I see more LEOs than other cars these days, so I’m setting speed control to the speed limit

Finally got around to installing Tommy L Garage's Mud Flaps. Did wheel stud conversion. Added 12mm and 15mm spacers and put summer tires back on.

All my fellow salespeople can tell you it's deader than a zombie apocalypse right now

About to do TLG flaps, black kidney grills, and black side vents this week.

tucked_m4 · 03-24-2020, 10:40 PM

I finally had time to install my charge pipes and intake a couple of days ago while in quarantine.

I was thinking of the RUSH song Red Barchetta.

Where did you find black side vents? I can't find all black anywhere.

Misread the thread title as referring to upgrades for the coronavirus crisis.

I was thinking some sweet 360-degree flamethrower jets to disinfect yourself from viruses and virus carriers...

Reddevils7 · 03-25-2020, 09:55 PM

anyone know of good deals for parts on our cars? looking at doing an intake upgrade and was thinking eventuri

ClubsportJunkie · 03-25-2020, 10:42 PM

Just enabled apple carplay and full screen mod through Bimmer-tech, and put on more reasonable tires for normal driving on the GTS, 265/35/19 and upped to 295/30/20 PSS 4S's. Tried to go with 275/35/19 up front but it was rubbing sadly.

jpy1980 · 03-25-2020, 10:50 PM

Just got some moods that I’ll need to install soon!

1. CAE shifter
2. Oil level sensor (my car won’t measure oil levels so needed to replace this)
3. Coolant expansion tank (think mine is leaking a bit)
4. Ultimate clutch pedal (will install this when I get my shifter installed by EAS)

Woohoo!

brocurls · 03-26-2020, 01:20 AM

Probably keep the money and wait to buy all these cheap ass stocks

Only thing I really want is a CF diffuser, but it can wait.

ibimmer954 · 03-26-2020, 01:41 AM

I just had a custom short shifter from autosolutions.net installed by my shop. That thing is awesome! I had one on my E46 M3 I loved. This one may be better! Highly recommended.

White340 · 04-04-2020, 06:04 PM

On my list:
1) Full paint correction and coating (Menzerna 400, 2500 and 3500) on my wife and dad's car. 2500 and 3500 for mine. Followed by CSL w/Exov4.
2) Swap out my Z23 front pads for Akebonos, just because. I've had the Z23s on for a year and want to see how they compare to the Akebonos.
3) I want to go through my car and find every squeak and rattle and fix it. I bought some felt tape and gummy pfledge, and will spend some time doing this. The only thing that I'm not sure I will find is a loud thud from the dome light area when going over uneven concrete slab joints.
4) Finally install my RW Carbon CS Replica lip that I've had for 7 months now. I want to put PPF on it first.

lfepro.g · 04-05-2020, 06:46 AM

Upgraded my 428 to an YMB M4

Keebin · 04-05-2020, 02:33 PM

Installed my BP engineering charge pipes and Garret charge cooler.

M3SLOW · 04-13-2020, 10:56 PM

I shouldn't be spending any money at this time but I couldn't resist on not getting my car wrap with Inzotek product.

Anyone else?

Got abit carried away with the mods during this pandemic

Here's a before an after ! P.s if anyone wants to follow my build its @f82much on instagram!! Have fun and stay safe everyone!

WhatTheFetch · 04-16-2020, 09:32 PM

With all the extra time, I finally got around to installing my Coby re-wrapped steering wheel, Pedal Haus shift paddles and blue M1/M2 buttons. The steering wheel feels great, the thickness is very similar to my old Z4 M Coupe. I loved that steering wheel!

I can't say enough positive things about my experience with Coby Wheel, excellent quality, great communication and quick turnaround!

9M71 · 04-17-2020, 07:02 PM

Decided to restitch the handbrake boot in M colors. Tried a few different thread types and stitch patterns before settling on one I like, pictured below. Will do a more in-depth write up if anyone is interested.
