Hey another noob question.
What are these empty spaces supposed to contain? In the suspension kit, the slats to the left of the spanner. And the empty spot just below the screwdriver in the onboard tool kit. |

Bottom photo is the wheel lock key if your car has it.
As best I can tell, the slots are for part number 15 in this diagram: https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...diagId=31_1292 They are allegedly wheel hub bolts, which doesn't make sense. Hard to say. |

They are worth the upgrade if you can swing it. I got mine from Will.

From what I recall, the splitter was shipped with these cars on the back of the Rear trunk lid spoiler, cradled in some dense foam material. |

He got them from Will Turner, from Turner Motorsports.
You can pay him in tacos; but they better be really good tacos https://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-4...ts-seats-pair/

So according to The article referenced by 9M 71, And reading some of the technical manual that was posted on the official GTS suspension thread, I think they're the breakaway bolts that you remove to do suspension adjustments.
Looks like that one picture in the article they had microencapsulated thread locker on them. Of course I could be wrong and I often am. It's just fun trying to sort this out while I wait for my first track day which I think it's going to be December 13 at circuit of the Americas. |

So $6100 for carbon pole positions that are the same. The OEM mounts are not cheap, but Recaro + Macht Schnell parts are pretty cheap. |
