The door seals cut down on some of road noise that gets in the cabin from front tire area. It's 228i part that fits in the open space between the inside of the fender and door frame in front of the door hinges.

Which turn signal bulbs did you buy? Any video of what they look like?

I also posted this in another section of this board.... but it fits well here too;

To hard wire your radar detector or dash cam you can easily and inexpensively tap into the mirror housing.

I have a dash cam in both our 2012 535I and 2016 M2 and also hard wired a V1 radar detector in the 535 mounted with a Blendmount. On the 535I I tapped into the mirror for power on one and the overhead console for the power on the other. The mirror is much much easier.

I used shawnsheridan posting on another forum to install the F10s. When I opened the rear view mirror's housing on the M2 (very easy) I found the same the 10-Wire Connector Plug inside it. The +12V (Switched off the ignition) on the Brown/Green wire and Ground on the Brown/Black wire.

I used the wire taps and fed the wire at the top of the mirror housing. Good to go.

We're doing a BMW M2 giveaway for charity, and thought you guys might be interested? You can see more about the giveaway here – http://crowdrise.com/bmwm2

It was hand painted by street artist Greg Mike, and it is such a beauty – holy crap!

[DelGriffith]

This thread appears to have lost steam when everyone witnessed the unholy thing done to that poor AW in the name of charity... Try to get past that and keep the light mods/hacks coming. This has been one of my favorite threads to follow, I have already ordered many of these bits for my MG one month away.
Can't wait!!

Old Tread....but never too late.

$15/ rattle can of LLB and Clear. Sanded and sprayed the front reflectors. Used a roll of 3M automotive butyl to stick them back in.
Looks just like an IND bought one but cost $130 less.... and was way more satisfying!

the BMS clutch stop is not good for clutch, your clutch is not fully disengaged when using, there are some reports of it ruining peoples cars if you search google

If this is true, I'd like to see the reports!

I've been driving with this for nearly 2 years and haven't had any issues. Clutch feels completely disengaged to me.

I haven't installed it, but plan to and I'd like to see those same reports. I ran three different Google searches, "BMS clutch stop problems", "BMS clutch stop ruined car" and "BMS clutch stop ruined clutch" and I found absolutely nothing, not even a single negative article or forum post. If there are reasons not to install this, I'd appreciate seeing whatever info people are looking at because everything I'm seeing is positive.

This looks great, nice work. Do you mind expanding on your process? I.e. where you got the paint, adhesive, etc., and what grit sandpaper you used? Thinking about doing this myself.

Thanks!

Totally. The hardest part is removing the reflectors. For that follow the IND video.
Once off:
Cleaned the butyl off the car and the reflectors. Used lighter fluid and a scraper.
Sanded the reflector top and sides with 180 grit sandpaper. This included sanding off the raised graphic on the reflector.
Masked the non reflective area as I used the 3m "butyl on that later. See my pics.
Sprayed 2 costs of plastic "adhesive enhancer", make sure you hit the sides of the reflectors.
Sanded with 1000 grit.
Spayed 2 coats of sanding primer (this step is not required some say)
Lightly sand with wet 1000 grit. washed and dried with a hair dryer.
3 Coats of car body color. Wet 1000 before last coat.
3 coats of clear. Sand between required. I didn't.
Apply the 3M 1/32 thick butyl product and trim then stick back on the car.
As the clear coat will be soft for a few days watch for finger prints while install the adhesive material.
All the above can be bought from any online or local automotive paint supplier. Amazon sell kits but they are expensive compared to local guys.

Hope this helps!

Same here - I plan to install this as well, but would like to see any "negative" reports/reviews if they exist. The BMS unit comes with 3 shims; I believe you can remove one or more to get more travel, so it (theoretically) shouldn't be a problem...

I found this thread currently running here on the forum, this was helpful though not definitive...
