v2 hub and CBC installed for $1700 out the door :P. Also recently went to e85 and haven't had any issues so far. I did my research and ultimately felt confident about going with a spline lock solution.

I also just bought a Uniden R7 as well, looking forward to installing it this weekend!

Which shop installed it for you? Thinking of going that route as well. You can pm me if you prefer.

OEM Carbon!

Carguy1994 · 12-31-2020, 10:28 PM

Looks like everyone got some dope stuff. Congrats to all.

This month.... it hurts me to write this LOL ... only the painted reflectors given as a gift.

Port injection ..
S55 Engine - Piston and Rod Build
ACL bearings , cp rods and pistons, minor hone for new pistons (forged internals)
Dct transmission cooler
New tune company for my whip (going with Jordan Cary over Gintani)
Bbs fi-r wheels
Toyo r88r rear tires
Emnotek front painted reflectors
New RW carbon fiber front lip, front upper splitter and front lower splitter. My previous front ripped off earlier 2020. Smh.

Guess I could say my gift from my wife was permission to buy one

Picked up my 2018 ZCP on December 21 - my first M3 since my old 98 e36, which I sold around 2003. I've been waiting nearly twenty years to be back into an M3 and the f80 is fantastic!

Nice, congrats and welcome to the club.

swagon · 01-01-2021, 03:14 AM

Didn't buy anything for the car, but I got myself FIA-certified Sparco Martini racing gloves because 1) I like to pretend I'm a professional, 2) Alcantara steering wheel and my daily leather gloves is a slippery combo on the track.

The Sparcos feel great!

Interested in the beanie! Pics or where to get it from??? I'm also thinking about getting some M Perf mats.

You'll love the R7. I never leave home without it.

It does happen on stock cars, but I would say you are 95% fine. It's really the luck of the draw my install price is $1,700.00. I picked up the spline lock in Black Friday for like 374 bucks. Not a bad haul.

I've got some news, from what I've seen painted reflectors happen to be the best gift on this list.

uncle ben · 01-01-2021, 10:58 AM

Wife bought me the sport pedals and black fender badges for christmas (I provided Santa with part nunbers)

The funny thing is that after spending $550, she was a little surprised when the parts man brought up a box smaller than a shoe box. She was telling me “I had the baby with me and they said they could walk the part out to me, so I popped the hatch on the x5, and watched the guy put the worlds smallest box in the back”

Mike. · 01-01-2021, 12:52 PM

Just picked up some ram air scoops for the mst intake. I'm so excited

Fiancé bought me winter tires, IND painted reflectors, and Acexxon honeycomb rear reflectors.
