What is a "clutch stop"

Thank you +1

Pass down your research results and links if possible. Tested sources are much better than just google search!

Which one? Where to get it from?

This one, which I purchased for a very good price - SupremePower

Question on fuses. How will the flaps open if they are closed by default I'd assume

The fuse pull won't work if you have the parking option. Throws an error.

Best mods for me were a clutch stop and coding.

How would you open them if you do have parking assist? Also how does it effect parking assist if you remove the fuses?

Alcantara CF look without the Alcantara price... Only spent about $100.

Absolutely.

painting over chrome exhaust tips with left over BBQ/stove black paint in the garage. Just to eliminate any chrome on the car

The other way us to crawl under the car and pull the plugs that control the exhaust valve

I have parking assist too and tried the fuse pull thing. It throws up a message on Idrive "parking assistance malfunction" and the car cameras stop working. I plugged back the fuses and everything came back.

Yeah it's like 5 bucks and 1 minute install. Makes a world of difference!

ftedd · 05-01-2016, 10:52 AM

Blackout grills all around.
3M CR 40 tint.

But then my car is black, so...

Coding is great bang for the buck. Euro mdm is another great idea

My most expensive mod was my multiple security deposit

Alvinized52 · 05-01-2016, 10:06 PM

I've always liked roof spoilers but wasn't digging all of the more expensive brands like PSM and AC Schnitzer. I wanted something more subtle... and yes... something less expensive. I found this $90 roof spoiler on Ebay and thought it was worth a shot. Fits perfectly and great quality. Very happy with this purchase.

Original BMW black mirror caps on a MW car instead of those overpriced carbon ones, paid only 50 EUR (60 USD) and VSC-2...works great!

Naz24 · 05-02-2016, 02:24 PM

Who has "knock off" diffusers, and what do you recommend? I just cannot justify spending $1200 on a piece of carbon fiber cosmetics.....

Power Stop ceramic brake pads - reduced brake dust for around $70
