Wasn't too sure of the feeling of the wheel and also about loosing the warmer system of it.

Is that open-pore CF on the ebrake handle? If so, do you have a P/N for it?

It comes with the DCT carbon trim kit (shifter surround, knob and e-brake handle).

Here's a link to the Turner offering:

I have this and the CF steering wheel trim on my car. It really makes the inside feel a bit more expensive (I guess it is, huh?).

No need! I wipe it down EVERY wash ? if I let it get filthy I would never clean it!

There was an issue with my last CF spoiler and Ind noticed I mentioned it here on the forum so they offered to replace it. I uninstalled the last one, used 3M adhesive removed this time which worked great. Highly recommended.


Spoiler off, surface clean.



Spoiler test fit (note it wasn't installed yet in this image as you can see some lift. Don't have installed image handy though)



Did amber front reflectors to body color. Used heatgun mostly in inner fender well to try and not peel the PPF...



Much cleaner look

Once I got moving the car felt really confident.

Good to hear. I'm in Denver and hoping to get by without buying a winter set this year, so it will be interesting to see how it goes on a snowy day with the summer tires on.

In future years I'll get winter rubber but Denver weather is being hugely weird this year. Usually have 20inch of season snowfall in the city by now and it's barely past 2 inches.

Guaranteed it will blizzard the day I take delivery in January lol

Put another M2 next to you in the next picture and then you can fully complete the formula, E = M2 ^2

You really don't want to drive summer tires in the snow. Makes for a very sketchy drive.

It's not a matter of wanting to drive. It's a matter of being able to drive. I've owned 8 BMWs and none we're capable of even being driven in the snow without either xdrive or snow tires. My son just last week didn't get his snow tires on his e90 (which by the way has a custom built LSD) in time and needed to be pushed out of his flat work parking lot with 1 inch of snow,. He also couldn't get up our street after pulling out of the slight downhill driveway. Living in the Chicago which is relatively flat compared to Denver you can trust me when I say getting up our street was not something that should be a challenge. Good luck with your no snow tire strategy.

Tried to keep it simple. Could have said don't do it unless you want to hit something or get stuck.

Guess I could have. Oh well. Just trying to give real world feedback. I've pushed the limits on when I swap the snow tires in. I always lose if I do so.

Wow - the high-res pics above really remind of the one thing that makes me crazy about modern BMWs. The orange peel is horrendous......

I think that's probably correct, but I found that the Orange peel of XPEL really closely matches the Orange peel of the BMW paint. I actually thought the end result looked better than Suntek for that reason... Suntek was too smooth compared to the other parts of the car, and had a slight other texture that didn't look like paint Orange peel; and was more synthetic looking.

I'd prefer the paint be smoother, but it's not terrible, and matching XPEL is a nice side effect.

So we all know about the visibility issue with the 2016-2017 m2 gauge cluster, but did the 2018 backlight display fix this ?
