I'll get the wheel socket as well since it's cheap and offers a blue version ;-)
two additional questions (as expected) lol
1. heat reflective tape for engine bay - better heat management
I noticed that you've wrapped some of the pipes (intake / turbo inlet?) with heat reflective tapes, I also see Scott in UK did this (a B58 which is different but same idea - see
https://scotthelme.co.uk/the-m140i-p...-post-part-10/ ).
I wonder if I can use heat reflective adhesive roll like this (2"x15') to wrap some of the components for better heat management.

https://www.designengineering.com/re...e-tape-2-x-15/
Reason being it's available on Amazon and I can get it without paying for shipping (as Prime). Did some research and it appears that Design Engineering / Reflect-A-Gold are reputable company and products.
NOTE: what else would you recommend heat protecting for the OG F87 with N55B30T0?
2. how to correctly use the jack pad adapters with jack stands, will ask in the dedicated post:
